Welcome to our new series, where some of my blogging buddies and I show you how we decorate a new space without spending a dime. We will each choose a space in our homes and show you, over the next three months, three different ways to decorate it using only items that we already own.
As soon as I took my Christmas decor down, my first instinct was to go out and buy some new goodies to decorate with. My hubby and I had made a pact, starting at the first of the year, that we were going to get rid of a bit of credit card debt that we had accumulated ASAP, so now that the debt diet has begun, my little trips to find new goodies have come to a halt.
At first I was frustrated … who wants to live in a house that doesn’t look nice?
So I decided to shop my own home for some new decor.
The space that I chose to decorate was my antique buffet. I put up a valentines day banner that I had bought from Magnolia Polka Dots, along with some pink trees that I found at a yard sale.
The little silhouette came from another yard sale I stumbled upon last summer.
My window above the buffet was my Christmas present from my hubby.
My bust came from the clearance aisle from a craft store last year, and to spruce her up I added a flower behind her ear.
The vintage camera came from an estate sale last year, and I pulled my old corbel out from the basement.
My mercury glass vase came from Michael’s two years ago, and the flowers were from Dollar Tree last year.
I was pretty pleased that I came up with a Valentine’s Day themed buffet without spending a dime!

Thanks Debbie! Will do!
It’s gorgeous, Shanna! Your beautiful buffet is the perfect backdrop for all the pink. I’m like you, my first instinct is always to go buy something to freshen up a tired space, so this will be interesting for me too. 🙂
Thanks my dear! We can lean on each other through this challenge!
BEAUTIFUL!! I love this! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you my friend!
We decided to do the same thing…not spend any money outside our budget which has been hard. You did a great job on decorating! Love it!
Thank you my dear! It’s no fun being frugal but we will be happy when that credit card is paid off!
This is a beautiful way to remain a good steward of things we already possess! I love this idea, and I think you did a wonderful job. Happy Wednesday, Shanna 🙂
What a fun idea and way to be thrifty! I find I often spend when I could use what I’ve already got. I’ll have to think about this. Your post is inspiring.
Thank you so much Amanda! Did you join our FB decorating forum? If not you should so we can all do this together!
Love the colors and textures of your arrangement! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Brittany!
It looks super! Perfectly styled and such fun colors, too.
