Another Use For...Random Household Things

I think I mentioned that my hubby is going back to school. Well, because of this he needs our desk and office chair more than I do! I've relocated myself to the odd-shaped corner by our sliding glass door, and I desperately needed my own computer space.

With a certain girlie office flair in mind, I gathered items from around our apartment and set up a mini office!

Butterfly Wall Art, Vintage Frames, 'Key' Holder, Wooden Cup, Vintage Celluloid Duck, Hats, Tiger Rug, Folding Table, Floral Sheet, Beads; All: Thrifted/Estate Sale; Chair and Floor Lamp, Target Clearance (two years ago); Mustache, Party Store; Floral Headband, A Thought is the Blossom shop

Most everything here was thrifted or found at estate sales this past year! The desk was one of those folding tables you use to eat by the TV, the 'tablecloth' covering the desk is a vintage sheet, and of course you recognize my tiger rug! It's so soft that I couldn't resist using it in my desk area :)

I'm on the search for a new chair (with a back) that will be more comfy, but otherwise this is my little blog place for awhile. I like the girlie vintage vibe, and that I was able to create it out of things just lying around :)

Always,
Amanda

Another Use For... Wire Kitchen Decor

Since I seem to rarely use my thrifted items as they were originally intended, I thought I'd start a new feature. I'll show you how to look at the ordinary and see something different and a bit quirky, as it seems to come pretty naturally to me :)

First, here's my newly thrifted wire kitchen rooster:

Wire Rooster, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I can imagine him in his original home: a country-themed kitchen that always smelled like fresh cinnamon rolls or those scented pine cones. Now, this little guy serves as the perfect-sized container for vintage beads and jewelry!

A wire kitchen container would also be great for holding spools of thread or bits of fabric, if you're the DIY type :)

Have a great Monday, and happy MLK Day!

Always,
Amanda
