Thrifty Decorating

I love browsing through decorating blogs. Here is my quick contribution to the world of bargain-hunting decor: This plant was marked down to $0.50 and was in a shopping cart full of discounted Easter merchandise last year. It didn't look like it would last very long, but here it is almost a year later and doing great. Not bad considering that it spends most of its time in the guest bedroom with the blinds closed. Instead of planting it in an actual pot, I just placed it inside a cute bowl from the $1 Store. The colorful thingy on the right is just an old jar filled of incense and tied with a bow. As for the slate tiles, they are the top of the bar that Sexy Nerd built. They're sitting inside a groove, not grouted down, so that if we ever change our decor, we can easily switch out the top of the bar with different tiles.

Road Trip Day 5 - Hoover Dam & Brandy's Flagstaff

Leaving Las Vegas, we drove over the Hoover Dam. About 5 years ago, SN and I paid to take the tour of the dam. We will never do that again and recommend avoiding the tour at all costs! What a waste of time. Hey! You're not in Vegas anymore. Get back in your car! If you don't stay inside your vehicle, I'm guessing that this guy might have something to say about it: We found Brandy's Restaurant Bakery in Flagstaff, AZ on the site for Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. It never would have crossed our minds to stop here otherwise. It was delicious! This employee didn't seem too keen on us taking photos of our food. Looking back, I guess it was a little weird.
