befores and afters

While this "before" picture has the unfair advantage of already being cute and accessorized quite nicely, you have to realize I got this for $22 ( after a 30% discount!) and I am too cheap to spend a lot of money. It's bargain hunting for me, baby! But I might have to make my own letter blocks!

This is the rough draft "after" picture. I am still hunting thru totes so the end result will probably be a bit different but...
I have my blue bottles from Spain.
my black frame that is barely holding on.
Some antique books from El Rastro in Spain.
My favorite $2 chair from Goodwill.

and fresh flowers- It's a must!
