I was in Lowe’s last night and was wandering down the mirror aisle, and this sign caught my eye…
I was driving past my old middle school when we were in Montana, and this house made me do a double take. It’s across the street from the school and I used to walk past it everyday, but I don’t remember it in this great of shape. Look what a new coat of paint, some home made shutters, a new porch railing, and some new light fixtures, and some simple landscaping (maybe new windows?) can do. I want to buy it and it’s not even on the market!
The door is the same one from the 60’s, but isn’t it amazing what a coat of black paint can do?
Don’t you just want to see inside now? Am I officially a stalker?
As we were getting our basement finished, we asked our contractors how much built in shelves would be on either side of the fireplace. They quoted $2000.
Yikes. No thank you. We are at the end of our budget.
A few days later, I was in Walmart, and saw these Better Homes and Gardens 5 shelf bookcases on clearance for $50 each.
They were all gone, but the brown and black floor models were sitting there. I tracked someone down and asked if I could go ahead and just buy the floor models. They said yes, I ran home and measured, ran it by my husband, and then came back and picked them up that night, fully assembled.
