I’m currently in the process of re-designing my daughter’s room and am absolutely in love with the new bedroom trend of kids teepees! Of course I had to search Pottery Barn to see if they had one, and wouldn’t you know it..they do, but it’s a whopping $229..which is a crazy price for a play tent, I mean you could get this REAL tent for less money!

As you can imagine, I was super stoked to find this Children’s Pink & White Striped Teepee on Walmart.com only $79.00 for a third of the price! I’m thinking about using it as a nice reading nook for the kids!

west-elm-tripod-knockoffAhh…hello, we meet again you beautiful West Elm Tripod Wood Floor Lamp (priced at $249). Ever since I laid eyes on you, I determined that it would be cool if you hung out with me in my living room while I watched tv and snuggled with my family on the couch, but alas, your price tag is too dang expensive, so for that, I’m going to have to cheat on you with this Threshold Brushed Silver Linear Shaded Floor Lamp I found at Target, it’s only $59.99 and more well suited for my budget. xoxo, Chrystie

I don’t know about you, but I just love the look of this entryway. I sometimes oftentimes wish that I had a large enough entryway or mudroom to put something like this together! Today I took the Samantha Entryway from Pottery Barn and recreated it with *suprise* Ikea shelving! I chose to do the Hemnes bookcases at $150, I think they are more similar to the Pottery Barn shelving. But you could get away with using the Billy Bookcases on Ikea for less!

Hemnes White Bookcase $150 (will need 2)

Anslev Rug $19.99

frozen-bedroom-under100

Let me guess, you’ve got a little girl in your household, who walks around singing “Let it Go” at the top of her lungs and every other word out of her mouth starts with the words “Anna” or “Elsa”. I can relate, my seven year old loves the movie Frozen and stops what she is doing anytime the song comes on my Pandora radio station (Katy Perry Radio if you are interested ;) .

Today I put together a Frozen themed girls room on a budget. For under $100 I was able to get the comforter, pillow, curtains, a cute matching nightgown and some free printables to throw in a frame and put up on the wall. Bonus tip: NEVER pay for wall prints, search the internet for a large picture, hit print and put it in a frame, Voila…cheap free art!

Disney Frozen Body Pillow $12.99

Free Frozen Printables – Print these out on thick paper and pop em in a frame – FREE!

DIY Jewlery Glass Dome Cloche with Thrift Store Finds

/ DIY, Pottery Barn Knockoff / Comments Off

final-jewelry-cloche

I’ve been in love with this Pottery Barn Glass Dome Cloche ever since I saw it, I think it gives a nice elegance to jewelry storage, but at $49 – $99 a pop..that’s a little too elegant for my taste! Instead, I headed over to Salvation Army on a Wednesday (when it’s 50% off) and scored a few items to make my own Jewelry Glass Dome Cloche.

pieces-diy-jewelry

Items Purchased:

Cheese Plate w/ glass lid $1.25
Candlestick $.50
Plate: $.50
Total Spent: $2.25

paint-after Items used:
White Spray Paint
Epoxy Adhesive

The first thing I did was spray paint the candlestick and plate white. I do this very easily in my driveway using a cardboard box. Once the items were dry, I used the epoxy to glue them together. Voila, that’s it!
