Coming to California with only what fit in our cars means that we started out with very few pieces to decorate with. Slowly but surely, we're making this apartment a home, and most of that has meant crafting and thrifting one-of-a-kind things that we love. Here are three things you can do to spice up & re-do home decor pieces you already have (or can easily thrift) to make them like new!
1. Throw some chalkboard paper in it.
This was originally a mirror that got dropped recently (not to name any names, but...MOM!) but the frame was too beautiful to get rid of it. So I ordered some
chalkboard contact paper to fill it with--it's self-adhesive, so I just stuck it to the original cardboard backing and voila! I've decided it will be a weekly rotating Beyonce lyric chalkboard...more on that later.
2. Throw some gold on it.
Gold spray paint is my new favorite thing. I bought this elephant for $1 at Michael's & the cute little deer was in a care package from home--both were originally grey, but a little coat of paint makes them perfect little buddies for this white & gold themed display.
3. Throw some gold AND floral on it.
These frames were originally a powder blue, and I scored them for free at a garage sale. I simply tacked scrapbook paper to the backs & used gold adhesive letters to make some sassy phrases. Overly girly and slightly sassy has kind of become our theme--sorry not sorry? I don't think I'll ever grow up.
