I’m not the kind of gal that goes into a furniture store and picks out her home furniture. My hubby and I find this to be a bit of a “cookie cutter” style for us. We prefer to find unique pieces that are functional. Of course, they need to be inexpensive. TodayI’m going to show you how to take a few old pieces and make them into something great. I hope this will inspire you to look around your home to repurpose some items.
Here are two apple crates that we’re using as bookcases. My hubby and I found these in …read more

Sometimes I find some great deals and I’m so excited about it that I have to share it with all you thrifty folks. My latest deal is this oak entertainment center/armoire.
My hubby and I dropped by the local antique/furniture/junk store this week. We just never know what we’ll find. I have been dropping in there frequently lately because I was looking for something for my tv to sit on. I found a beautiful big dresser but it was $350. Ouch. I even considered it.

OK, so we are going to splurge and get our little man some new furniture tomorrow. The furniture is on sale at Baby Depot until the end of the month but if we wait too long, the little addition to the family will be here before his room is. What does this have to do with being thrifty? Easy. You have to give the pregnant woman some room. I want the nursery to be set up and all the clothes put away before our little miracle comes home. I’ll let you know how we do tomorrow.
