deer tee

Last week I picked up this deer tee at Goodwill for $1.49

I was pretty excited to give it new life- and yesterday I got the chance.

Check it out:

So awesome, right!?!  I'm loving it. Both pillows actually cost about $10 total to make. 

I hope to share a tutorial sometime soon. Wouldn't it be so awesome to make a pillow out of your favorite tee when you can no longer wear it in public. Or, better yet, a pillow out of your favorite clothes your kids have outgrown. 

I don't necessarily love to stitch, but I'm loving the end result. Plus, I watched Clueless while I did it, so it wasn't so bad.  I (sadly) remembered every line of the movie, so I didn't need to look up!

For now, they'll reside on my couch. I'm all about the navy and coral combo. Now, I just have to decide if it'll be my living room our bedroom that gets the makeover. 

 I can hear Faith Hill singing. I hope you're about to enjoy the Superbowl with friends, family, and food! 

I'm at work. boo.  Some of our guests have grilled out and are hanging out in the lobby, though. It'll do!

I had the day off from work today. While there are many projects already on my list, I decided that I needed to start the day with a trip to Goodwill. I gave myself a budget of $10. I came in way below, spending under $4. I got two things that I'm really excited to repurpose. In fact, everything on my list has taken a backseat while I upcylce these treasures.  

I think this bulletin board is just precious. It would even fit into my tacky-chic (as I call it) sunporch decor.

 As lovely as it is, it won't be staying this ways for long. It did inspire me to try'n paint burlap sometime though. 

 I loved the price and the fact that those little tabs mean it won't be too hard to disassemble and repurpose.

I'm still kind of surprised that I found this shirt. It was in a bin full of super random clothes. But when my eyes spotted it, my heart skipped a tiny beat. Ok, that's kind of dramatic. But I'm kind of falling in love with the deer motifs that are showing up again in home decor. 

I can hardly stand it! So perfect. It won't be a t-shirt for much longer. 

And for that price! I'm one lucky girl.
