I found these chairs at different times while doing my regular "Ross" stroll.
I got them for about $60 each on the Leopard print chairs and about $80 each on the Giraffe chairs.
Love them and will always find a spot for them in my house.

What goes with a Leopard or Giraffe chair?
The question is......What DOESN'T go with Leopard and Giraffe chairs??? I am a firm believer everything goes with them :)

Bedframe - 20 years old and still going strong.
I have had the bed frame in this picture for 20 years. It has traveled with me on 6 different moves. I have painted it every color. It was black, brown, pink, white, and now a metallic brown. Bless you little bed frame. You were $200 and have given me 20 great years. I hope you can make it 20 more years and several more paint jobs.
Sometimes Good Things come used and cheap
Everything in my living room/family room is either bought from Ross, garage sale, or from someone selling used items (aside from the L-shaped couch). Sometimes I have to spray paint, but a little elbow grease is worth it! Especially when it saves you hundreds.
Design on a Dime - Fireplace Mantle
Our fireplace was an old plain oak color that made it look outdated. I
painted the oak taupe and got all the decorations on top the mantle at yard sales. I
painted things and added the color of candles I wanted. It made the
room look updated and was under $50.
Design on a Dime - Child's Table
I wanted to have an small table for my kids (5 and 6). All the tables I looked at seemed cheap and didn't go with my decor.
1. I bought 2 cheap red plastic chairs and spray painted them a hammered bronze color.
2. I found an old yellow side table. I painted it taupe and had the kids help me decoupage paper on top. I then sprayed a clear coat on top so it would be okay to wipe down if the kids spilled.
The kids love to table and it fits right in with the other colors of the home.

Design on a Dime - Teenage Room/Adult Room
This was for my other cute step-daughters room. She is 17 and chose a "French" type room.
What we did:
1. Found old lamps that were white and burgundy. Painted them black and put a soft yellow and black trim around the lamp shade along with some black flower ribbon.
2. Got a basic cork board at walmart for $4. Sprayed it all black then put the ribbon trim around it.
3. Bought old pictures at a thrift store with the glass still in them. Sprayed the entire picture -- glass even sprayed (Frame black, glass silver). Then went to hobby lobby and found some items on sale for about $15 (aluminum and wood items). I glued them on the frame to make a cool 3-D art picture for her room.
4. Had an old bedding set (used to be a waterbed years ago). It was an orange wood and we painted it all black.
The room turned out fun and the girls and I had a great time doing it. It showed them how much you can do without buying new items.

Decorating on a Dime - Teenage Room
This is a "Shabby Chic" room I did for my darling step-daughter (she is
15). She had a room that still looked like a young teen. I told her we
could re-do her room but she only had $350 to spend. This had to
include comforter, room paint, rugs, pictures, etc.
Pictures are of the below:
1. We took old oak furniture with bronze knobs and painted them.
2. We painted them white then spray painted the handles a hammered silver.
3. I then found a foam board and glued items I found from their dress up box when they were little. It was fun and whimsical for a shabby chic room.
4. I bought some old lamps, spray painted them and then glued ribbon around them. I even spray painted the lamp shade.
5. I found an old frame and bought 4 cheap mirrors at IKEA. I sprayed the frame and glued the mirrors on.
6. I had an old clock that was brown and yellow. I took it apart, spray painted it pink and white for a great shabby chic look.
This is only parts of the room, but we got the entire room redone for that price. We even sprayed an old brass bed with the hammered silver. It turned out beautiful!
