Makeover Monday - Foyer Valentine Transformation!

Good Morning all!

 Today's "Makeover Monday" is all about the "LOVE".   Basically I'm just showing my new decor for Valentine's Day in our front foyer!

 Here's How my foyer looked after the original transformation (where I completely de-cluttered and showed the frame craft I made....Full post FOUND HERE)


Thankfully we've managed to keep it clutter free (MOST of the time...haha)  which is a good thing!

So here's how I took this foyer to THIS ONE....again, this was a very inexpensive makeover....costing $0 (considering I used stuff I already had, but if you add up the cost of the items purchased, it would still be less than $15!!!




The Vase, I found for $2 at Goodwill back in January.  The Silver pillar candleholder (which I had a white candle on, but I almost like the symmetry of not having it on a little better)  I got at Ross on clearance for $6.99.   The white flowers were from Michaels on sale for 50% off, so I snagged them up for $4!   The New inserts for the frames cost me a few cents!

I just love how I can create new looks with these frames for the seasons/holidays so inexpensively!  Each season has 6 letters (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn) so that will make it easy, but the winter frames didn't really work so well with Valentine's Decor, and I will want special decor for St. Patrick's Day too....soooo...I was able to easily put these frames to good use by changing out the scrapbook paper and adding some letters that I printed out from Microsoft Word.  

 I found an awesome "seasons" book of scrapbook paper for $9.99 (on sale from $20) at Michaels a few months ago and it's been perfect!  

The box where I put our keys and other clutter is still the same and the heart dish (which I've had for years) is filled with cinnamon chips for a nice cinnamon smell when you enter (although I'm not sure how good they work...)

 Anyway, that's today's MONDAY MAKEOVER!  Thanks for visiting!

    I never realized that the names of the seasons all had the same number of letters! Silly me just always called autumn the "fall." LOL
    Your foyer wall looks cute- my chest in the hall never looks nice and neat like this- just call me messy..... Thanks for visiting this morning.

      Hi Sue! Thanks so much! Yes, mine was that same way...full of clutter and junk and it just wasn't welcoming...it took a LONG LONG time for me to finally get it de-cluttered. I'm eventually hoping to get a new table for our foyer, one with a little more pizazz, but I haven't found it yet, at a price I want to pay...haha! Thanks again for visiting! Have a great week!

    I am nearly 55 years old, and I never stopped to think that all 4 seasons have 6 letters! How red in the face do you think I am right now? :-) This is really cute!!!!!! You can have all sorts of fun thinking up 6-letter words! The fact that you're able to do it on a dime makes it that much more enticing! Great makeover idea!

      You know, I never thought of it until I made these frames. I started with Autumn, which was when I first saw this craft idea...if I would have started with any other season, I'm not sure I would have gotten it..haha! Thanks so much for the nice comment, and for visiting! =D
