Mirror Mirror On The Wall...Who's Got The Best Bargain Of Them All?...

My friend Kary approached me for recommendations on of how to achieve this wall mirror pictured below for $600, but without spending as much money. Here is what I found....

I visited my local Homegoods www.homegoods.com store to see what kind of bargains that I could find...and boy did I find some goodies!

I found this gem for the low price of $49. You can achieve the above look by simply purchasing 4 of them and hanging them in a square to look like the higher priced option, but at a $400 savings!

This option was a steal at only $22 clearanced out! They had multiple, so you could put 4 together as well for under $100!

Lastly, we have a more rectangular option which you can put 2 side by side to achieve the same effect...and for only $140!

The key to shopping at Homegoods is that you have to snatch up the bargains when you see them, because they won't last and their inventory is constantly changing. If you can only find 3 of the item you need, the store is very willing to call other stores in the chain to track down the 4th one for you to complete the look. So remember, if you are willing to hunt for it, you can save a lot of money!

Spice Up Your Kitchen...In An Organized Manner....

We are a spicey couple, love to cook and love our spices, but needed a storage option that wouldn't consume the limited drawer space that our kitchen has....

Solution: I found these AWESOME magnetic spice holders at World Market www.worldmarket.com and used my label maker to print labels for each of them. We stuck them to the side of our fridge. The containers were $1.99 each and have both sprinkle and heavy dispensing holes.  They are a fun an organized addition to our kitchen!
