Great Deal at TJMaxx






I have been drooling over all of the paisley print bedding from pottery barn & restoration hardware. Unfortunately, my budget doesn't allow me to purchase any of those options.


After lots of searching online and in stores, I found this beautiful sheet set on clearance for $30 at TJMaxx. I will be making this into a duvet cover for our newly redone GR. Pictures to come!

After: New Hallway


After: Living Space



After: Poker Table


My lovely husband who is obsessed with the University of Kansas Jayhawks was in charge of the decor in this space. Hence the large speakers, framed sports illustrated covers, and poker table. We are both happy with the outcome and love having a place to host our KU watch parties. Here is the breakdown of our purchases:

Labor: free! Thank you Dad.
Materials from HD: $1800 - $500 gift card (thanks to american express)
Leather sectional: $400 on Craigslist
Poker table: $900 at NFM
TV Stand: $270 at NFM
Cowhide Rug: $150 on Ebay
Coffee Table: $60 on Craigslist
Rug Under Poker Table: Free (already had it)
Light Fixture over Poker Table: $70 from Overstock.com
Track Lighting: $50 from HD
Custom Drapes: $70 from Overstock.com (bought 2 panels and sewed them to fit)

It is still a work in progress, but we are so happy to have another space to relax!
