<\/a><\/div>\nThe shelves were given to me from my mom, meaning they were free for me.\u00a0 She had them already and never used them!\u00a0 The theme of my kitchen\/ dining room is wine and coffee.\u00a0 This wasn’t a planned theme, it’s just based on things I’ve accumulated\/ things that were given to me.\u00a0 I love it though!\u00a0 Here’s a breakdown of each shelf:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThe wine glass is from a wine tasting event put on by a club I was in during my senior year of college.\u00a0 The bottle of wine is a commemorative bottle of red wine from “The Last Taste,” an event that I attended (and helped plan through another club I was in) on my graduation day.\u00a0 The grapes I already had from a long time ago, and the coaster I found at Goodwill for 99 cents.<\/p>\n
I hung this little “Tuscan Olive Oil” picture above the center shelf.\u00a0 It was handed down to me from my mom.\u00a0 Lucky for me, I have a mother who likes to update her kitchen from time to time; meaning I get to capitalize on the things she gets rid of!\u00a0 On the shelf, I made a black and white canvas simply by purchasing a blank canvas from the Kraft Warehouse along with a small sheet of fabric I liked.\u00a0 I then cut the piece of fabric down and stabled it to the back of the canvas.\u00a0 Very easy and fast!\u00a0 The wine glass was a gift from my best friend.\u00a0 It’s a Breakfast at Tiffany’s wine glass, so I had<\/em> to use\u00a0it for decorating rather than its actual purpose\u00a0(since I adore Breakfast at Tiffany’s.)\u00a0 I put leftover gems and fake diamonds from my bridal shower inside the glass, as well as a tea light.<\/p>\n The smallest shelf is the simplest.\u00a0 The small white vase was 99 cents from Ikea.\u00a0 I had made a bunch of “flower pens” by taping a sunflower to a pen, and I just stuck one of the pens inside the vase.\u00a0 So, the white flower shown can also be used for writing. :)\u00a0 The glass\u00a0vase was from the\u00a0dollar tree, as well as the white stones inside of it.\u00a0 I placed a tea light inside as well.\u00a0 Very\u00a0simple and very\u00a0inexpensive.<\/p>\n Next I’m going to share a little project I used for my drop-down cupboards.\u00a0 (Drop-down cupboards were a must, and I had a blast deciding how to decorate them.)\u00a0 Here’s one section of the cupboards:<\/p>\n This idea was not planned.\u00a0 I was browsing at Goodwill with my mom, when we came across this four pack of silver cups that were still in\u00a0the box.\u00a0 We immediately thought they were adorable, and snatched them up for only $1.99.\u00a0 We went to the Dollar Tree next to find some flowers to put inside.\u00a0 I stuck to yellows and whites because it was summer at the time, but I am thinking about swapping them with red flowers for the holiday season.\u00a0 I love how they turned out!<\/p>\n Here is my favorite part of my drop-down cupboards!\u00a0 The two coffee “art-works” were hand-me-downs from my mom’s kitchen.\u00a0 The “cafe” lettering was a gift from my mom.\u00a0 The champagne flutes were left over from my bridal shower, and the little\u00a0champagne buckets I will break down below.<\/p>\n I love<\/em> these little champagne buckets.\u00a0 I found two of these little silver buckets at Goodwill for 99 cents each.\u00a0 You can’t tell very well from the picture, but they have grapes on them.\u00a0 I knew they would be perfect for something, I just had to brainstorm!\u00a0 From then I decided that I could put mini champagne bottles in them and make cute little champagne buckets!\u00a0 How adorable.\u00a0 <\/em>The little grape hand towel was an awesome touch I found at the Dollar Tree.\u00a0 They came in a two pack, which was perfect.\u00a0 One for each bucket!\u00a0 And finally, the mini bottles of champagne I was able to purchase in a four-pack.\u00a0 I used an old hand-towel inside the bucket to position the bottles perfectly, and voila!\u00a0 They are just the touch I wanted for my cupboards!<\/p>\n These are just a few home decorating ideas I’ve used in my own home that are very inexpensive.\u00a0 Getting creative with things I’ve found at Goodwill and the Dollar Tree, plus using what I had already or what was given to me, I have been able to decorate on a budget.\u00a0 More ideas to come!<\/p>\n Today I’ve decided to share\u00a0a few decorating ideas that I’ve used for my own kitchen and dining room.\u00a0 I’m all about decorating on a budget, especially using what I already have or what has been given to me.\u00a0 I’m going to start with the main focus of my dining room wall.\u00a0 (My dining room is… [Read
