Some Fun Finds: Works for me Wednesday

BEFOREAFTER

For the past four and a half years, Todd and I have not really put a whole lot up on the walls except family pictures. Combined with the neutral color of the walls, this made for a maddeningly blah feeling in those areas. Now, in the ideal world, I would have traveled to Spain or Mexico to discover an antique grate or gate just the right size to fit on our wall to help us with the nod to The Southwest we're going for. However, since we don't have any current plans to jump The Puddle to Europe or run for the border, Linens and Things helped me out. Note that the first one was in the taken in the day the other at night so the lighting is a bit different. Reason: Normally I would have immediately got home and put them up myself, but since they were going to need to be very well placed to not be "off" on the vertical or horizontal, I had to wait...sigh...Thankfully Todd is amazingly precise in measuring - I love that about him! I also LOVE sales, and when I can combine discounts even better. I'm sure there are other sites out there that do this, but I stumbled upon RetailMeNot.com that has promotional codes to use online for additional discounts to a ton of stores. So after 70% off, two sets of these were quite reasonable! THAT works for me!
One area down, and a dining room wall to go...
