Trash-Treasure Find

Please tell me that some of you reading this have found a treasure in the trash before? Anyone? Was out with my friend the other day, we were driving home and i passed a gorgeous shelf out for the trash. I said to my friend 'omg did you see that shelf? that was soooo cute' she had totally missed and we turned around, and after about twenty minutes managed to get it into my car. We know we want to refinish it but haven't started yet, but here is a sneak-peek.

Decorating

So I have been bothered by this blank wall in our bedroom for some time now. I don't like blank walls, I think walls should be filled. Maybe a little toooo filled, but whatever. A couple of weeks ago I spotted this frame out for the trash, i drove past it a couple times and decided to pull over and pick it up.

Isn't it pretty? If you could see it for real you would see that it is hanging by a few last nails. But I love it! So it hung on the wall for a little with nothing in it but I had an idea what to do with it.

Enter these wall decals I found at Michaels awhile ago:

 Aren't they soooo cute?

I wanted to use them more then once though so I taped the picture to the bank of the frame and then sticky tacted the frame to the wall.

I had to move them around quite a few times to get them just right, also ignore the some of them aren't smooth (welcome to a renters life ;)

Whadda ya think?

I'm loving it.

For right now anyways.
