I scored!!!

Two of my main resolutions this year are to lose weight (I'm on a really good roll with that one) and to decorate my house finally. We've lived here 8 months now (I know, it's crazy how time flies) and I haven't really done any decorating. Part of that is because I don't want to put up the same old stuff I've had for years. My style and the things that I like have changed. But, when I go to the store to buy things, I can't stand to pay the prices (we were poor students for way too long). So, the other day I got onto craigslist and started looking for some of things I've been wanting. I ran across an indoor garage sale that had been postponed to this coming weekend because of the weather. I called on it and the lady said I could come look early, before the sale - she already had everything set up. I went yesterday and was sooooo glad I did. I spent $200 and came away with so much stuff. I know I would've spent WAY more than that at a store. She had a lot of the kinds of things I've been wanting, like wall art and a console table and a great big clock. Below are some pictures showing what I brought home. I'm sooo excited to start decorating now and finding a home for all of this stuff! I want to paint the console table and some of the frames. I'll take some before and after pictures and post them when I have them done.
