$50 Hallway Challenge Complete!

If you've been following our $50 Hallway challenge you'll be happy to hear we've finally finished. If you haven't been following our $50 Hallway Challenge, you can catch it here and here. But to make a long story short, Lee bought me the console for Valentine's Day, and I was determined to finish off the hallway for less then $50!
I'll let you in on the final total at the end:
Here she is all dressed up. Because it was our upstairs hallway, I felt like I could go a little funkier! It didn't have to be soooo formal. only Lee, me and you guys will be seeing it.

I used a ladder as a blanket rack. I thought it would be nice to grab a throw on the way to bed on a particularly cold night. Or an overnight guest could grab one if they were cold. I'm hoping to make a few more quilts and display them on the ladder :) Easy to grab (FUNCTIONAL) and pretty quilts (FASHIONABLE).
The mirror is our old mirror from our old Dining room.

The frames are from Ikea, some we had, some we bought. All the artwork was bought for us from one very special friend who knows my taste and totally gets Lee's sense of humor.  If you'd like to know where specific prints came from shoot me an email and I'll forward it to her!
The hedgehog clock at the top is my very favorite little find. At $12 I couldn't resist picking it up! If you'd like one of you're very own, you can find it at the Real Canadian Superstore.
The plant is a rubber plant, super duper air purifier!
You might remember the little yellow tulip bouquet from our flowers on friday. He found his way up into the hallway, and I trapped him in a cage!!! :)

If you're looking to trap a bouquet of tulips for yourself you could pick up a cage like this one from Homesense.

So the final total:
We had to buy one of the larger Ikea Ribba frames at $12.99 (the other ones were leftover from our old dining room)
We had to buy one of the smaller Ikea Ribbea frames at $8.99

So I didn't make it :( Saddest face ever! I was really surprised I totally thought I was on track but it just kept adding up. Even with us having so many pieces already I still went over.
