Garbage Bag Table Runner

My last month's Style at Home magazine featured the home of television personality Karen Bertelsen and I love her place! I especially love that she has a mix of high and low pieces in her home all the way from antique artwork to dollar store finds, which brings me to todays post.

Karen is an avid dollar store junkie, she frequents them a lot and she came up with a brilliant idea to re-purpose a garbage bag from the Dollarama into a table runner. Let me just say that you will be amazed with how awesome it turned out, so much so that it had me planning my next outing to my friendly neighbourhood dollar store tomorrow!

the before

and the after



Great results right! you can find the complete tutorial here

Do you like those 3 beveled glass mirror boxes she has on the table? Yup me too, well she made those as well, check out the tutorial here


I love her entire dining room, for plenty more dollar store finds and amazing commentary and banter head over to Karen's own blog called The Art of Doing Stuff, word to the wise make sure you have a few hours to browse her blog, you won't want to leave...trust me!

This post is brought to you by the letter E

I know I blogged a while back about dollar stores and how much I love them! Well while I have been busy at work on the backyard...trust me the pics will be worth it, it's really coming along! I digress...back to the Dollarama, I found a wood letter "E" for my full name Elizabeth which I thought if painted black would look just darling in my room, either on my dresser in front of my mirror or over by my desk nook...where do you think it looks best?

In the nook

Above the dresser

The "E" before the paint

Dollarama

I just love the dollar store. you can find so many great things, here's what I found at mine:

-some blank greeting cards in silver (you never know when you are going to need them) $1
- 2 jam jars ( for a future project)$2
- 2 ink pads for stamping with my french rubber stamps (stamps were already mine) $2
- some black trimmed labels $1
- 3 packs of blue paper lanterns (for outdoor parties to add whimsy)$3
- a galvanized steel bucket (to hold cold drinks for outdoor parties)$2

Total for the day: $11, not bad at all.
