Ikea Rast Nightstand Hack!

Has anyone seen IkeaHackers.net? This website shows how you can take some basic furniture pieces from Ikea, and turns them into amazing, unique decor for your home! I had been searching for a long time for two matching night stands for my bedroom. I had originally planned on finding two second hand tables to paint white, but everything was either too ugly, too much money, or there was only one. Then I saw this post over at 4Men 1Lady:

Basically my dream bedroom!

I can do this...

And then, I saw these beauties for $34.99 each at Ikea:


Ikea Rast 3 Drawer Chest

And I decided to DIY my own Ikea hack!(Ok, so I really only painted them, but that still counts as a hack, right?)

Starting My Gallery Wall: Inspiration

I have been seeing gallery walls all over pinterest lately!

So I have been collecting interesting frames from thrift stores to make my own! This weekend, after setting up my new entry table, the wall above it was looking pretty bare. So I decided to go ahead and get started!

Thrifty Fashion!

I buy a lot of my clothes and accessories from thrift stores, and I always receive compliments, and then amazed looks when I tell them where I got it. There are treasures out there for the taking, people! I never pay full price for anything. You can find gently used(sometimes brand new!) designer and quality clothing and accessories at thrift stores! Even those on a limited budget can still enjoy shopping and looking their best, and for me, I just revel in the fact that I am paying MUCH less than what the item originally sold for. Take a look at today's find from Goodwill, this awesome "croc" Jessica Simpson brand purse.

Look at that adorable ruffling!

I know Jessica Simpson's line isn't designer per say, but I do know that her purses range from $100-$200, at least the ones I have seen. I paid $6. Six dollars!!!! This purse is practically brand new. There isn't a single speck or crumb inside or out. I love finding great deal! What have you found lately?
