Okay! So I went out this morning at about 5:30am, picked up breakfast and went to check out some yard sales. I am redecorating the apartment to give it more of an "Alena" feel. Granted my apartment wasn't so bad before, I just want to get creative and give it more of a calming/vintage/enchanted touch. I can't exactly explain what look I am going for because I am so bad with explanations, however, perhaps you shall journey on with me in this adventure of treasure hunting, crafting and refurbishing.
Some of you wanted to see what I came home with today, and let me just say...I LOVE what I found!
I spent less than $100 for all these goodies!!!

 |
| an adorable little shelf for my figurines...and $2!!!! |
 |
| The cabinet will be repainted. It's a dark green right now. This piece was $35. It has a cabinet on the bottom with 2 shelves. |
 |
| This piece was soooo heavy. The mirror is just gorgeous. This too will get refurbished. It's probably about 3.5-4 feet tall...$20 |
 |
| This too was $20 and is a gem. I do not plan to do anything to this one except hang it... |
 |
| the carvings are too beautiful to ruin!!! |

There is much more work to be done, but I should have some of it taken care of by tomorrow, so be sure to come back and check it out! Yard sales really are amazing...like they say "early bird gets the worm". So what are you waiting for?
