$2.00 Tuesday #10

Yes! I’m happy to be able to post another $2.00 Tuesday.  It’s good knowing there are still items floating around worth $2.00 to decorate your home with.   I have to give credit on this find to my twin – Amina.   She found this chair on the curbside.. sitting lonely –  helplessly waiting to be saved from the dumpster (poor ole chair just looking for a home).   She held onto it for a while until she realized her daughter needed a small chair for a corner area in her bedroom where she practices her guitar.   She pulled the chair from the attic and decided it was ready for a makeover.  Here is the lonely little chair:   I know, pretty drab right???

 

She already had the paint for another project but changed her mind. However, it was the perfect color to brighten up the chair to give it a funky  new look that really pleases my niece.   So the chair was free, but the fabric is what cost $2.00.  She found it on the remnant table.   The chair has a new home, a new look and a new attitude…    So … “How you like me now!?”

Kudos to Amina!! For contributing to the $2.00 Tuesday.  If you find an item and would like to share, please let me know – I’d love to feature it.  Have a wonderful week!

 

 

Chocolates Anyone??

It’s the big weekend for lovers and chocolates..  I posted this song because its a mixture of both my favorites.. But let me take you on my chocolate high..

Accenting with chocolate is always a tasty treat for the home… you can start with an area rug (such as this) with a bold pattern

          

I blended the turquoise blue walls with a deep chocolate sofa

or you can blend it with green walls

    or add green elements to accentuate the chocolate  

It’s always good to have a soft cozy chocolate fur blanket nearby if you catch a chill

                        

How about having chocolate as your side treat  – like a chair

or maybe as a mirror

You can also dine with chocolate  in a room featured here like the jewel of my sister’s home.. her dining room is the perfect blend of Chocolate and Mint ( like unwrapping a Andes Creme de Mint)  (you can see more of her beautiful home here)

         

Or if you care for the milky way kind of chocolate bar.. how about this media room nice dark chocolate with creamy caramel

You can also light a room up with chocolate lighting

Imagine the sweet dreams you’ll have in a chocolate bedroom

 

While smelling the gentle aroma of a chocolate candle

I hope you enjoyed my chocolate high and India’s song…   time to feed my addiction and go have chocolate cake…  sweet dreams

and sweet treats..
