Thrift Store Finds

The shopping has begun! I've started my search for nursery decor and thrift stores are hands down, my favorite places to shop for unique items. I always find the best deals on such interesting treasures. However, thrifting takes patience! Most times, you have to scour thrift stores, high and low to find something you love...
BUT it's totally worth it! Check out a few of my fabulous finds.

A Babushka or Matryoshka Doll (Russian Nesting Doll) 
Isn't she gorgeous! Unfortunately, she didn't come with the other nesting dolls usually found inside, but I can always use her to store hair barrettes or other small items.
Only $2!
I love this picture frame and the $3 price makes it even more awesome :)
 These two picture frames are probably my favorite find of the day, they are so unique! Don't they look like they perfectly match the picture frame above... they weren't even at the same store! There are no backs to these frames, but for $1 each, I'm more than happy to make new ones.
 For a total of SEVEN DOLLARS, I scored all of these one-of-a-kind items. How cool is that? $7!

Bored at work?

What to do when you are bored at work:
1. Kill a few flies
2. Put them in the sun to dry for one hour.
3. Once they are dry, grab a pencil and paper... let your imagination flow.

Here are a few examples...

This is a little creepy, but a LOT funny!

Project: Nursery

The color scheme
I want to create a fun and colorful room for Sienna, so I kept that in mind when choosing the color scheme. Her room will have lots of shades of peach and coral, rather than pinks. I was afraid of her room being overly girly, so I'm also throwing in shades of mint green and aqua blues. While shopping, I looked for interesting patterns instead of sticking with one particular theme. I don't mind if everything doesn't "match" perfectly, as long as it all coordinates well, I'll be a happy camper.

Inspiration: Playroom

I love the bold colors, so fun!

I'm in love with this room! It's so elegant with the gorgeous chandelier and crown molding, yet so modern with the bright colors, look at that awesome rug!
