Dumpster Divas Digital Grand Opening!

Mission Statement: Build it, not Buy it.

Two quotes: Chris Rock once asked, “How many of us work two jobs…just to be broke?”  Audrey Hepburn, in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, essentially said “No matter what I do, I only seem to have 250.00 in the bank.”  These are a couple phrases in which the Dumpster Divas can identify in their daily lives.  We have asked the question of what does one do with caviar dreams on a Sprite (or Shasta) budget?  Our answer: Build it, no buy it.

Our goal is to share with others and maintain the American ideology that we were born to build and invent, not born to shop what may be deemed “manufactured cool.” With kids and formula in the car, the husbands (or game wardens) not in sight, the 2 Texas ladies of the Dumpster Divas are on a mission to partake in the family juggling act of attempting to make a beautiful, Southern Living-esque home while reading the Penny Saver and using the creative portion of our frontal lobes. Simply said, we’re doing the best we can with what we’ve got!

How do we do it?  We have developed a strict standard of operation: avoid the scammers who sell overpriced junk.  We have a strict policy of intersecting creative and practical home décor ideas and not spending more than 20.00 on a pair of accent chairs.  Read our future Dumpster Diva posts for quick and cheap ideas, opinions of where to go and what to avoid (especially when toting kiddos), how to assemble projects from the store to the living room, and our embarrassing yet hilarious misadventures!

Goodwill, quaint antique malls, and resale shops are a much-needed staples-feel free to browse our posted projects!  Let us know your ideas and thoughts!  See you on the digital road to “creative cool” and aid us in adhering to the following sentiments:

“She was a triumph over ugliness, so often more beguiling than real beauty, if only because it contains a paradox.  In this case, as opposed to the scrupulous method of plain good taste and scientific grooming, the trick had been worked by exaggerating defects; she made them ornamental by admitting them boldly.”

-Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s
