::well done

This weekend was beyond busy. I'm exhausted, but I wanted to share my good fortune with you. I've been scouring the internet/everywhere in a 30 mile radius of my house to find some furniture. I'm pretty picky about the style/cost (more so the style than cost...sorry hubs) but the day after Christmas I struck gold. I went to Target with the intent to find nightstands for the master bedroom and instead wound up with this (mind you it was at the second Target we went to...):

I got to move the other TV stand we had back upstairs (it makes the room look not so "this is all my leftover furniture...doesn't it look so great together") AND I got this little gem on sale for $179.99

SO...we decide to head on over to the West Elm outlet...where I find this:

I got this dresser in a honey color finish to put in our office. Whenever I do get new nightstands for our bedroom, we're going to hurt for the dresser space. It's SO pretty AND I got this on sale...for $149.99. That's right! The furniture was 75% off. Woot!

And as if that wasn't fantastic enough...we walked over to the PB outlet where they were having a door buster sale. Any coffee table in the store was $99. You better believe I bought one. I can't find a picture of it, but I'll take one for you to see it.

The best part of all of this was Aaron was asleep all day. (My parents helped move the furniture to my house) I went ahead and put the TV stand together (yes, by myself...be proud) and by the time I finished with that I had to leave to meet up with friends from out of town. So, I'm gone and Aaron wakes up to find a tv stand, a full coffee table box, a box for the glass top (which he thought was another piece of furniture), and a dresser when he walked into our office. He said he was just LIVID. :) All I get was this text message "I can see now why you didn't wake me up before you left." haha...All was good in the end though. He was not only impressed with the total cost of everything (< $500) but he also said it was furniture that he would've picked out.

Oh happy day!

I didn't think your coffee table was that bad in the first place =) But so glad you got one you love! And what a steal. Those are all really great deals! It is so hard to find good furniture at a good price!!!!! Isn't it great living near the PB outlet? Woo hoo.
