No Cost Re-Do

Recently, my friend Niki was having Bunco night at her house; she asked me to stop in and help her with her entry way. I love a "no cost re-do;" it was so therapeutic for me after a busy week at work! :) A few months before I found this secretary in her attic, and we painted it with leftover paint and stain. She also had an old, gold-framed mirror that wasn't being used. I mentioned that it would make a cute chalkboard, so Niki painted the frame white and used chalkboard paint on the mirror portion. She had these great Walter Anderson prints
(a Mississippi artist:). I love how they add color. I just rearranged the space a bit and hung the wall art. She loved how it turned out (and husbands love when it doesn't cost anything)!

Before..
After...
Look how cute Niki's family of pumpkins are!

The girls have fun, while we decorate and talk! :)

  2. Hi! I found you through Jennifer at All that Glitters and your blog name caught me right off the bat! Anything with thrifty living is right up my alley! :-) I love how you redid this space for your friend and gave it such a fresh and welcoming look. I'm anxious to scroll down and see more of your great projects! Hop over and say 'hi' sometime if you get a chance,

    P.S. I host a linky party every Friday and would love to have you join in the fun sometime!
