My husband and I took a short overnight trip to Chattanooga last weekend and of course I was keeping my eyes out for a Goodwill (or two!). We found a big one Saturday morning right in the same parking lot where we were getting our coffee that morning and they were having a 50% off […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Goodwill shopping spree
A few weeks ago my friend Leah, who blogs at Embracing Grace, was in town for the week. So we set aside some time that week to get together and do lunch and catch up. Luckily her hotel was within a mile of a really nice Goodwill which she had already scoped out so we […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: 1 hour to yard sale, a $20 bill, a full car, and a cookout
Two weeks ago I headed out early on Saturday morning. We were hosting a big cookout that evening at our house and I still had cleaning and lots of preparation to do so I didn’t have long to yard sale. But I knew of a big community wide yard sale that I had gone to […]
Don’t miss out on life’s big moments with Share by XFINITY
Disclosure: Post and giveaway sponsored by XFINITY, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. I love technology! I guess I am a bit geeky when it comes to things like that but when I read of a new app or a new gadget or something that makes life better, easier, […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Goodwill Target finds
Many times I walk in Goodwill, look around, and walk back out with nothing. Prices too high, junk that I just don’t need, or whatever. But then occasionally, I walk in and find so much that I end up having to get a cart and leave with a big bag of finds! This was the […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: Mirrors from Value Village and fun yard sale finds
I am so glad yard sale season is back! It is just so much fun to find little things to turn our house into a home for super cheap. I picked up these 2 pieces for $1 each at 2 separate yard sales. I planning on making a gallery wall – maybe 2- soon so […]
Twin headboard makeover with Rustoleum Chalked paint
So remember when I hauled home a truckload of yard sale finds 2 weeks ago? This $10 twin headboard/footboard was in that load and I couldn’t wait to get it transformed. I have REALLY been trying to be better about immediately putting into use and fixing up the things I pick up at yard sales. You […]
Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: a truckload of finds from a small church pew bench, rugs, decor, and more!
The weather has been GORGEOUS here for the last 8 days or so after having weeks of rain… and the yard sales have been everywhere you can look. I actually had my own yard sale last weekend on Thursday and Friday so didn’t stop at any sales on Friday. And I really didn’t think I […]
March + April recap (+ plans for May)
I hope you document progress on your house even if you don’t write a blog. Maybe do a house tour – just taking pictures with your cell phone each year at beginning or during the summer. It is fun to look back and see the changes, because sometimes the biggest changes are gradual changes that […]
Adding a Mohawk SmartStrand bound carpet to our master bedroom
Disclosure: I received a bound carpet for review from Mohawk, but all opinions and thoughts are completely mine. I have another new addition to the master bedroom! Which means one more step to having it finished. Can you guess what it is? Yes, its that beautiful gray rug! This rug is a bit different though […]
