Now, this is everything. Look at the door hidden by the wall paneling. Genius.<br />
I'm definitely in love and I have to find a way to DIY it because I'm still scared of cutting off my finger with a table saw. Sigh, phobias are the worst.<br />
<br />
Which one do you like the most? <br />

I'm sure you have probably seen these photos of Kourtney Kardashian's house but I couldn't resist. I know some people thought it was tacky but I LOVED it. They took a lot of daring risks with the design that makes me want to step out of my comfort zone. </div>

There are numerous tutorials to DIY your own mirror but they seemed a little too complicated aka they had math involved and I don't have the patience for measurements. I also have an irrational fear that I might lob off a finger messing around with a circular saw so those tutorials weren't for me. Nope, definitely not for me, I love my fingers.<br />
<br />
Then, I saw this <a href="http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2012/02/tutorial-pb-inspired-tiled-mirror-for-10/" target="_blank">tutorial</a> using Dollar Store mirrors and I figured, why not try it? Even if it was a epic fail I wouldn't blow a lot of money.<br />
<br />
I didn't follow all the instructions in the link above because I wanted a much bigger mirror and needed a more sturdy and stable backing.<br />
<br />

I also purchased a sheet of 5 MM plywood and had it cut the Home Depot for $15. (no circular saw for me). I screwed the hanging hook into wood on either side and I did pull my level out to make sure they lined up together. The piece of plywood I used measured 43 x 54 3/8.<br />

I made sure the mirrors hung over wood by about 1/4 of the inch on all sides and just lined them up by eye balling them and glued them down using E-6000. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIeN7g6L_7wmXVEldZA6-opSaL8bJwX6gmjBkXzS4ITkEbq5hTwnIOAtyYwVdzyqOV9w85rI1p_QHkftmcXjKtqPJ_92HE2mqKaPHZX9dsyUrPwGF0SwFM6Rug1Kq7EcM_IrcZXh4g8rJ/s1600/20140114_171249.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIeN7g6L_7wmXVEldZA6-opSaL8bJwX6gmjBkXzS4ITkEbq5hTwnIOAtyYwVdzyqOV9w85rI1p_QHkftmcXjKtqPJ_92HE2mqKaPHZX9dsyUrPwGF0SwFM6Rug1Kq7EcM_IrcZXh4g8rJ/s1600/20140114_171249.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's the final product. Isn't it pretty? I only had one mishap when I pressed down too hard on one of the mirrors over the hanging screws and it broke so be careful when pressing down over that area if you are going to try this project. Other than that mishap, it was an easy, peasy project than gives a great impact.<br />

The budget didn't allow for real flowers, so my niece & I created these centerpieces using faux roses from <a href="http://www.efavormart.com/velvetrosebuds-cream-84pk.aspx" target="_blank">here </a>.</div>

Summer is in full swing... I celebrated by buying myself some shoes from <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-mossimo-poeske-flat-sandal-assorted-colors/-/A-14029043#?lnk=sc_qi_reviews" target="_blank">Target</a> and the best part is they were $15, aren't they cute???<br />
<br />
Being a single parent with two kids and a full time job is always challenging and now I have taken in a teenager who was getting physically abused in her home (not all people are meant to be parents). I've been slightly (okay a lot) overwhelmed and I need to find some balance in my life. How do you deal with busy times in your life without becoming overwhelmed?<br />
<br />
Is anyone watching Design Star? I think they finally have a great pool of designers to choose from, they are off to a great start.<br />

Well my powder room was that project for me. I started the room, way, way back when <a href="http://homedecorbudgetista.blogspot.com/2010/02/updating-powder-room-part-ii.html">here</a>. I was dying for brown room but I after I painted it, I didn't love it but I kept it for at least a year thinking it would grow on me and it didn't. <br />
<br />
After living with it for over a year, I still wasn't happy (the dang thing refused to grow on me). While I shopping in Walmart, I bought a gallon of discontinued paint for $4 (Can you believe that price?) and immediately I thought of my powder room. Yes, a plan was forming. <br />
<br />
After painting, I loved the color but I felt it was missing something so tada, I thought why not use the stencil I used in the <a href="http://homedecorbudgetista.blogspot.com/2011/05/guest-room.html">guest bedroom</a>. Stenciling the wall in the bedroom was easy compared to stenciling the bathroom. I did a lot #^%$@# when I got to the corners and behind the toilet. After three days (I took a lot of breaks), I was finally done and it's so worth it and the best part is I only spent $30 for the drastic change. Yes, $30, I love a good bargain.<br />

The other day I ran into IKEA for some storage boxes and what did I spy, high gloss side tables. If you've shopped in IKEA you know that their Lack series of furniture are very popular because of the look and the price. Well IKEA has put a new spin on the series and have created some lacquered pieces in the Lack line.<br />

I'm in love with the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10193734/">gray side table</a> and so course the red and white tables are not too shabby either. The best part is the price $12.99 each piece.

Well, Season 3 has started up again. Yes, Season 3, apparently Season 2 aired on HGTV and they didn't advertise it. Sometimes, I don't think HGTV has focus groups or even remotely listen to their viewers, it actually should be called the House Hunters channel because the programming is packed up of those shows. HGTV, if you're listening, more design less house hunting please?<br />
<br />
I've set my DVR to record all the repeats of Candice Tells All and I've been catching the shows I've missed. As usual Candice delivered amazing rooms, here's a couple of rooms from the series that I fell in love with. awww.... pure eye candy.<br />

I created the entire table for less than $10. Since I'm not a baker, Duncan Hines was welcomed in my kitchen. The table consisted of cupcakes, candy coated marshmallows, brownies, diy party popcorn and Rice Krispy treats.<br />

I was wandering in Home Depot and I spotted the most amazing product... you know what I'm going to say, Yes, Formica. <br />

<br />
The countertops that look remarkably like the real deal. The price is around $16 a sq ft from the <a href="http://www.formica.com/en/trade/ProductLine_Colors.aspx?redir=1?redir=1&prl=prl_laminate&cls=CLS_180FX#">Formica Corporation</a> which is way, way less than a marble slab. So what do you think, would you buy it?<br />

To save money for my trips, I wouldn't eat out and I would brown bag my lunch it and it was so worth it. Nothing beats lying on the beach in St. Thomas or standing under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. During every trip, I would always pick up a plate from each country and/or a cheesy sovereign.<br />
<br />
During one of my trips to Jamaica, I purchased the following "art work" (I'm using this term loosely) and years later I'm still thinking the same thing, what exactly is it and is it getting uglier? I could blame it on the margartias but since I only have one drink a day, that can't be it so let's blame on the sun and being relaxed... yup that sounds much better.<br />

This year I've decided to start purging and getting rid of stuff that aren't enriching my life, and of course this "art work" was on my hit list. I was getting ready to throw it out when inspiration hit while I was playing around on <a href="http://www.tagxedo.com/">Tagxedo</a>. Tagxedo is a cool FREE website that allows users to use words to create visually stunning typography shapes.<br />

I was browsing Houzz the other day and I came across this FABULOUS reno, that seriously took my breath away. The renovation was done by <a href="http://www.dspacestudio.com/">dSPACE Studio</a> in Chicago and let me tell you, the attention to detail, the cohesiveness of the design is top notch. It's truly a job well done. Enjoy!<br />

Last week I was browsing the blogs and I came across a killer idea from Chelsea from <a href="http://www.twotwenty-one.com/2012/01/diy-lucite-tray.html">two twenty one</a> and I couldn't wait to try it.<br />

I downloaded the background from <a href="http://sprik.blogspot.com/2011/03/pattern-pieces-chevron.html">Sprik Space</a>, she is very generous with freebies, make sure you head over and check out her blog. I then edited the background in Picnik (Google has decided to shut down Picnik...boo...) adding my initial within a circle. I created two tray liners and printed them at Office Depot for $2, cut them and Voila!!!<br />

You would have to be under a rock to not realize that chevron pattern is now mainstream and is everywhere. I know a lot of people are sick of chevron but it's been around forever and it's so high impact that it always makes a statement. I'm still in love with it, especially in tile work and I did a post <a href="http://homedecorbudgetista.blogspot.com/2011/09/bathroom-inspiration-tile-shop.html">here</a> on bathroom inspiration and I loved the chevron tiles that were in the Tile Shop. <br />

Target has jumped on the bandwagon and have produced a line of home decor items with chevron. I was walking in the aisles of Tar-gay and I saw a gold chevron lampshade and of course I snatched it up. I've been searching for a lamp shade to add to some solid brass lamps I picked up from goodwill.<br />

Now that I have them home, I'm still smarting from the price tag of $20 a piece. Yup I'm <strike>cheap</strike> frugal like that.<br />
I haven't really unwrapped it because I'm still on the fence, so what do you think?<br />
Should I or shouldn't I keep it?Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00616050059568456682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004513600560713438.post-66920821541793271292012-01-17T08:30:00.001-05:002020-10-12T16:56:24.622-04:00Luxe for Less - LabelsI love a good looking label and since I'm not a Photoshop user, it's very time consuming way to create nice ones in a regular word processing program. I did create ones for the my daughter's sweet sixteen <a href="http://homedecorbudgetista.blogspot.com/2010/12/dreams-sixteen.html">here</a>, but they took some time. Well here comes Martha Stewart to the rescue, she's teamed up with Avery labels and have created a label line. The line is now available through <a href="http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/martha-stewart-home-office/?icid=HP:HP:ALLEY_TEXT:MARTHA:NULL:20120101:4">Staples</a>. Aren't they lovely?<br />

In January, not only do you get the post Christmas sales, you also get the furniture closeout deals as the stores make way for new models. I've seen so many deals on the web so I thought that I'll share some of my favorites. Some of these items have been heavily discounted so if you like anything, grab it as I'm sure they won't last long.<br />
