Rainy day window shopping

Yesterday was a wet, rainy day. Andi, Drew, Benton (Jake) and I went up to Berlin to the Farmer’s market. It wasn’t real crowded.. they are at their busiest when the weather is nice and warm. They usually have an outdoor flea market too but with the nasty weather that wasn’t happening.

We walked around the indoor shops and did a lot of window shopping. Andi and Drew found a sofa and loveseat that they like for under $750 for both. There were good deals on tv stands too. I saw a mattress and box spring I’d love to have. It had a really thick pillow-top on the mattress. Just sitting on it I could feel just how comfortable it was. I know my back would love to have that.

Now we know where to go to get some really nice stuff when we finally find a place to live.

Decorating

There are ways to decorate your home without destroying your savings account. For example it’s a lot cheaper to paint your walls yourself instead of hiring a painter to come in and do it for you. It’s not all that hard to do.. I’ve done it many times.

You can also find some nice things to decorate with in a dollar store. Yes, I said in a dollar store. You can find some pretty glass vases that you can use to decorate with. Fill them with some decorative stone, that you can sometimes find in the dollar store too, and some nice fake floral pieces. You can change them out with the change of seasons then all you are paying for is some fake floral pieces.

You can also use some throw blankets to decorate the back of a sofa. If you have more than one on hand you can change it out from time to time.
