I've been wanting to spiff up parts of the house a little bit and add to our furniture collection before we move out of the big city (where the good shopping is)!
Two fabulous finds I am VERY proud of...
This beauty will look great in our master bedroom once we have one that is big enough for a chair :)! You will never believe how much I paid for this practically new chair that once just sat in a model home....$90! Thank you Craigslist.
To also spiff up our master bedroom...I wanted new bedding before we moved so our old bedding could go on out guest bed.
This my friends...put be back a whopping $99. And do you know what all I got for that price? All of it...yep - every piece you see (except for the cream pillow). The set came with the comforter, two euro shams, two standard shams, bedskirt and two decorative pillows. Thank you Stein Mart.
And I got even MORE excited today when I went to a precious antique / flea shop. Thank goodness I didn't have any cash with me! But I can say...this shop is where I will soon purchase some end table, an additional nightstand....hopefully a desk...any maybe I can talk the hubs into a few other things. I am telling you - I could probably get 6 different pieces of furniture for $500.
Oh and...does anyone know an easy way to paint / distress wood furniture? Help a sista out and give me a tutuorial!

When it comes to distressing and antiquing it depends on the look you are going for the different techniques. But never fear it, it's so fun. There are no wrongs!!
