Bargain Finds

The Star Mill

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this cute little place to finally open its doors for the season. This is a new find of mine and I quickly fell in love with this awesome place. My curiosity spiked as I was reading Kirsten’s blog and saw this beautiful mirror that was purchased there.

This place is lovely! Its an old mill owned by a family with a passion for antiques. Its full of amazing nick naks and treasures. The owner and her sweet family were so nice and helpful! Even if you aren’t out for a good find its amazing just to walk through.

Take a look:

As if the place wasn’t already amazing…. it has a wall of books that totally won me over!

The cutest room in the entire place: The Jar Room. Wouldn’t it be cute to have a wall like this in a playroom?

I couldn’t resist buying a few things.

My mirror, lamp, and books = $42!

I love the color and detail on this mirror.

I couldn’t resist buying a few books from that lovely book wall :)

I will be making frequents stops to this new found ! For those of you local to the SLC area, who want to visit, they are open Thursday-Saturday from Noon-6pm!

Refinshed Coffee Table

Alright guys my $30 coffee table took me FOREVER to finish, phew sorry about that. I had a “vision” and I ignored it…. BIG mistake. My vision was the stained top table but I painted the entire thing white and I hated it! I had to sand all of the white paint off and stain the top but it was so worth it!

After I finished sanding the top the little nobs turned more silver colored. It added a little industrial feel that I really liked so I added the industrial wheels to match and to add height.

I’m getting major spring fever so I figured it’s time to use some fresh decor. I found these metal floral prints at Rod Works and couldn’t resist. They are really meant for my bedroom but I’m using them here for now.

I switched out my stenciled curtains for the white curtains I had in my bedroom. They lightened up the room and gave it a fresh new look.

Do ya wanna see what my living room look liked when we first moved in? It was about 3 years ago…. for the LOVE of brown lol ;)

:: then ::

:: now ::

Ahhhh much better! Our new paint color changed the entire feel of our home and its exactly what I was going for!

So have you started switching things up and adding in your spring decor?

Jar Terrariums

They are finished! I finally found more succulents so I could finish building my jar terrariums. They aren’t as full or vibrant as my inspiration but I love them! I had the hardest time finding decent succulents when it finally dawned on me….. IKEA! I swear sometimes that place has the answer to everything ;)

These two smaller succulents are both from IKEA. If you plan on making your own terrariums check there first. They had the BEST selection.

The succulents in my large jar are from Home Depot; their selection was horrible! It consisted of the four plants that are in my pot and they were all very small. I was desperate and wanted my terrariums finished so I bought them. I hope they survive!

Here is the entourage of terrariums ha ha ha. This is seriously the perfect spot to place them and I love the simple/clean look they provide. Wish me luck with my not so green thumb! If you want to build your own terrariums stop by and visit Jamie for an awesome tutorial.

While I was at IKEA I picked up this cute fake herb plant to build a new table scape for my dining table. It works for now!

I also picked up this lovely item……

Yep its blue and white stripes…. my current obsession and I think I’m making pillows with it for my bedroom. It will look awesome with my latest purchase which is currently being shipped!
