Decorating via the 'dollar stores'

18 years ago

I have a confession to make. I spent most of last week at the Dollar store, the 99 cent store, the thrift store and every clearance aisle I could find stuff for around a dollar.

So, please check out my new "room"!

Here is a link that might be useful: My new space

    Daisy:

    Nice job in your yard!

    Your blog mentions that you haven't a clue what one of your items is. It holds an ear of corn. We have one in our yard, and the squirrels LOVE it.

    daisy what a fun garden room! You really have an eye for a great whimsical gardent. Love it! the colors are really fun. and I can't decide which i love the most the roosters or the teapot cans.

    Daisy: Thanks for sharing your pics of your dollar store garden fence. My favorite, I think, is the canoe. It looks so fun!

    On a side note, what I've done with my fence is to put some of the cheap wire fencing material along it and plant trumpet vines. Right now they are in the growth stage, but I'm hoping in a few years it'll really soften the look.

    Daisyadair, you have a good eye for cute things. I think I might have walked right by those things in the store and never noticed them.

    valinsc, I spent this weekend hacking out a huge trumpet vine and all it's offspring. lol

    That is just so cool! I like the teapot watering cans and the roosters ALOT! Now I want a rooster! I have a road runner, now I think I will spray paint him. GREAT JOB!!

    Oh, what wonderful fun that is! I especially love those colorful roosters! Your pics made me grin from ear to ear. Well done!

    Thank you everyone so much for the nice comments!
    Trailrunner, you have a much nicer fence to start with and those planters are lovely.

    Houstonmom, thank you for clearing up that little mystery!

    Yayagal, I have two brown and white ragdoll cats and I'm glad you like them.

    I am going to be filling the space in more as time goes by, and try my hand at planting perennials. If I kill them, I can get rid of the evidence real fast!

    daisy I have planted and planted but the drought has stalled all efforts.You have a really charming space !

    I am goimg to go looking for decorative items with a "new" eye thanks to you ! Have you tried the spray paint for plastics? Someone on Cottage Garden used it on her stacking chairs and they looked so good. I saw it at Lowes and thought it would be great to use. c

    Trailrunner I haven't had a chance to try the spray paints for plastic, but I might try it when some of my 99 cent planters fade out next summer.
