Thrifty Thursday.....Recycle Barn Material

  This week I will feature another Recycle Barn material.  From the same Barn that my husband took down, I saved some window Frames.  The glass was all broken but the window frame was intact.  


Back in 2005 we took a family Trip to Deadwood South Dakota and I talked my family into the Saloon Family Picture.  I of course had to purchase all the pictures because you can't let them stay there for others to view.  


I was never quit sure how I would frame these pictures and then all of a sudden it came to me.  


I used some vintage scrap book paper and cut it to the size the window pains.  Then I cut some foam core to use as a mounting or backing board.  I glued the scrapbook paper to the foam core and then glued the pictures to the paper.  


Take a look at the results. I think it is quite AWESOME!

Thrifty Thursday.....Recycled Barn Boards

This weeks I wanted to show you something that I am very proud of and that I did myself.  My husband took down a barn and we saved the wood.  I knew that I wanted to do something with it but was not quit sure what. 

Well one Hot June Saturday afternoon it came to me.  Why not put them half way up the wall in the hall.  So I dug out my miter box out went and measured how high I wanted the boards and started to cut.  After I had all the board on the wall I decided to use the trim that was originally used in between the board to cover up the seems as a chair rail.  That took some time.  I had to figure out how to 45 the corners and make them fight right.  Then I trimmed out the doorways to make it all look complete. 

Check it out and tell me what you think.

  

Thrifty Thursday at Bloggeritaville!

Today my find is again from Target.  I think I mentioned in Last Weeks Thrifty Thursday Post that I am the "Target End Cap Clearance Queen" ! Well this weeks find comes from Target again and I think it was just what my Bedroom Needed.


We have lived in our house for over 6 years.  I have not yet unpacked all the box's that housed wall hangings and nicknack's.  There are several reasons why but the one in particular I will tell you about it because I hate our Bedroom.  


In our last house we remodel the bedroom around a new bed.  We build a pine closet with double pane panels, Queen Ann molding, beautiful burgundy wall and Green carpet.  The new bedroom is ugly and we didn't and still don't have enough money to remodel it.  


Last weeks finds inspired me to finish some wall art I had been working on and hang some pictures up in the bedroom to make it look like we at least live here and feel more at home.  

So here is the the group of frames that I got.  

Each I found on clearance for $6.24!  Yes I said Six Dollars and Twenty Four Cents!  

I think they really look nice.  They add a bit of me and my hubby to our room and it really makes it look like we live here.

Here are pictures of them individually.  I think the Black and White photos really added to them.

This one has Brown Tone or Sepia pictures

So what did you find this week that was Thrifty Thursday worthy?
