on a mission

Today I finally made a decision; I am going to focus on getting all our decorating done. I am bound and determined to finally put treatments on the windows, art on the walls and furniture out of the basement. After two years, I would say it is long overdue.

In an effort to begin to accomplish my big dreams I headed out shopping. We have been collecting water colors from our various travels and it’s about time they get a spot on the wall. So off I went to find a variety of inexpensive photo frames. First to Marshalls/Homegoods where I had hoped to hit the mother lode. Unfortunately I only found one suitable item. At $2 I thought it was a steal. Then I went to Michael’s next door where I found 10x13” and 11x14” frames for $.01. No that is not a typo, they were one penny… so I bought 8. The cashier told me when they go that low they are due to be thrown out. That’s right, thrown away!!

After a failure at a few other stores like Kohl’s and TjMaxx (luckily they are all in the same strip) I headed to the Family Sharing in G-ton , where I found some more great frames. Color and condition were not relevant as I plan to paint them all black.

I have yet to figure out if D is excited about my finds, but he seems excited to get these up. We will see how that goes, but here is the before shot of our project.
