WFMW – Decorating With What You’ve Got
10 Mar
This week Works for Me Wednesday is hosted by Rocks in My Dryer.
My husband is a computer programmer. We have LOTS of spare computer parts.
As I was decluttering my craft closet, I found a tin where I’d hidden some money and forgotten all about it. With $30, I went to Michael’s to look for shadow boxes. I figured they’d probably be a lot more than that, so I’d more than likely have to wait until David got another job to get them.
Guess what? They had solid wood shadow boxes on clearance for $10 each! I got three of them.
This is what David and I created. Decorations for his home office.
Some of the pieces were attached to the backing with double sided tape and some were bolted.
I love using what you’ve got to decorate without spending much money. You could use this idea with interesting books or music or small antiques such as gloves and handbags, postcards and shells, etc.
Decorating using what you’ve already got works for me!

How fun and creative! That is a wonderful idea!!! I love using what I have instead of buying more…
Very manly! I like it!
Love it! Perfect decor for a computer guy!
Hi, there. Just stopping by to thank you so much for visiting me on my SITS day last Friday.
I’m wishing for you and hubby better days.
Peace and serenity,

Very cute! We just dug up some window dividers for house windows…they look just like those really expensive multi-8×10 picture frame things? Except these were free! A little TLC and glass for the front, I can hang HUNDREDS of pics! YAY!
That is so creative!! What a fun topic for discussion too for his office.
