Bedroom redecorating is all done!

Well, I spent the weekend redecorating the bedroom with the new purchases I made! It turns out the "window scarf" I had bought was actually two window panels! Somehow they must have gotten put in the wrong package. But, it's OK because it actually worked out better to have the two panels. The most money was spent on the new curtain rods and tiebacks.
Here's the rundown of the total cost for everything:
Comforter set (comforter, shams, sheet set & bedskirt) - 24.98 (on clearance)
Window treatments - 2.48 (on clearance)
Curtain rods - 25.98
Tiebacks - 10.99
Total = 72.94

I really don't think that's too bad and here's a pic of what it looks like!

Another thought - why does everything that you take out of the packaging have to be ironed? It would be so much easier if there weren't so many creases and wrinkles in EVERYTHING!!!

I LOVE TARGET!!!!

The hubby and I went to Target to look at some things. We found this Comforter set for 75% off!!! It was originally $99.99 and it was on clearance for $24.98. I thought this was an especially great bargain because I have been looking for something new for our bedroom and didn't want anything flowery or neutral. I like this set because it's bright and doesn't seem like something that I would normally buy! Will need to change the window treatments also because the ones we have on there now won't match. I was looking for valances that will match, because we already have blinds on the windows. I found a window scarf that matches perfectly (also on clearance for $2.48), but there was only one. I think that if I could cut it in half it might work, but I don't know how to sew. May have to recruit mom for help on this one! I can't wait to redecorate the bedroom this weekend!

**For some reason in this picture it looks pink, but it's really red and orange!

Movie time

On Saturday, a good friend and I went to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic." It is my new favorite movie - I will definitely be buying that one when it comes out on DVD! Loved it just as much as the books! I found a lot of similarities between Rebecca Bloomwood and myself.

Saturday shoppping day

Last Saturday I went shopping - finally! It's been awhile since I've been shopping. Went to the mall and stocked up on some stuff from Clinique so I could get the free bonus gift (free stuff is awesome!). Also was walking by Maurice's and noticed their sale they were having - buy a pair of jeans, you get a top 50% off! I know, it's just a marketing thing to get you to spend more, but I needed some new jeans anyways. So, I bought two pair and then of course got two tops (50 % off). And they are super cute, so that's even better!

We also went to Wal-Mart Saturday night to get a "few" things. Ended up going through the clearance aisles and filled up the cart! They had a whole aisle full of clearance toys - and they were marked down really good too, so I figured they would make great Valentine's Day gifts.

Can't wait to see the new "Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie that opens Friday! :-)
