3D Wallpaper in the master bedroom!

3D wallpaper. Sounds like something from the future circa 1962.

Our bedroom wall was boring. In the middle is a flat screen tv, soundbar, and fireplace. After we moved the large mirror to another wall, you could see a few obnoxious holes from screws and putting something else up there would make the wall look busy... but without the mirror, it looked blank. Unbalanced.

The mirror got moved. Now it's ugly over here.

What to do?

I've been trolling these neat stone and wood look wallpapers on Aliexpress for a while now, so guess what.

We bought a couple of rolls, some paste, and away we went.

I'm really impressed by how realistic this paper looks on the wall. This entire project cost about $50 including paste, new blades and a lovely smoothing squeegee.

We bought the lightest color they had, but they do sell darker shades as well!

Dollar Tree Kitchen Cabinet Ribbon-Hung Christmas Bows!

These came together super fast! The bows were $1 each, and 9 feet of ribbon was $1. I had Velcro and Scotch tape lying around.

So bright and festive!

I purchased the large bows with the green and red stripes. They also had red velvet and red glitter in the large bows.

I snipped off 1 foot of ribbon (2.5 inch wired variety) per bow, attached it at the back with a square of Velcro, then Scotch taped the ribbon to the back of the cabinet doors.

Total cost per bow: $1.11!

Subway Style Christmas Art!

Merry Christmas, folks!

I've been concentrating on the holidays - so I haven't been jumping into any projects too big. I plan to make a new years resolution list, honey-do style (don't worry, I'm 50% of the honey :D )

I did have time for this super fast project though. Check out the finished product:

 The best part is they cost me about $.83 each to make!

Christmas at the Cape!

We kind of got sidetracked during Halloween, and then to boot, it rained and was miserable. I ended up in tears (most of my "help" had to cancel) and it was just one thing after another. I'm thankful a couple cooler heads prevailed and at least we could sort of pull it off. If we do it again next year, we're thinking of putting it all in the garage.

Maybe.

Anyway, I was ready to be past Halloween this year. I wanted to dive into the Christmas stuff!

We don't have a whole lot, so we purchased two trees and a few lights strings this year. We're po' folk so we're going to get our Christmas on as cheaply as possible. Here's a couple of those inexpensive Christmas decor ideas that just so happen to look cheery as possible in Jen and Guy's Little Cape.

Dollar store gold ornaments in dollar store glass.

Notice the art? I'll be tutorializing these at ChristmasinOhio soon.

These are my normal throw pillows with pillowcases from Dollar Tree. Yes, $1 each!

Dollar Tree has a section of silver and gold this year. These guys look very pretty on the mantle with their ornament strings removed, don't you think?

Marc's Halloween Haul

When I was a child and a teenager I hated Marc's.

Marc's is a discount drugstore-and-grocery chain, with stores in northern and central Ohio.[1] It is owned by Clevelander Marc Glassman, who also owns Xpect Discounts, a four-store chain in western Connecticut.

Now I find myself trying to see what new general merchandise is there every week. I love it!

This is a crosspost from my Halloween blog, http://www.euclidboo.com/wordpress.

Here is a couple of neat things we got for super cheap at the Shoregate Marc's.

Kmart Beware! Go Away! Skulls with Glitter

Got it for $1.99!

Target Toss Pillow Skulls… LOVE these. They also had a larger pillow with ghosts.
