Hey friends! I'm a firm believer in mixing high-end home decor with lower-end pieces from Dollar Tree or the Thrift Store. Today I take you around my home and share how I'm using Dollar Tree Items in my home decor and organization. These are some of my favorite ways to use $1 to organize and decorate my space.

My Ikea bookcase has been around since little B was a baby! Its held up well but it gives me place to mix my Dollar Tree finds with other cool pieces like my new clock from the Apollo Box. I'm currently riding the succulent trains and I'm loving it! Succulents give your space color and texture yet still look neutral and kinda modern. 

 

 Bookcase Items:

The Apollo Box is an app that works with vendors from all over the world. They made a platform for people to find cool, funky items and they nailed it! When you browse the app or website, I'm 100% sure you'll see something that sparks some interest. From gifts to decor, they have some many options. The Apollo Box is based out of California, they offer Free Shipping and Easy returns!

They're offering you friends 15%off site wide when you register on the site using code FIND15 

Keeping my salt and pepper in the Dollar Tree magnetic tins makes it easy to access. 

I've loved the cotton blooms for ever, but the price is steep. I made my own DIY using Dollar Tree cotton balls for a cheaper alternative!

3 DOLLAR STORE ROOM DECOR DIYS

Hey Friend! Today's video is all about Dollar Tree diys. If you know me, you know I love me a good DIY project! I share 3 ways to use Dollar store products to make nice room decor pieces. If you've tried any of these projects let me know and share  with me using #sensationalfinds 

If you have joined me on Youtube, please come and join me! We just reached 7k subscribers and it literally makes my life, to be able to connect with so many amazing people. Click here 

This peacock wall art is such a simple diy. If your looking to add to  a gallery wall or just starting out,  this diy is for you! Full directions are in the video. 

How to make the paper flowers: 

• Tissue paper
• Wire
• Florist tape
• Stapler
• Wire cutters
• Scissors
• Dollar Store flowers that have  medium/light green colored stems and leaves – not dark green stems.  You can even use real tree branches

1. Lay 5 layers of tissue paper cut to 8” x 11” on top of each other. Accordion fold

2. Find center and staple. Then wrap a 5” piece of wire around. Round edges with scissors.

3. Carefully begin to spread out each layer of tissue paper to start forming the flower.

4. Fluff so that most of the petals are to one side, unless you want to make pom-pom flowers to hang.

6. I poked the tip into the center of the tissue paper flower and then wrapped the wire around the stem to secure. You could also bend the tip of the fake flower stem to create a hook to wrap the flower and the wire around. I did a few each way. Cover the wire with florist tape.

The flower led lights is the last of the DIY's. This battery operated string of lights can be used just about anywhere in your house. The steps are so simple and I explain in the video.

Apartment Sized Fridge Organization For Under $15 | Dollar Tree Storage Bin

                 Click here to watch on Youtube

Hi Friends! If you haven't watched the video that shows you a detailed look inside of my fridge, go watch it! Theb come back for some more pictures and
chit chat!

we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment! Even though we rent I stillaking your space work for you! For myself that means, decorating and organizing my rental to make it feel a home! I was able to completely makeover our fridge and put in place an efficient organizational sytem for under $15. Not only does it look clean and crisp, but everything is contained, labeled, as has it's place or "home". If your unorganized like me, then giving things a home or a certain spot makes it easy to know where things belong! I'm now more likely to put things back where I got them because nothing else is out if place. Also by prepping the fruits and veggies and putting them in plastic baggies rather then what they come in, it gives your everything in your fridge a uniformed look. I love our snack bin! It makes life easier, rather than using bowls when you want a snack, everything is already washed and ready. Bobby is able to go into the fridge himself see what we have and pick a snack and juice box! The baggies are also from the dollar store and I highly buying them to store your fruits and veggies! I love the look of the clear acrylic fridge organizers, but the price was no beauno! I just so happened to find some at our local Aldi's for under $5! So I picked up egg holder and was off to the Dollar Tree to find the rest! Dollar Tree is a dollar store that sells everything for $1.00. They sell some pretty awesome storage items that I use in the entire house, as well as much much more! The key is going often because they restock things frequentl,y next you really need to look in ever isle and finally if you see something you like or kind of like BUY IT, because good chance it won't be there when you come back!

I'm so proud of how this project turned out! Have you organized your fridge, if so let me know what you use to  organize. Be sure to follow my blog as well as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter . All of those links are at the top of this page! If you like watching videos please go and subscribe to my Youtube Channel channel, because it really would make my day!

So here are some pictures of my completed fridge organization.

Bobby's Toddler Room Tour

       Hi Friends! We moved B to his toddler bed back in December and tried  update his room to incorporate things that he's grown love. I want to start off by saying that we rent a 2 bedroom apartment, our home isn't as big as I want, but I try to make my entire house feel as cozy and home-y as possible. I totally believe, that regardless if you rent or own you should decorate your house! 

If you didn't know by now, B loves Sesame Street. I knew I had to add touches of Sesame Street in his big boy room. 

I painted the closet doors with a chalkboard paint I brought at Lowe's, the area rug is also from Lowe's. The area rug was $20 and is great for my toddlers room, because dirt doesn't easily show up. The picture frames are covered in mustache duct tape, then have letters glued inside. 

We've used the same changing pad since Bobby came home from the hospital, and we're working on getting him potty trained so we don't have to use it anymore! The light is from Ikea and the little bucket is his Easter Basket from this year.

I love the board that we had everyone sign at the baby shower and plan to keep it up until I dye he wants to take it down. The bear to the right was a super sweet gift from his "Queenie", it has his name and birth date.  The bear to the left, was one of the very first gifts I gave to his daddy back when we first started dating 9 years ago (Yikes!).

The car bed is made by KidKraft, it was a gift from my mother-in-law. I found a link to the exact same one here. It was the perfect transition from crib to bed, but I plan on switching him to twin bed in a year or two. The quality is great, my hubby had no problem putting it together even though it had ba-jillion little pieces.

Bedding is from Target.com

Letters are painted from Michael's Craft Store

The toy chest was a gift from my mom, his "Queenie". The brand is Harmony Kids, I found the same one on Amazon (here) if you want more details. For the most part we keep all his toys in the closet or play area, so only a small amount of toys are kept in his bedroom. Whatever toys are kept in his room are kept tucked away, this helps his room look less cluttered.

I did a previous blog post showing how I added all his important newborn items into this shadow box. I like to keep it by the door in his room, it really reminds me how quickly time has passed and to enjoy the present moments.

That's it! I hope this gives you a teeny bit of inspiration or encouragements to go ahead and decorate your rented space. I love to blend new and old with sentimental pieces, that's what we did in our little guys room! Most of the things in his room are inexpensive so if your working on a tighter budget like us do like we did and PAINT! It will change the entire look of a room and really make it feel like home!
