Free, Free

{we've been living on a relatively snug budget lately, but even though, I'd go crazy if I couldn't keep making house, decorating and nesting. so that means it's all about getting creative! here's a few ways I've snuck some cute and perfect decor into the house at no cost to me!}
:: my mom brought us back a sack of coffee from Jamacia last year and I stuffed the burlap bag with macaroni noodles and it fits just perfect in my window}

{these orange containers are actually burnt out candles that I filled with decorative wicker balls that I had lying around}

{I love these. Found them in my mom's basement and they hang over my kitchen window, keeping the"Dutch" in my house (there are three but the third photo won't show up)}

{this was also a mom's house steal. I had to take it apart and give it a good clean but I love the vintage frame and having it in my living area}
Photobucket
{guilty again. this way my parents camping toaster and I think they bought it before I was born. I scrubbed and polished and it ornaments the shelf above my cupboards}
