Gettin' Busy In The Guest Bedroom

I added a clock. Swanky. And I also added a little "graphic" to the frame on the top shelf. It used to just be a couple of layers of patterned card stock. But a few months ago when I ordered a couple of photo books from Snapfish, the interior flap had a little circle with blue print that read, "Happiness Within." Um, yes please. haha So I carefully cut out that little circle and stared at it for a few days before it dawned on me where I could use it. You can't tell much about it in this shot, though, so maybe I'll remember to get a close-up of it sometime.

Ignore the junk on the left. I can't figure out where to store the old twin sized down comforter. It's too puffy to fold successfully. :-/

I made a starburst mirror out of dowel rods, skewers, and chopsticks. Oh, and an auto mirror and cardboard. It was terribly complicated. ;-)

The tutorial. You know. In case you want it. 

I posted a photo of the mirror on FB and someone commented that it was very retro. I thought starburst mirrors were pretty current and trendy. But I suppose they may have been trendy back in the day, too? I dunno.

Bee tee dubs, the clock was free. Mama got it in a discount grab "bag" (It's actually a buggy instead of a bag) along with some other junk and didn't need it so I snagged it. 

The mirror was a $5 project. Wait, no. $8. I forgot the spray paint. :-D

I've got some other projects I want to do for other rooms but trying to be frugal after the past month's buying binge on my credit card. No, really. I went nuts and kinda want to whip myself for being so careless. But stress makes me do weird things. Like spend money and eat "bad" things. 

Bleh.
