how to snag a deal

We feel like the luckiest new kids on the block. Ok, so we're not to our new block yet but we're rearing to get there and fill that little apartment with these deals we snagged at Furniture Row. A Fourth of July sale of  "problem" furniture [some slight defects, missing part, floor models, customer returns, etc.] is without a doubt the place to be for those who want...
$25

$25

$25 - so easy to fix!


Because there were no seat cushions, only..... (look below)
Yes, we were happy with that. Especially when we found cushions from another couch that matched sooo well (other than the fabric strip in front). We got that couch for..... $50!


The leather is so sturdy.

Beautiful coffee table for $49.




Not found the same day but at a garage sale on Friday. $5. Will be painting it.

This is the "other couch." This was $50 and we used it for the cushions. I think I'll sew some other cushions to go on it though. It's SO beautiful. A better picture of it when you see the armless chair.

Our $10 table top. No legs but for $10, heck Dave can make some!

Round leaves under each side for a larger table!

Love the distressing and cute/rustic wood pins used.

Armless leather chair. Original $400. Bought for $20.



Blended wool rug that I'm in LOVE with. These are the colors of our house! A little more blue than gray in this picture.
 Ok, and our latest purchase from ebay. No one bid on these beautiful wooden chairs, set of 8. Counter top height. Won/stole for $10!!! catch? They're in Connecticut. Thank goodness we'll be only 3 hours away when we go visit my sister!!!!
