You Had Me At Hello

The entry in my new home. By new I mean 70's two story that screamed cottage when I entered. I loved the brick tile floor. Not the color, but the possibilities of what it can become. My living room has amazing beams on the cieling (future post). I am on a strict budget and I must use what I have to decorate. I am still unsure if this light has found its permanant home.So let's price my space... from left to right

1. Candle hurricane -Goodwill $4.00  this is not a set I put a plant stand base and the glass piece together
2. Plate with stand- Home Goods $3.99 each, I made the tassel                                                              
3. Blue bird- Home Goods $2.99                                                                   
4.Hurricane Southern Living - free hostess gift glass $2 at the dollar store
5.Table -free I spray painted it black it was Hunter Green very 80's I retrieved it from mom's house
6. Wall decals-$5.99 Home Goods
7. Lantern $39.99 Home Depot

I spent $62.95 to redo my entry. It is not perfect, but much more inviting. Decorating does not have to be expensive to be beautiful. Use what you have and enjoy!
