Anthropologie on a Budget

The beauty of moving in with a boyfriend is that he already has the place furnished. No need to go out and purchase furniture or appliances... It's all right there! Now here's the catch: the decor isn't so appealing. From countless pictures of horse "wall art", to the Tommy Bahama themed bathroom (with matching palm tree curtain hangers, I might add), my beau definitely has his own style :-)

After six months of cohabitation, I realized it was prime time to put my mark on things. My first initiative: Wall Art.

Anthropologie is one of those stores that I walk into, gush over EVERYTHING, then leave empty handed and feeling depressed LOL... Lets just say that I have yet to walk into that blessing where I can make multiple purchases at that store :-)

One of the items I came across were the Zinc Letters. Very cute for any skinny wall in our tiny apartment. But at $18 a piece, they were out of my wallet league.

After I left the mall, I moseyed on down to Hobby Lobby. Thankfully, I found $3 cardboard letters, and brushed Pewter spray paint for $8! With a little elbow grease and a step ladder, I now have my "zinc" letters!
