Bargain shopping for the cabin

I love a good bargain, especially picking up cute items for our log cabin. I've been very fixated on my guest room (really, you'll enjoy being my guest!) and keep picking up odds and ends for it. I have a birds and blooms theme going on.

My recent store favorite has been the Christmas Tree Shop. Don't be fooled by the name - they have great home accents for indoors and outdoors. Take a look at this butterfly hanging I found - only $2.99? Can you believe it?







Here's a view of the guest room. (Really, it is a nice view from there, never mind my car that's parked too close!) That green mason glass candle holder on the table is from the Christmas Tree Shop - price - only $1.99!



Anyways, I'm still working on your room for when you come visit. I saw a cute dresser that has birds and flowers hand painted on it at Home Goods. I also want to pick up a nice headboard. Maybe I should put a wine cellar in there too...what do you think? (I bet a lot of you want to come visit me now!)

Decorating the log cabin

I am slowly getting our loft space decorated at the log cabin. Right now it has a queen bed and a twin bed - perfect for guests. I've been on the hunt for a love seat and chair to create a small sitting area for reading and listening to music. I also added a few other touches around the cabin. Here's my progress so far....


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?
