What can a gal do with a coupla bucks and a little free time on her hands?  Well if you're creative and love to make cheap things that look expensive you can do a lot!  Went to the dollar store and picked up a few items and went to town!

Don't you just love this 3 tierd snack display 4th of July stand?  Me too and it cost me 5 dollars and about 2 minutes to put together.  Very festive and very frugal!  I'm a little obsessed with the dollar store lately!

My most very favorite transformation ever.  Why?  Because I thought this one out for a while ( well 48hrs ) which is a VERY long time for me to think about something before doing it.  Just ask anyone who knows me.  So I bought this at a garage sale.  The price tag said 45.00 and I thought to myself -Self no way, this has to be wrong, this is worth much much more than this.. So I asked the seller if it was really 45$ and he gleefully says to me, well it's 30$ if you want it.  WHA ?????  Heck yes I wanted it (in my Napolean Dynamite voice)  So we brought her home and I started to search online mostly at www.betterafter.blogspot.com for some hutch/dresser/vanity ideas.  I found one that I loved and then another and then I sort of combined the idea.  I dressed her up as if she were in a dining room or kitchen as well as a bedroom.  Hope you like it as much as I do!
