Ladies and Gentlemen
(let's be honest-there are no gentlemen reading this blog)
I have some rather exciting news...
My BEDROOM REVAMP has finally started. I start painting tomorrow! (and I still have to finalize my color choices) but I took a shopping trip to St. George on Saturday and bought a bunch of new stuff to make my room exactly the way i've been imagining it. And I simply cannot wait to show. You. Everything. I knew I wanted a flower arrangement. After helping out at the flower shop over prom/mothers day weekend, I fell in love with Ranunculus. I had this idea to bring either those or Peonies into a full arrangement with a simple glass vase. I headed to Michaels and there found everything I needed to do so. After searching around for the type of flowers I wanted, I found out that fake flowers are dang expensive. bummer. So I started walking through all the aisles, which led me to the sale corner. There I found some very full Magnolias that fit the job just as well as Ranunculus or Peonies ever would.
End Result:
The Breakdown:
Magnolias- 50% off sale, $6.00
Glass vase- $3.99
Seashells- Found in my closet
Rocks- Product of mother nature
So if you aren't fantastic at math, i'll go ahead and tell you that I made this entire arrangement for 10 dollars. Definitely on my budget!

*I'm a reader of fashion blogs...I love when they breakdown their outfits and tell their readers how much each item was and where they purchased it. So as a poor/ interior design student/ on a tight budget, I will be doing the same...but design style. Holla!
Follow my every move at trying to afford a Bedroom Revamp. Next update...Paint colors! Woooo! (are you as excited about this as I am?!)
P.S. i'm on a very serious hunt for a burnt orange round throw pillow. I've exhausted my online resources because I only want to pay like 10 bucks or so for it. I saw the perfect on at Ross a few weeks ago...before I had this awesome plan in mind, on Saturday it was gone. (I don't blame the person who bought it, it was plain awesome)...so my question to you- where the heck could I possibly ever find another? :)
