Before and After

After a year of budgeting, a week of laying floor and painting, yard sale & craigslist shopping, and some rearranging of furniture, the hard work has paid off. Everything was on sale and we came out under budget!! We initially decided to replace the carpet since it smelled pretty bad from Ramsey and I wanted really clean floors for Dominic when he starts to crawl. We started talking and budgeting and when the time was right and we had the money, God provided deals that were better than we imagined!!!

1. The pergot flooring from Costco was $8 off per packet...we saved a total of $216 (this coupon comes out only once a year)
2. New to us flat screen tv from a garage sale...$30
3. 1 year old Microfiber couch from craiglist...$120 (I talked her down $30!! And we just saw this exact couch in an add for $500 brand new!)
4. Table from goodwill $10 (With a fresh coat of spray paint to bring it up to date and make it look new, and leaves that pull out on both sides it becomes a big table)
5. Paint from home depot $5 off per gallon...$20 savings total!!
