Rooms on a Budget: GlamourMash

Hey guys!  I'm so excited to share another Room on a Budget with you today, coming straight to you from Holly of GlamourMash!  She's insanely cool, and like I said Monday... go show her love.  Take it away Holly!

Good morning my sweets! Holly Foxen Wells from GlamourMash here and I am waaaay excited to be sharing my "Room on A Budget" with you today! Hannah is my budgeting soul sister from another mister, so I jumped at the chance to guest post on her blog today! 

Alright, let’s get down to business. Like Hannah, I like to splurge… but only on steals! Present me a sale, a knock off or a DIY and I will be sure to make it work! Today, I am sharing my favorite space in my home, the entryway. This space is the first thing you see when you walk in the door so I wanted it to be bold, chic and cozy all at at the same time. 

The centerpiece of the entry is definitely the fabulous piece of artwork by Alex Couwenberg. My sister loaned it to me when she ran out of room in her own home so here's to hoping I get to keep it for a bit. Score! The gorgeous chairs on either side of the bookcase are family heirlooms from my boyfriend's family. Clint's mom was cleaning out her garage and couldn't bare to give them away so we happily took them off her hands and stained them a dark brown shade last summer. 

The basic Ikea Bookshelf is lovingly adorned with a makeshift bar serving area... stocked with only the finest (not really) bourbons and whiskeys! I got the serving tray on sale from Z Gallerie for a whopping $12 big ones! The champagne flutes are Z Gallerie knock offs that I picked up at Home Goods for $7 each. 

I have several DIYs scattered about including my "Love" glitter DIY and "I Drink It Up" glitter DIY (it's my boyfriend's favorite movie quote... weird, yes, I know... ha). I bought the mini balloon animals from Urban Outfitters on sale for $.99 cents each and spray painted them a metallic gold. They're a fun and quirky little addition to the space.

You might also notice the brass sea urchin DIY that I created with popsicle sticks, play-doh and gold spray paint... no joke. I could have borrowed these materials from a 5 year old but it came out looking fierce! 

The faux sheepskin throw is a from Ikea and cost me an impressive $25. Can I get a "what what!" And the pillows and blue foo dog are from good ole' Home Goods and cost me $15 each.  

Thanks so much for touring my room on a budget! Be sure to stop by GlamourMash Blog and The GlamourMash Shop for some more fun and inspirational budgeting ideas and pieces! Thanks again Hannah for having me!

I mean... could you die over those balloon animals?!  Too cute for words.  Thanks again Holly!
