We put up some blinds and hung up 2 decorative bronze metal stars on the walls.
See my $10 lamp from Garden Ridge? It has a bronze star base - I just love it!
At the stair landing, I hung up a Black-capped chickadee print my mother passed along to me.
I picked up these 2 painted ducks at a flea market and put them on top of our fireplace. Got the pair for only $5! What bargain places do you like to shop at to decorate your home?

I'm not a personal fan (because I usually never have luck there), but I know a lot of folks like to try Building 19. Happy decorating!
It's looking good! Thanks for sending the snow faries my way. I really enjoyed seeing the snow!
I shop at flea markets, antique malls, thrift stores and I love going to auctions.
Hugs,

Hi Shell, I love the star theme in your loft. You are doing such a great job fixing the log cabin up.. I LOVE it.
Hugs,
Betsy
very nice! i like the bed colors, i find that color so soothing.
for me, I dont really have a favorite place, but I do like Marshalls, Home Goods, Steinmart and Kirklands.
Shelley,
I really like that fleur-de-lis clock! Somehow, the squiggly legs make it look like it's alive -- like it's about to walk away on its own accord (after giving you the time, of course).
There are ton of antique/collectible places in my area. I usually go to any one of them when looking for decorative pieces or odds and ends.

Those stars look like you have a Texas theme going on there! Woo-Hoo!
I enjoy the antique stores, always on the prowl for antique glassware or dishware at a great pice!

Shelley,
Well you probably know how much I love your stars! I have a "thing" for stars...I can't get enough of them! Love the ducks too! They all fit right into your log cabin beautifully!
My favorite bargain places...let's see Goodwill, and other thrift stores and I do love my Gordmans and Hobby Lobby for a good deal too!
Tammy
I absolutely LOVE all!
I love shopping at thrift shops... you can end up with having gorgeous things others discarded for a song!
I also meant to say I'm hosting a giveaway!
Monicax.
Yes, I love it!
I was always a flea market shopper. I especially enjoyed depression era china and glass. I looks like your loft will be a cozy retreat!
Just keeps getting prettier all the time! I have had such good luck finding things at Hobby Lobby when they have their clearance sales. I can't keep away from that place!
it's looking great!
Hey Shelly, I just had an idea for your cabin,,well just a thought. I actually dreamed it--lol. Your little steps would like so great with those braided runners or stair pads on them. Have you ever seen those?
Lovely as always *****
I like to shop where they have those signs that say- SALE.
hey shelley!! it looks amazing! yea. I can't even think of the last time I acually had to buy anything for the house. I seem to inherit all sorts of wonderful things from my parents, sean's parents, we have alot of stuff from all of our grandparents. Recently my niece wanted new bedding, curtains, etc... so Lizzie inherited it and it is like brand new. I am lucky I suppose.
Morning Shelley ~~ Love the cozy look of sleeping under the eves,your guests are very lucky indeed.
I haven't been shopping in so long I have no idea where to get any bargains. lol
Fortunately I don't need anything ...except maybe the shopping experience itself...I do have a small case of Cabin Fever. :)
Hugs ~ Connie xox
It's been so long since I've visited...looks like I've missed a lot, everything you do is so very nice, you sure know how to make a house a home
Everything is looking so nice!
I love to shop for thrifty bargains at the thrift store, garage sales and my all time favorite Goodwill.
Have a great day, Denise
Shelley,
It's looking great! I love the starts and the lamp! We went flea market shopping last week.
Hugs,
Cathie
Love what your doing. How about some of your beautiful photos enlarged. I think that would be perfect and have real meaning for you. Sharon
Love those painted ducks! Everything looks great.
Maryann
Love it, Shelley! Everything looks great.
So I'm wonderin', WANT COMPANY???! :)
It just looks so peaceful!
Enjoy your evening.
Hugs-Kath
I like that light hanging above your stairs too!
Things are looking great. Seems like you are having fun too (o: Have you been keeping up with the decorating of the Lodge at thepioneerwoman.com It is fun to watch, but defiantly out of my category.
Hi Shelley,
Everything looks so nice. I make the rounds when I decide to do a little decorating and go to all of the stores in my area. I wouldn't recomend it though. By the time I look at everything and decide I wanted something I saw in the frist store it's usually gone LOL
Cam - never heard of building 19 - but sounds interesting!
Penny - I already knew that you would know all the best places! You always have the nicest things in your home!

Michele - I need a family like yours! How generous! Wait - I just remembered that my dad gave me my grandfathers' dining set for the cabin. Okay - they're off the hook.
Kady - sometimes I take a nap in the loft cuz I love lying back to look at the logs and i like the coziness of the eaves like you mentioned.
Hi mary Helen! Nice to see you! I'll be over to visit too!!
Denise - I need to find a goodwill shop too - I forget that you can find treasures there as well!!
Hi cathie - I bet you picked up some great items!

Brat Pack - those ducks were calling my name! :)
Kath - yes - I always want company! The rule is - you have to bring me either cookies or pies...
Grammy - I have been to her site but I didn't check out the lodge until you just mentioned it now. Wow - massive and beautiful! I think my whole cabin can fit just in that one room - lol!
Charli - I do the "maybe later" thing too! lol!
Looks great! What deals you got too. Good job!! Hugs,Bobbi Jo
I love your cabin... Its looking great!!
I think that you should be careful in showing all of us your newly decorated loft/guest room. You could be receiving lots of visitors. It looks so cozy, and so perfectly decorated for a log cabin. I really like the picture from your mother, in the stairway. You definitely have a gift for decorating. It looks so nice!
Your house looks really lovely. That wood looks so warm and cosy.
It looks so nice Shelley. And you did find some bargains, didn't you? I love them.
Hi! First time here... just wanted to tell you I'm enjoying reading about your cabin. We built an 800 sq ft cabin in Colorado last summer... ours is very rustic... furnishings are hand-me-downs, antique/thrift store finds, and even a few things picked up off curbs!
