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.

I got that same shelf but in white – so perfect for my college apartment. I love all the gold accessories. And those chairs! I need to find some good accent chairs that don't set me back a month's worth of groceries…
Thanks again for featuring me Hannah! It was so fun being a part of your awesome series! The feature came out great!
