With fall around the corner i'm bringing in some more neutrals and darker colors into my kitchen. I scored these green place mats at the Goodwill for a whopping $1.25! I absolutely love the texture it adds to the table and then i found the cute little wooden circle with engraved flowers at Target on clearance for $4! Changed the look of my kitchen completely! And of course, that is Noah being cute and showing me his breakfast before school in the morning.
The colors coordinate a LITTLE too perfectly.
This is a little train peg shelf i scored last weekend at a Yard Sale the Navy threw outside of base. I got it for $0.25! I instantly knew it would go amazing in Noah's room with a little paint.
Here it is primed and painted. Ready for fall where it can hang his sweaters!
For now it is hanging the, oh so true, sign that i got Noah in Texas for 50% which came out to be $2. Noah's room is full of little treasures i've been finding for the last few months.
This is a little jar i found just this past weekend at a Yard Sale where the old lady was selling the most amazing antiques. I instantly pictured it on my window sill with some wildflowers in it. For $0.50 i couldn't pass it up. And then one of my friends recommended that when i'm not using it for flowers to use it as a money jar for Dad when he says bad words and then mom can go shopping. More Yard Sales here i come! What a fabulous idea!
Ok so my biggest project has been Belle's nursery. I've been trying to find cheap easy treasures to make her room come together much like i did Noah's, but it's hard when you have no idea which way to go with the nursery. I started off wanting an old fashion hollywood theme but after months and months of looking at inspiring nurseries online i was LOST on what i really wanted. It wasn't until i found an old vintage military poster that i use to have in my barracks room that the ideas started coming together. So here are the curtains i made for her room Labor Day weekend which tie in the colors from the poster perfectly. I followed the post from Young House Love ( which i LOVE) and it turned out SO easy! On top of that i originally had different curtains picked out from Urban Outfitters which would have cost me $120 total but with Joann's Labor Day sale i scored the fabric for these for $50! I saved $70!

I saved $70!So my next project was making Belle's crib skirt which again i followed the lovely Young House Love (their tutorials are SO easy to follow)! I was mostly stumped on the fabric i wanted to use. I KNEW i wanted a dark shade of blue to compliment the curtains and possibly some SMALL detail to not override the flowers on the curtains and stripes on the walls. So at the SAME yard sale that i scored my little mason jar i found THIS fabric. Can we say PERFECT?! It was almost like it was made to go in her room! For $1 i got about 4 yards and only needed 1 1/2 so i will have to find something else to use the yards for. Maybe pillows?
The colors coordinate a LITTLE too perfectly. 
Coming along pretty good!
My main source of inspiration at this point :)
And for your viewing pleasure, here i am at 30 weeks pregnant. What would a little thrift store shopping be without some fashion? Like my outfit? I received more compliments on it then anything else in my closet, and it cost me a total of $7! Gotta love the Goodwill. The funny part is that my $40 sandals cost more than my whole outfit! And the BEST part is that i'm still not wearing maternity clothes!!!!!
