animal silhouette plates

after 3 tedious hours of cutting and mod podge, i am finished.
emory was very excited when she saw them, she is currently obsessed with animals.
i am thinking they will go above her bed but that decision can’t be made until i finish her headboard.
cost breakdown:
plates: $7.00
mod podge: $4.00
black cardstock: $2.00
Total cost: $13.00
yesterday i picked up the batting for her headboard at joanns, it is currently on sale for 40% off.
they are also having a huge fabric sale right now.
gotta love a sale!
now that i have everything to make the headboard, i am thinking tonight is the night!

a sneak peek…

i have been collecting things for emory’s bedroom for months.
after countless trips to thrift stores, yard sales, and online fabric stores i think i almost got everything.
now let the projects begin…
the fabric for her headboard arrived last week.
i love it and can’t wait to see the finished headboard.
i found this child’s size wicker chair on ksl for $15.00
i seem to have a soft spot for child size furniture.
it might be getting a coat of spray paint, we will see.

i scored this antique trunk for $15.00.
other than needing a little tlc, it is the perfect toy box.

nothing better than finding the perfect throw, thanks ikea!

this stack of plates will soon be transformed into animal wall art.
$7.00 for 9 plates, not-to-shabby.

i can’t wait for emory’s room (and the toy room, play room, guest room) to be finished.
don’t forget to check back for updates!

Chic and Unique – Salt Lake City

on saturday i spent my afternoon browsing local furniture shops.
chic & unique has to be my all-time favorite.
It is located at 778 south 300 west, salt lake city and is a must see.
The store is full of gems.
furniture, antiques, accessories, lighting, and so much more.
i just can’t get enough of this buffet table.
i love the color, style, hardware, well everything about it.
$200.00, i would say that is a deal.

The prices are also very reasonable.
it is hard not to leave with a car full of purchases.



i spent quite a bit of time gawking and taking pictures.
i was even lucky enough to meet the owner.
very sweet and has an incredible eye for design.

dressers galore, i bet this one would add some life to a bedroom!
$200.00
$45.00 for most side tables

antique accessories, i love them.


$150.00 for this stunning desk.
i love how the drawers are left natural.

i would say this store is worth an afternoon shopping trip.
i can’t wait to go back!
