Entry Update

We have been in our house for almost 6 years.

When we moved in we tried to match the style of the model home 

we fell in love with that fateful afternoon so long ago.

The problem was it was a bit dark for me.

Don't get me wrong it was beautiful,

but it never felt like it was my style.

Now after all this time I am finally shifting back to a style that makes

my heart happy with it's pops of color and displays of things that make me smile!

Since our budget is super, super tight

all redecorating has to be done on the cheap.

 Thrift stores that have 50% off sales, coupons, and spray paint are my best friends!

I was able to get the five frames for $5.20

the spray paint for $3.87 

(Rust-Oleum~Gloss Seaside and Flat White-already had)

the mini clothes pins for $1.97 (Hobby Lobby coupons for the win)

the plant for $3.48 (Walmart)

the flower pot and coaster for $2.17 (99 Cent Store)

Photo prints $1.69 (Costco 5x7s for $0.39 each!!)

We had the clock, the candle holder, plate for Kenny's change and keys, 

and the beautiful fire engine already 

(From my beloved Mam.  She was adamant we take it home 

with us on one of our visits before she passed away).

So for less than $19

I was able to update our entry and give it some personality!

Totally worth spending a little of my "egg money"

to bring some personality to our entry!

Hopefully this summer we will be able to repaint the interior to a much lighter shade,

but that is a big project and big expense 

so we will have to see.

Fingers crossed we can make it happen!!

What do you think?

What is your favorite way to update a space?

Until next time,
