Thank You, Mortgage Crisis...

This afternoon we stumbled upon a lawn sale about two blocks from our apartment... but this was no ordinary lawn sale.
This was a lawn sale featuring top of the line, modern, and did I mention fabulous furniture and home decor.
And this was no ordinary top of the line, modern, fabulous furniture.
This was furniture that was meant to fill several state of the art model homes, that never actually materialized due to the unfortunate lag in the housing market.
Bottom line, the interior designers just wanted to get rid of it... and THAT means, Reece and I took it of their hands, and for an INCREDIBLE price, might I add.
Take a look at my new toys:



Exhibit #1: Dining Room table with 6 chairs. Now we can actually have more than two people over for dinner at a time. Priceless.



Exhibit #2: Italian Bar Chairs, in robin egg blue. Originally $100 each, we brought them home for a cool $20. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE them. Maybe now we'll have some incentive to behave like civilized grown-ups and eat sitting down.



Exhibit #3: New Table Cloth. Reece said we needed to get more green. So 75 cents later... we had more green.



Exhibit #4: Retro Rug. Nothing says "Welcome to our Rockin' Pad" like the $10 Retro Rug.



And finally... Exhibit #5: Luscious Lemons. Our walls are too white, so a $10 citrus twist will likely do the trick.

So here's proof that something good really can come out of this mortgage crisis.
