    More Basement Progress

    I've had some seriously lucky finds at the thrift store lately . . . first there was the coat tree, and now there's a framed watercolor landscape painting for . . . $9.99. Where else can you get a large (over 2 feet wide) watercolor, framed (with paper on the back and everything) for $9.99.
    Of coarse the HUGE bonus being I LOVE IT! I would have paid a lot more for it and I'm seriously so thrilled to have it hanging up in our home.
    I racked my brain trying to figure out a place to put in on our main floor but due to our super open concept floorplan, wall space is severely limited! So into the basement stairwell it went!
    I didn't think I'd like it there as much as I do, but the wood frame matches the wood handrail. Also because I love seeing watercolors up close, and you are definitely UP CLOSE when viewing this one! 
    Hope everyone has a great Weekend!!!! See you back first thing Monday Morning with some new DIY's from our week off!!

      Nice find. The little things help make a space a home.

      What an awesome find! The painting looks gorgeous there in the stair well. And you seriously CANNOT beat that price! Also, the coat tree is amazing in ORB - I've been looking out for one on my thrift store trips too. Hopefully I get 1/2 as lucky as you. Sarah

      That painting looks perfect for that spot! It's amazing how far some well-placed wall decor can go, and stairwells are so often neglected. And the price for that size and frame? Great score!
