Hi Hoooooooo

It's off to the house we go!

Went furniture shopping yesterday and ordered our sectional couch from Penney's. I don't have a picture to show you, but it's going to be "Ceramic Blue" Which is a mixture of denim blue and caramel with a chocolate backing thread. It's kind of difficult to explain it, but it's real pretty. The pillows to go with it will be a triangular patterned fabric with shades of denim blues, caramels, taupes, chocolate etc. I can't wait! It is going to take about 6-8wks to get done. *sigh*

We bought a new mattress and box spring from Sleep Experts in their sale and the box spring was actually free. Free is good right? It's being delivered on Tuesday.

We decided on the bedroom furniture we want, but will wait another week to order it so we have enough cash to get everything in one shipment. They are a fairly new store and not a chain. He can deliver the stuff within 1-2 days of purchase, so not bad. And if we get everything before April 01, even if it has to be restocked, it will still stay at that price! I've checked it out on another furniture place's website and you can see what it looks like HERE. We found it MUCH cheaper at the store we went to, and it looks even better in real life!

Got a gorgeous bed set on sale in Penney's too. You can have a peek at that HERE. You can zoom in real close on this too. Again, it looks much prettier in real life and looks fabbo with the new carpet. (Yes I was smart enough to have a piece of carpet with me to test stuff out!) We got some pale green voile panels for the window, the matching valence to go above the window frame and some pale green sheets with a pretty pleat trim and some cream pleated satiny type throw pillows. I have never spent so much money on a bed set in all my life, but I just HAD to have this and it was VASTLY reduced in the sale and cause we applied for a Penney's card, we got a further 10% off! We ended up saving $285 Woo hoo

Lowe's have made to order mini blinds which will fit our non-standard sized windows and we can get every window done for under $250 total. Not bad when you think that the builder wanted $1300 for mini-blinds! LOL

So today, we will hopefully get a couple of house runs done and move the stuff we don't want the movers to do...like the fish tank (as small as it is) and our PC's etc, more clothing and bedding. Gonna be busy, busy, busy.

Not sure when I will be able to get back on the net again as we won't have DSL for a while. This may be my last blog for a few weeks. Watch this space!

Bye for now all.
