Home Decor Wish List

October 29, 2012 1:21 am /

In my old apartment Eric and I went the entire year without decorating. Seems impossible, I know. I had little decorative objects here and there but nothing really came together as a whole. This time Eva and I are trying to get the apartment together with mirrors, artwork, candles, decorative trays, etc. Thank goodness I live in one of the best neighborhoods for home decor - tons of inspiration and great product! I took a little walk the other week so scout out some pretty things for the home and here’s what I have on my wish list.

 Tocca Candles – The Cross Decor & Design

Tea light candle holders – The Cross Decor & Design

Mini vases on top of a driftwood candelabra – The Cross Decor & Design

Totem pole mugs – Fine Finds

Self-lit candles - Bernstein & Gold Interiors

Home Decor Project Phase 2: The Final Product

June 22, 2012 1:07 am /

A few weeks ago I posted about a set of lamps and table that I purchased from a garage sale with Eric and had planned to repaint and basically overhaul it’s look. Well, it’s finally complete and I am so happy with the final result!

While I was sanding down the lamps I was shocked to see the original paint color come through…it was YELLOW AND RED!!! They must have belonged to Ronald McDonald or something. Suddenly the orange and gold wasn’t so bad! I stripped down the color as much as I could and sprayed both lamps with a white semi-gloss spray paint. Then with the mint colored premium wall paint I hand painted each area. Cost for both lamps $5 + Cost for paint $10 + Cost for lamp shade $12 = $27!!

I still need to track down the second lamp shade at a Home Sense location because I couldn’t find another one. I may just scrap it and buy 2 new ones.

The table needed some major sanding and cleaning and after 3 cans of white semi gloss spray paint it’s still looking a little grey, I need to add at least 1 more coat to get the vibrant white. The handle and hinges were also painted gold. Cost for table $10 + Cost for paint $20 = $30!!

Take a look at the previous post (here) to see the before shots and how it has come to life!

Shopping Finds – Home Decor & A New Basic

May 23, 2012 6:43 pm /

In early April I purchased a liquor tray from Lofty Living in New Westminster – it was posted in the Shopping Finds post at the time. I’ve decided to not display liquor bottles on it but leave it with crystals and drink accessories! The paper straws are from Etsy and all of the crystal is from my parents old collection.

As seen in yesterday’s post, Eric and I hit up a few garage sales over the weekend and I got some great items! Click HERE to see the furniture and lamps I got for only $15! Eric managed to get a 1960s piece of furniture himself for only $10!

Lately I’ve been collecting small glass tea light holders. They’re so beautiful and detailed and add a special touch to my place. They can also be used for many others things such as jewelry pots, and holders for office supplies. At the same garage sale I nabbed this one for only $0.80!

The first garage sale we got to had half a garage full of candles from the Woodward’s department store and apparently when we got there at 11am more than half of them were already sold! I got 2 sets of 6 white candle sticks for $0.10 each – a deal unheard of these days.

Crossing off an item on my 5 Items post I got a pair of skinny white trousers from Zara. They hit right below the ankle bone to not allow too much bunching at the bottom. They create a longer leg and will be perfect for this season. I just have to be careful, I’m notorious for ruining white items before I head out the door!
