Pinterest has become my best friend when it comes to looking for new DIY ideas and home furnishing tips. I've always been rather crafty when it comes to putting things together and doing things myself so I think that I'll try and do a lot of that in our new home.

I fell in love with this chair via Pinterest and have been on the hunt to find something similar that I can refinish for my home office. I visited a couple of thrift stores over the weekend but had no luck finding a chair silimar to the style but I did get away with some other great items.
I own a small event planning business and I'm always on the hunt for things that I can use for display and decor. I found 3 great trays that I'll add to the inventory. I purchased all three trays for $5 (SCORE!)
Also found eight mustard colored plates at the Goodwill that I'd like to use for in our new home. The color would be great for a fall themed dinner and I'm already looking for napkins and rings that would compliment the dishes. They were half off so I purchased the set of eight for $3.75 (SCORE!)
On top of those great deals, as I was checking out I found a bag of Beer Bottle Caps. Immediately my mind jumped to the Basement and the bar area that I'd like to build. The Basement will be the area of the house that we spend the most time in since we love to entertain. I got the entire bag of caps for $2 and will think of some funky idea to incorporate them into the bar area. Whether it be framed, in a vase, or some other idea like this bottle cap table top for example. I'm sure I'll think of something. If not, they will most definitely be used at the next male centered event I plan. 
Hi TechMama, I love your ideas! Very Nice!! Thank you for the compliment on our soon-to-be Wet Bar which will housed next door to the Spa/Exercise Room! It's actually going to be a Juice Bar! We don't drink, but we do make juices, smoothies etc
ReplyDeleteDo you have website for your event business? Would love to check it out!
Thank you! No website yet but it's in the works. I'm still in the early stages where it recently changed from a hobby to an income generator :) I'll be sure to post about it when I get there. The Juice Bar is a lovely idea. I just started juicing myself and I love it.
DeleteCheers for good health! My family has jumped on the band wagon and love it too! When are you expected to break ground?
Deletebtw--when you get a chance, please turn off the word verification off on your blog. It makes it much easier for us bloggers to leave a comment. Each time it has us decipher this weird word and so annoying. Thanks a bunch!!
Thanks for that tip. Should be off now (hate those). As of today, I'm looking at a mid Novemeber date for breaking ground. It's not a firm date though.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteLove that chair! I have been wanting to get into thrifting, but never took the time to do so...but I'm gonna have to make time and just do it.
ReplyDeleteFound it on Pinterest. When I look there I come up with all sorts of crazy ideas :)
