Hello if anyone is still checking this thing.....
All has been quite on the home front. Summer is here can you tell? It is very hard to convience J or myself to stay home and paint when we can be playing at the lake.
So we have decieded that 2 nights out of the week we will began doing all the small things that need to be done. Painting windows and molding. We only have 3 more windows to be painted. Then I have to figure out what color I want to paint the doors. Should be interesting.
I have however been on the hunt for items for the house to give it a "home" feel. The icing on the cake or jewlery for the house...
I have found a few places around here with items that were major steals. One store I was introduced to was the Christmas Tree Shop in Greensboro. If you are thinking what I was before walking in was, who needs Christmas stuff all year round?! NO this store is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It has everything you can think of for CHEAP! As my friend put it, "Big Lots on steriods..."
Another store is Treasures Decor, they have great consignment furniture. I am very picky and germ crazy, but this stuff is clean and doesn't have the odors of its previous owners. We lucked up on a name brand television cabinet there for less than we could buy the cheap one at Target.
However, yesterday I hit the motherload of stuff. I went to the Red collection in Greensboro. It was like the consignment angels were singing. I found lamp shades for cheap to dress up our dining room light and a mirror for 1/4 of the price of the one I have been dreaming about at Target. I know J is glad I do not own a SUV because I am limited on how much I can fit in my car or I probably would have brought home more than I did yesterday.
I will post pictures soon of these finds.
I hope everyone reading has a great holiday weekend/week and stay safe!
Until next time.
