    SO, I scored the BEST deal this weekend! Macy’s was having a huuuuuuuuge sale and I had some other discounts to take advantage of. We bought a Martha Stewart king size quilt and two pillow shams- retail value, $420 for the set (did I just sound like Bob Barker?). We got all of it for $70! Say WHAT?!

    My luckiest home-ownership moment is the situation I am in right now. My boyfriend and I weren’t looking to buy a house but my Mom’s boyfriend is selling us his Mother’s at $50,000 off the asking price! He is so emotionally tied to it, he wanted it to go to people he knew.

    JOSS ME! We were at a lighting sale at Restoration Hardware buying a lamp and really wanted a coffee table there as well but it was full price, we jokingly said to the salesman are you having a coffee table sale soon. He said friends and family sale started in 2 weeks and we could pre-order right then for sale price! Score!

    I got lucky when a rug I had been saving for and coveting had been on sale at Garnet Hill. I went to order only to find out it had been sold out. I then was flipping through a Shades of Light catalog and found the same rug there. Since we have a local Shades of Light warehouse in Richmond I called to see if they had it and asked if they would match the sale price. They agreed so I gave my business to the local business and got free shipping since I could pick it up. A win for everyone.

    My luckiest home improvement deal was finally finding a paint color after 6 months of looking for our living room/dining room/kitchen (vaulted ceilings!). I wanted to get the right color, because I wasn’t doing it again! (Toasted Almond by Olympic No-VOC).

    We scored desks for our newly finished basement for only $3!! My husband’s work was getting rid of old office furniture so we got a couple of old 90s style laminate desks. You know the ones….no legs just a straight board for the sides and back. Some elbow grease, glossy chocolate brown paint and new pulls made for a great office desk for my husband and a crafting desk for me!
