Well today I went to the Restore! For those of you who don't know the Restore is a thrift store but it doesn't have an clothes only home items. They have everything from tubs, cabinets, light fixtures and so much more. While I was there I found some awesome things for some future projects and the house. The Restore had this amazing brushed nickel chandelier for only $5.00!!!! This is such an amazing deal and its the perfect finish. All the other metals in in the living room and entry way are silver. I have also been looking for something to replace the fan that is hanging in the entry way right now. We just never use this fan and I really want something that looks better and come on you can't beat the price! The other item I got today was a gaint lazy susan. Now I know you are probably thinking why do I need a giant lazy susan. Two words: Round Mirror. I don't know about you but I have noticed an trend in home decor with round mirrors. I personally really love this trend but I don't love the prices of most of them. My favorite is West Elms but their prices are way more than I want to spend since its $249. I want a round mirror in my bedroom I'm redoing but my goal is $150 for the whole makeover so I can't afford that mirror. So this is were the lazy susan comes in. I have been searching for large round things everywhere I go my ideas had been to use cardboard, rubber, plastic, wood or metal. All the materials were good ideas but hard to find in a large rim for under $15. So when I saw this at the Restore I freaked out! To make it even better this lazy susan was only $5! The lazy susan is so large because it is made for the corner cabinets in kitchens. It is the perfect size and price! My plan is to paint it a gold color and glue a large round mirror onto it. I'm so excited with theses finds and can't wait to show you what I do with them. Stay tuned for these project coming soon!
