a beginner's attempt at thrifty decorating

So I am trying to be a little "thrifty" and work with what I have as I decorate our new place...here's what I've come up with so far!



Mike's coffee jars
50 cents for the jars at a yard sale and $4.00 for paint, brush, and chalk!



Someone from church gave us these chairs (they originally came from Subway)...needless to say they needed a little sprucing!




So they got painted! I plan on covering the seats soon too! Not sure exactly how it will turn out, but at least I've enjoyed it!
