Here is a little snippet of the floor--I really want to show pictures of the completed job(when it's completed). You can still see the unfinished baseboards. Anyway, I found this area rug for $10.00. It is the perfect colors for the room, and I love it. I found one similiar to it at Kohl's for 189.00. What a deal I found!! As you can see, the dog thinks it's hers!
A cute vintage match box!! I guess I should put matches in it.
This bench was brown with stenciled flowers on it--kind of ugly, really!! I took my trusty can of black spray paint, painted it, then distressed it. The drawer even opens. It was 2.oo. The white pitcher was .25 cents including the grassy stuff!! (once again you see the unfinished baseboard-sighhhhhhh...oh ya, I'm having patience=).
This great basket leaning against the wall was 50 cents and the pitcher was 1.00. I already had the other stuff. By the way, I have LOVED looking at all your fall decorations. You inspire me. So, patience......hmmmmm........I'm working on it!!!Be Nice to People,
Julie

In the meantime, come sign up for my fall giveaway....
I agree, you always find the steals!! I can't believe you got that bench for $2!! BTW if you ever get tired of it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. :)

You really did find some great stuff!! Love your floor (it looks like mine! ha ha)
Have a great day!
I like your re-dos and bargains :) Things are looking great!
Don't feel bad about he baseboards...those little touches still haven't been done since our 'remodel'. It's extra money that we didn't have at the time. We actually have to buy new boards because we technically didn't have baseboards. Trailers don't....just those crappy thin 1" strips that they use everywhere. In time it will happen. It's just not top priority right now.
Have a great day!
WOOHOO! You found some wonderful things! Yea, patience is a virtue-THATS why its so hard:) Everything is looking great! Keep posting updates!
