Wow...I gotta tell ya, I am having so much fun with Frugalicious Friday! And from the awesome 29 posts that were linked up last week...I'd say everyone participating is too! This is such a fun day all about $aving, being creative and just thinkin' outside the box...love that! Here are a few of my favorite fabulous finds!
Loulou at her blog The Life of Loulou created a beautiful monogrammed wall hanging using a vinyl monogram that she bought for $25. But instead of placing this monogram right on the wall, she painted a thrift store frame, placed burlap inside the frame, and then placed the vinyl letters on top of the glass of the frame! Okay, that was the biggest run-on sentence, but the point is I totally love this idea! And look what a beautiful focal point this frame makes above her bed. This is just such a fabulous idea!
And Jen from Mimi Bella Boo linked up her fabulous curbside find! Yup, believe it or not, she found this armoire on the curb in her own neighborhood...how lucky is she? I believe in it's previous life (down the street) this piece was a computer desk. I love how Jen reconfigured the shelving to maximize storage for her daughter's bedroom. She didn't even need to re-paint...that shabby chic paint finish is all natural! I love this fabulous find, it's functional n' stylish...just perfect for her little girl's room!
Finally, Cathy from The Stylish House spotted this idea on HGTV's Rate My Space and immediately added it to her design file. This is Frosted Window Film and is sold for around $20 at Home Depot and Lowe's. What a great idea for giving builder grade sliding mirrored doors a high end look. Take a look at this before and after picture...these doors went from tacky to chic in probably a matter of minutes! Now that's one fabulous product.
So that's a wrap! With 29 participants...Frugalicious Friday last week was a big success! If you participated...as always thanks for the linky love! And if you haven't linked up yet, Friday will be here before you know it! So link up, show us how you $ave...we want to see your fabulous finds!

Lou Cinda :)
What great ideas- love the colors in that bedroom!
Kathy, I know...I just love this idea too! I love how she took the vinyl monogram, which isn't real prominent in size. Then adding the frame made it larger in scale...perfect for the focal point above the bed.
Lou Cinda, not to worry. Blogging is time consuming. I tell ya...I spent my week-end a the baseball fields, and as a result, I have no post for Metamorphasis Monday or even Diy Day. Ugh...I think I'm having withdrawals! Well, I'll be ready for Friday's Frugalicious Friday though! Promise, my wheels are already spinning.
You girls are making me blush! Thanks for the sweet words. I will admit that I still catch my breath everytime I walk in my bedroom and see my framed monogram. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have a couple of good posts coming up. I gave myself a $100 3 hour challenge to totally redo my bathroom (including shopping). I did it, and it's gorgeous.....I love your blog and really appreciate the shout out!
hugs!
I'm giving one of these decals away on my blog....Head on over to my blog for a visit...
I got here thru LouCinda's blog. Love the quilt she won.
Funny, I should find your blog today as my twin and I also sell vinyl lettering on Etsy. Love what she did with the monogram.
I must do the frosted treatment to my hideous mirrored closets!
