Stencils

I have some old lamps in my apartment I want to fancy-up. I bought gold and purple spray paint and I've been trying to figure out how to use it. I was thinking stripes, or just a gold base and the rest purple. While brainstorming and searching the internet, I found this great website, Whitewall and Co. They have awesome stencils. Since I'm trying to be cheap now--I'm about to be unemployed--I may do my own stencil. If you want to do that, trace a pattern you like and put it onto some card stock. You can copy fabrics or wall papers or make up designs--simpler/bigger is much easier. For those who don't want to take on the task, try this website. You can use the stencils on walls or lamps or headboards...

Sunburst

I just saw this yesterday at Daffy's and am kicking myself for not buying it. If anyone is decorating an apartment and needs something to spice up a wall, run to Daffy's on 57th st. This sunburst mirror was only $89 and there were 2 of them left.
