Shower Curtain Fun

Melody gave me a shower curtain she wasn't using. Since the tiny cabin doesn't have a bathroom and I use Megan's that already has one I came up with a different use for it. The top half I used as a table skirt to hide the mini fridge and things I have stored under the table. I had a spring rod Megan gave me that worked perfect.
The bottom half I cut in half, using one half for the bottom of the microwave table and the other half to cover the front of my shelves holding can goods. I had 2 tiny rods left from hanging curtains that worked perfectly. It makes the kitchen area look more country instead of primitive but everything used was free! I love being frugal and decorating without spending money. Its not the farm kitchen from before but I like the cozy, homesteading feel I get in my tiny cabin kitchen.
I did spend a few dollars last month. I found a wooden cabinet at Goodwill for $8. It has 2 drawers and a door hiding 3 shelves. Its suppose to be a bathroom cabinet but I use it as a bedside table. I keep books in the shelves for easy access during the night. The drawers hold reading glasses, pens, paper, etc. and the top is big enough for a reading lamp, bible, etc. Its solid wood and very sturdy. Thought about painting it but for now I like it white.
There is a chair and table next to cabinet. Rusty has a blanket under the chair where he takes naps or hides from company. The antique chair belonged to Brian's grandmother and I love it. The round table was Megan's. The items on top of the table were given to me except the snowman candle jar. I purchased it at a thriftstore for $1.50. Makes a beautiful night light when grands are over and it has snow and snowmen inside... my favorite winter scene! Megan is letting me hang Mother's thimble collection in the cabin. I have them on the wall above the bed and a guardian angel picture. Feels nice having something of mothers to see and bring memories out I had forgotten.
Daughters and friends have given me things. I searched all the thrift stores in town and found awesome bargains. It is lots of fun fixing the tiny cabin up frugally. I had more photos of the inside but they were blurry for some reason. Will take more tomorrow to share. I am already planning frugal but wonderful ways to decorate the cabin for the holidays. Being happy and content with your home doesn't have to involve lots of money. The fun for me is seeing how frugal but nice I can do things.
Megan and Carol had a fun but wet day on their train ride. They left Bryson City, NC at 11Am this morning traveling through the mountains to Nantahala and back to Bryson City at 3:30PM. They loved it! They enjoyed the view and eating lunch on the train.
Megan found out they have the Polar Express train ride too. It leaves out each night and takes you to the North Pole to meet Santa and walk around before bringing you back to Bryson City. I think there will be some grandkids wanting to take this ride!
Its raining again. Been raining hard all day so everyone is watching to see if the road floods again. It is a muddy mess at the moment but so far no flooding. That's about it for news. Hope you had a dry, warm, blessed day!
