Table Makeover

So I have more of my home decor "designing on a dime" type stuff to share with you! Late February Tori and I went garage sale shopping which turned into flea market shopping since there were only two garage sales in the whole town of Cabot, no kidding. Might I add I love flea market finds I just love getting a good deal and making it my own.

I found this table at Decorators Bazzar in Jacksonville for $25 and it was exactly what I was looking for to go in our living room.

Here is a top view and front view before.
Then here is the after view of the top and front! I am so excited about this table it turned out exactly how I wanted it to! With some help from Abbey, Timmy, and Tori this flea market find turned out fabulous. All we did was take some pages from a couple of French books, a French Reader's Digest and "ta da."

Here it is sitting below the "key wall," how fun is that?! Oh and in this picture you can also see the new living room/ hall color as well as our new red furniture.

Designing on a Dime!


(Above): How cute are these?! I took what you will see pictured below, cut out two maps (one of Ireland and one of Italy) from an atlas that I found at a flea market, and some Mod Podge and
ta duh cheap but super cute wall hangings for the "world/manly themed office"

(Below):This is the before. I had these wooden decor things from my bathroom a long time ago which I have no use for now so I decided to give them a new life and use them in the office.


Original Wal Hangings= we will say free since I have forgotten their original cost
Mod Podge= I already had
Atlas= $2
Total= $2
