Home Decor on a Budget

Before

This alcove in my bedroom has had bare walls for the nearly 4 years we've lived in the house. I finally, finally got it decorated. And it looks amazing!

Everything came from Target... my favorite store for cheap finds. The mirror was clearanced to $20. The shelf was also $20 but the wrong color so I just sanded it down and painted it with left over wall paint. The frame I've had for years (I never throw away a frame, you never know when they can be repurposed in a different room). Th vases were my splurge, $35 for the bigger one and $20 for the smaller. But the color was just so perfect for my color scheme (gray and beige with pops of bright blue) that I had to have them. My solution: ask for gift cards for Christmas. Now I have a wonderful reading corner that doubles as a great nap couch when all the sunshine comes in in the afternoons.
