Heather Bailey and Amy Butler have amazingly cute fabric lines that I've followed for years. They are much more accessible now!
Fabric.com has great prices for them , just go to the site and search their names. AND you can usually find a coupon code for fabric.com. They do free returns as well! So great :)

Garage Sales
My Garage Sale Find was this cute lil Cane Chair for $10. It had a hideously ugly cream cushion on it. So my mom graciously made a new one out of special order fabric.
Joanns Special Orders
If you are into sewing, I challenge you to check out the custom order section at Joanns. I could get lost in there.I found this goody at 50% plus my mom's crazy discount so I made drapes for the master bedroom with this fabric. I paid like $40 or so for the whole sha-bang.
The section has been 40% off for the last few weeks. Check it out!
My cheap, chic, laundry room office.
BEFORE
AFTER
This is actually a corner in our huge laundry room.
Here's the deals :
Pottery Barn Tablecloth $33 marked down from $70. I made it into a drape. ( 108x74inches )..matching window curtains, will post later.
Ikea Mikael Desk: $ 52 scratch and dent ( orig $75 i think )
Ikea Chair: $25 scratch and dent
Pottery Barn "Wayne System" on the wall: $60 clearance.. originally $375 not including tax and ship!!!
The rest I paid with coupons for, like getting 10% off here and there. But good deals.
We also got all new flooring put it and I got a deal on that due to a lowes coupon.

It pays to complain, nicely.
I'm so sick of seeing our bills go up for no reason whatsoever.
Our comcast internet bill went from $39, to $79 to $55.
The trick?
Call "retention." I just called them saying that I'm interested in other
companies now, because of my rates. They quickly said we'll see what
we can do. 4 minutes later I had a new rate of $36, instead of $55.
So I got on a roll.
I called PSE because they decided to charge me again for another deposit.
Every time I have moved, I get charged about $250. I think it's stupid.
I was very nice, and she simply removed it and gave me a credit of $45 on
top of it. Very nice.
I called Sprint.
Asked for retention.
I asked why my service discounts have suddenly disappeared, and why am I
paying $15 more than other months with no overcharges?
They said I am sorry for this, and gave me a discount of $15 per month and free
texts.
Hallelujah.
