"I saw it on Pinterest"
How often have you seen or heard this phrase recently?
I know I have said it myself a few times. I wish I could claim that all my inspirations, recipes, ideas, and motivators came from my own imagination, but it just isn't so. I have found Pinterest to be a very useful tool at times when it comes to inspiring ideas or giving me just the nudge I needed to try something I had been putting off.
I thought it would be fun to share the photo/s I found as inspiration, and my completed version.
I have to admit I'm not computer savvy enough to figure out how to share the original photo source, but all the photos that aren't my own were found on Pinterest.

I believe I spent about $30 on the supplies for our headboard. $10
for the curtain rod, $9 for the sheer curtains, and another $9 for the
drapery on top. The installation was done by my hubby and the arranging was done by me.

This project was a bit pricier. The shoe bench was $60 from Fred Meyer/Kroger, the coat hooks were $14 each from Wal-mart (which still ended up being cheaper than making my own...I definitely checked!) and the Joshua 24:15 quote wall sticker was from Dollar Tree. We have gotten so much use out of this though, it has been worth it! Even if just for the fact that the shoes are no longer in a huge pile by the door, and the jackets don't stay hung on the back of our dining room chairs.

This only cost me a dollar! I bought a large frame from Dollar Tree, used an old tablecloth for the lace, and just hot glued them together. I had a small shelf that I had never used because I hated the color, so I just painted it black and added a couple of coffee hooks on the front for my necklaces.
Anyway, I have more, but I think that's enough for the day. The boys won't be napping for long and I need to get the house cleaned up some!
