Thrifty Spring Decor

Over the last couple of months I've been showing you pieces of my spring decor.  I thought you might like to see how it all came together.  Many of the pieces were either on sale, thrift finds, from the dollar store, or something that I already had. My total cost--$40!

Candle Stick (no link)

$2 Good Will find, spray painted dark brown and distressed.  In the picture there is wire wrapped around the candle.   The wire seemed like a good idea at the time, but blended in with the wreath so I've taken it off.  I might try wrapping wire around another candle sometime though. 

 

 

Spring Plate

Dollar store plate and stand.  Total cost (including the vinyl) $3.

Spring Wreath

$9 Wreath (with coupon) and dollar store flowers.  Total cost: $12

(Paint Stick) Crate

Made with paint sticks for under $4.  Greenery was $10 total (buy one, get one free).

Bird's Nest

Thrift store silver dish, dollar store nest, and clearance bird, total cost:  $3.50.  I wrapped burlap around the books to cover the shiny gold titles.  There's a trend (which I like) to rip the covers off of the books, but since they are books that I read, I'm gonna leave the covers alone.

 

 

 

 

 Framed Shelf

The shelf was a .75 thrift store find that I painted white.
I already had the frame and the lantern.

(Paint Stick) Window

Made with paint sticks, trim I had, and glass from a dollar store frame.  Total cost: $1

 

Black Shelf

 $2.50 Garage sale find that I painted.

I'm already making some fun changes to it for Easter and can't wait to show you!
