I think you can never go wrong if you have good books in your home. What a great thing to be teaching your kids. My home currently looks like a hoarder lives here, or a bunch of other houses got together and threw up. I too love cheap finds and I love to "remake" things and repurpose them. I also love antique stores and thrift stores.Nance Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10626846224724928400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158465778762894225.post-39981321539227569662011-05-06T06:07:12.424-07:002011-05-06T06:07:12.424-07:00Oh, I love that chair.

I'm taking a similar approach to decorating our house but sometimes wonder what the point is since I live in a house of boys and dogs and I'm the only one that cares.

I love wire baskets but they confound my husband. He doesn't understand them. :)<br /><br />Jennifer - I LOVE all of those places too. I wish I had more time to shop there but that would just probably lead to more "projects" around the house! My next endeavor is to learn to sew slipcovers so I don't ever have to pay to reupholster my sofa again!Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930595783989373630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158465778762894225.post-51406195138391665892011-04-13T11:40:51.950-07:002011-04-13T11:40:51.950-07:00Great read!

We bought our sofa's new (8 yrs ago ha!) and our mattress. But I am ok with that :) My things may not be top of the line, but I OWN them!<br /><br />http://www.dishesandsocks.com/Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229144324721850827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158465778762894225.post-58495368285957858472011-04-12T21:18:31.609-07:002011-04-12T21:18:31.609-07:00My favorite part is the basket of books under the ...My favorite part is the basket of books under the table.
