Anthro Inspired

One of my favorite stores is Anthropologie 

No surprise there, if you've ever been to one then you probably love it too

its hard not fall in love :) 

However we are young married college students and cant 

really afford my obsession.... 

SOOOO i use Anthropologie as my inspiration

EXAMPLE #1

This little beauty has been a huge inspiration to me

i LOVE mirrors 

(I blame my mother, if you have ever been to our house we have at least one mirror in every room)

for starters this mirror collage is where I got the inspiration for our reception backdrop (pictures coming soon)

I also wanted it in my our apartment

unfortunately to buy it from Anthropologie would cost me about $700

 so... I did what I do best and made it my self

 I think it turned out pretty awesome! I got all the mirrors from antique stores and they were originally used for our wedding back drop.

So mine is a little smaller (4 mirrors as opposed to 7) but I still believe I saved about $300

Have you ever tried to take pictures of mirrors? its hard!

EXAMPLE #2

This awesome book wreath isn't actually sold at Anthropologie but it does have an Anthro look to it 

I love it! I made a bunch of them this summer for a vintage craft fair My mom and I sold things at and they were a huge hit

They are kind of hard to travel with so I decided to make a new one when we got to Rexburg

Moral of the story:

If something is out of your price range don't be discouraged just find a way to make it for cheaper :)
