Be cheap yet chic when decorating your space!
YouTube is mostly known for spawning such video hits as “Charlie Bit Me” and “My New Hair Cut,” but it also has great videos featuring detailed, step-by-step instructions for completing home decor projects. When I was painting the chevron striped rug I made last fall, I used YouTube as a guide. I’d definitely encourage y’all to check it out whenever you need instruction (or a good laugh).
These are some of my favorite videos…
It’s the weekend…woohoo! What plans do you have? I’m running a 5K in the morning (running at 7:30 am…crazy!) I’m hoping that since I’ll be up so early, I’ll hit some garage sales for some furniture.
Here are some things I’m loving from around the Web…
1. I love this idea of spray painting a wire trash can to use as a side table. The aqua color is fantastic.
2. Last week, I wrote about flea markets. I often find mantles and doors at flea markets and wonder what I can do with them. This is a great tutorial on how to make a mantle into a headboard.
3. I want to run out right now and buy these lucite and brass bar stools.
4. An outdoor bed with chevron curtains? I die.

I have always loved these amazing stripes, but never knew their “official” name. Now, I know and I want to spread the word! You can find these stripes everywhere these days! From walls to pillows to rugs to purses, chevron stripes make everything instantly chic. They update anything (a wall, a door, a rug), taking your space from drab to fab without a lot of money or time spent. These are a couple of decor pieces that incorporate my beloved chevron. In a few weeks, I’ll be teaching y’all how to make your own chevron rug…so get pumped!
