Weekly Wowzers - Big impact for SMALL CHANGE

It is weekly 
Wowzers.


This week is about how you can make big impact with small change....as in
LESS MONEY....ON A BUDGET....
OR AS THE SAYING GOES
FOR A SONG!!

You should know that I don't purchase anything for my home....and I mean anything
 unless it is on 
SALE!

My favorite place to find amazing things for my home is
CONSIGNMENT CENTERS!
Of course then there are antique stores, garage sales, clearance centers and last but not least the
INTERNET!!

As I look around my house I have the following items that have been purchased from one of the above mentioned places.

China hutch, living room rugs, art work, dressers, kitchen island, chairs, media stand, dining room chairs, bar stools, headboard, living room couch, family room couch, houndstooth chair, end tables, mirrors, bedroom set, china, sofa table, lamps

Ok so I think you get the idea.

Hey don't get me wrong I would love to just walk in and never check a price tag and just buy it......
But I just can't do that especially when I know that if I do a little leg work...or finger work....I will find that item for less.

I thought I would share with you a few of my recent purchases.
  • A 12 piece place setting of BLOCK china and as a Bonus it also included several serving bowls and platters purchased at a garage sale.
$70.00

  • An upholstered king size headboard accented with nail studs.  The fabric is a faux black silk dupioni. 

$365.00
  • Wing back chairs. Upholstered in dark grey fabric with nail head trim. 
$475.00

 Everything in this living room was purchased 
ON SALE
1. Leather couch - clearance center  2. Leather ottoman - internet  3. End table - consignment center      4. Rug - clearance center 5. Mirror - clearance center 6. Lamp - consignment center


Bottom line I like to keep as much money in my own pocket as possible because when I reach into my pocket and find that

SMALL CHANGE
IT REMINDS ME OF THE
BIG IMPACT
IT HELPED ME MAKE.
