My Frugal Living Room

The Shabby Nest is having her Frugal Friday Party.

My whole living room is full of thrifty treasures.

Below you will see pictures of my our new couch. We love it! It is real leather and we got it for $100 off of Craigslist. I found the best way to get a good deal off of Craigslist is to know what you are looking for and act fast!

My coffee table was $5 from Goodwill.living room 001

This table behind the couch came from the same lady as the couch, it kind-of got thrown in with the couch. It, with the small round side table (which was free from my mom), will receive a make over this summer.

I got these curtains for the front door from Goodwill. I like to close the curtains during the day to block the sun/heat.

I will be painting my living room this summer. I think that I am going to go with the same color as my kitchen, Oyster Bay.

Memorial Weekend

We had a very relaxing memorial weekend. We ate some good food. Hung out with friends and went to the pool twice.

Yesterday Mandy and I took the kids to the park to celebrate good report cards. It started to rain so we went to Chick- Fil- A to play some more and have ice-cream. Look who we ran into:
Kelly and Anna Belle

Dining Room Tour




Kelly's Korner is hosting a "Show me where you live party". This week is Dining Rooms.


Well, If you know me, you know I am always changing things up. Well, our dining room once again is without a table. The girls needed more space, so we are converting our dining room into the "girls hang out room". They are getting their own computer, TV and couch! They are very excited about their new space!



The furniture will get a paint job once I figure out what color I want to paint it.This is our old couch. The cabinet holds all of our craft supplies and needs a major clean out!
We must get new lighting!Why do my animals always sneak into my pictures?

Makeover

So I did a little make over online just for fun one night. It is funny to see yourself with different hairdoes. Check them out:

Before:

After:




















I think that it might be time to wear a little more bangs across my forehead. I also like the darker hair color on me too. When I do decide to get a haircut, the online makeover may help!
