$1 Holiday season decor {DIY}

As you might have seen from my thrifted weekend haul I scored a little reindeer and a natural twig wreath, they were $1 a pop! Yes that is less than I pay for a coffee.

With a little paint I have transformed the dining room buffet for the Holiday season, even better the reindeer painter {my niece} accepted payment in home made chocolate cupcakes!.

Remember he was a gaudy shade of Christmas gold before

Also I tied some ribbon to the wreath with a little bow and hung it over the top of the mirror (Fixing to the wire at the back of the mirror).  

$2 well spent?

The Thrift stores seam to have allot of Christmas decorations out, I am sure there will be even more in store next week as this weekend I envisage people turfing unwanted Christmas decor from last year (isn't it funny how much your taste can change in a year).

Pink cockatoo on a plate {Weekend Thrifting}

How fun is this Pink Cockatoo plate I found at a local thrift store, I think it looks pretty neat hanging in the entryway to our apartment (Takes a little focus of the intercom system).

 It seams very Black & Spiro inspired

The Thrifted haul!

You find some amazing things when you are not looking for anything in particular.

Did you manage to do any thrifting over the weekend?

Grey + Pink + Cream {Home Tour}

I have not shared a Home tour for a while, seeing as I have not been able to get these stunning images out of my head I thought I would make sure these images are firmly planted in yours also. Via:Made by Girl.

Da business centre (cupboards along the wall look great and functional)

 

A little confused Is this room a bar, kitchen or lounge? Love the black walls anyways!

 

The painting in the dining room is dreamy! Grey pink and cream!

 

 

"Hello you" more paintings in the master bedroom similar to the dining room.

Kitchen pendants "Yes"!

 

Okay maybe I am a little confused with the arrangement of four chairs in this room.

Goldilocks's and the Bench...

I have been looking for a bench to sit under the large beach picture I just installed in our living room {Pic below}. Check out Mr Bench Via Concrete and honey, this beauty captures exactly what I had in mind! Not too high, not too long and not too wide {as Goldilocks's says it is just right!}

Ho hum the search continues unless someone has any Ideas where I might find one?

A picture of the area in mind:
