Hey.. My sweet friends... Hope that this day finds you blessed !!
Wanted to share some designs on a dime.. It is true you can have something look fabulous and keep a little in the bank ..
 
 
 
The Lamp above is a beautiful find. This lamp had a broken arm
Which was fixed and this was painted.. YOU cant tell that there was ever a problem with it . Worth a ton of money . Lamp works and is beautiful ... Paid $9.00
 
The frame below.. As you can see the real treasure is  Westin
One of the lights of my life.. The frame ...
I picked up for $1.00 WHOOT WHOOT
 
 
The frames all line the hall where the kids bedrooms are and the guest bathroom
all the frames that you see were all bought on a dime. I did  not pay over $2.00 on any of these frames you see here.... And as you can see ... Looks great .. !!!! I love a good design on a dime dont you ?
 
Those pictures are my beautiful family .. (blessed )
 
 

                           My next design on a dime.. I now own two of these... This one cost me

                                     $5.00 .. I think that it is worth that. I am kicking around
                                            The idea on painting this one.............. Love it

 
 
The floral arrangements (pair) $8.00 LOVED that deal
 
 
 
Okay every item on this shelf all a design on a dime....
The silver plated set $5.00
The plate (collector) $2.00
The boxes $4.00
 
 
These candle holders with the little bit of bling
The candles were from a garage sale all for $2.00
The holders from a sale and they were $15.00 for the set
 

 
 
Everything below totalled $8.00
Now that is a deal !!!
 
 
More designs on a dime.. YOU really can make things look amazing and be on a tight budget
 
 
 This chair .. Painting for Westin (4 years)
Got the chair for $5.00

  4. You really know how to get a good deal! Wow! So impressed with all your bargains. One of my favorite recent finds is a beautiful bowl (that looks like an expensive one from Anthropologie) for $3! And a gold hammered round tray to put on top of my trunk used as a coffee table for only $5. I love a good deal. I don't remember the last time I paid full price for anything haha.

    Hope you have a great weekend, Sherry!

  7. My design on a dime tips are simple. If you can make it, don't buy it. And huge in my world is, if you can reuse, recycle, or redo, don't buy new. I find fabrics and old feed sacks or coffee bags, fabric finds at yard sales, even old bedding. Turn them into seat cushions, curtains, covers for cupboard doors, wreaths, anything your mind can dream up. Old jars with mismatch lids? Discount stores have some nice colors, or just black spray paint. Paint all the lids, glue on an old knob or empty spool of thread just before you paint them. You have a new set of canisters or storage containers on all shapes and sizes. Super simple, and a little unique. So many things you can do once you start, you can't stop. Blessings to all.
