Yard Saling

So, yesterday I woke up at 6:30am to hit up some yard sales and scored some majorly awesome deals!! First of all, it takes a lot for me to wake up this early if I don't have to, so (the nerd I am) I mapped out the yard sales I wanted to go to that I found in the paper. I then, preceded to program them into my GPS, for the next morning. After hitting the snooze button several times, I finally was out the door with coffee in hand...


The first wonderful find was a coffee table and end table set that a woman sold me for $5...she said she just wanted to get rid of it, so I was more than happy to buy it from her. At the moment, our living room is a hodgepodge of furniture that doesn't really match all that much, but in my attempt to bring it all together, I think I've succeeded. The coffee table/end tables help our living room look more "living roomish" !


A few random items I snagged at a yard sale were some cute rain boots and a vera bradley purse for $4!!

Now, for the greatest buy of the day...Since we moved into our apartment I've wanted to get a desk that I can use to do Arts/Crafts on and the occasional paperwork. I've looked on craigslist and elsewhere, but yesterday I found this jewel of a desk at an estate sale for $35 and had to buy it! It's an antique and would be a great refinishing project....and I absolutely fell in love with it...
So, last night my husband helped me move it into our second bedroom (office room) and move out a green recliner we had that we never used.


 I'm so excited to get it fixed up and get my stuff organized in the drawers, because right now my stuff is thrown all over the room...


Here's a pic of it:

And here's the green recliner that is now up for grabs:
