We're almost there! Day Four of the front room makeover, and I am excited to show you some of my favorite new elements to the room.
This mirror below is a pretty oval shape, and I got it at Big Lots for $5. Yippee! I thought I would give it a coat of (what else?) black paint, but then got it home and actually liked it in gold. So gold it will stay!
My lamp is a $5 garage sale find, with a lampshade that I bought at Joann's and recovered in fabric. Same process as what I did here. And don't you love those big brown polka dots in that fabric? You'll see more of those in the big room reveal tomorrow!
Lastly, the tall table that everything is resting on is a cheapie Target purchase. I bought it when I was fresh out of college and in need of furniture. It started out as a very light blond wood, then spent a few years as green, and finally, black. I've gotten a lot of use out of it!
See you tomorrow for the Big Reveal!

You have me on the edge of my seat...
Can't wait for the big reveal!!
I LOVE the tall lamp and the mirror, what a fab find! I love Big Lots! I actually went to Michael's to try to find one of those nightlight kits that you talked about in your other post, but no such luck! She said they didn't carry them...I was so bummed. However, I still need to try JoAnn's, maybe I'll find one there *fingers crossed*! The polka dot fabric on the lamp re-do is so perfect!
Yippee for the big reveal tomorrow!
Oh I Just love decorating! Looking forward to the big reveal!
I'm likin' what I'm seeing! I was trying to cheat and look in the reflection of the mirror only to find that you did a great job at getting a "non-revealing angle". Bummer. =)
I'm looking forward to the big reveal. With all the little teasers....
I bet it is going to look FAB!
Adore the lamp Carrie!
Oh you have me all jealous...I so need to get tom my rooms. Looking forward to tomorrow!
You've officially got me convinced that I need more lamps in my house. I love the polka dot pattern, and is that something written on the bottom of the lamp?
I'm crazy for polka-dots -that is too cute! :) I know I'm going to love the whole thing...you have great taste!
I came back to let you know you've been tagged. That's what you get for making me wait for this reveal! It's a fun one--I hope you can participate!
That lamp is too cute for words! I also love that you bought that mirror for just $5 and painted it yourself. Those little secrets make things look even better!
Love the lamp fabric. Seriously~ when Jason passes through Denver coming home from a TDY again, I am so having him kidnap you to bring you here to revamp my house girly! And, yes, I'll play with all the kids and entertain them while you make my house pretty!!! How are you feeling by the way? I hope GREAT! Not too much longer! Hugs, Les

Nope, there's nothing written on the lamp, but you might be seeing the gourd that I painted and put the word "autumn" on it. :)
