My Family Calls Me Cheap

June 19, 2011
 
They have a right to call me cheap, I am cheap.  It doesn't matter what I am buying, I refuse to pay full price! Now that we moved into our new house, I have kicked my "cheapness" level up a notch.  Not only do I like to coupon for groceries, I LOVE to find good deals on things for our house.  Goodwill has become one of my favorite stores.  Recently, I purchased two end tables at good will for only $20 each.   Attached is one of the tables after I refinished it.  I forgot to take a before picture!  I will get better at that now that I have this blog (hopefully)! 

Sorry for the poor quality.  We need a new memory card, so I had to take this on my phone.

I am writing this blog to keep track of my exciting deals and hopefully get new ideas.  I am also going to share projects that we are doing around the house.  Our "new" house was built in 1978, and we love it, even though we have loads of work to do, including plenty of wallpaper to strip off the walls.  My current project is the half bath on the main level.  I started stripping the wallpaper and realized there was ANOTHER layer of wallpaper underneath.  So, it has turned into a much longer project than I anticipated. 

Off to work on the backyard in the Georgia heat!
