Room 3: "Orange" you surprised?

Welcome to my favorite room in the house: THE LIVING ROOM: where games will be played, movies will be watched, convos will be held, & floors will be vacuumed.

 This part of the house is super cozy & has fun splashes of color. Each piece of furniture was purchased separately (mostly by my mother) & here's the story on each item:

The Couch: FREE! I convinced a lovely Austinite to hand over this gem. Naturally, it's from IKEA & even leaves Mr. Fleece speechless.

The Side Table: $10 from a garage sale. This was one of my craft projects this summer. I cut out the map & stuck it under the plexiglass.

The Pair of Chairs: $35 from Salvation Army in ATX. Also from IKEA.

The Coffee Table: $45 from a garage sale in Texas...makes it the most "expensive" item in the room.

The Entertainment System:$15 from my mom's favorite thrift store in The Woodlands. Used to hold my dishes & glasses. Now it stores our DVDs, books, & games (& soon a TV)!

The Nesting Tables $15 from an estate sale in Willis, TX. I love this little taste of mid-century modern. Plus they'll be super useful when we have guests over.

And lastly, Mr. Fleece & I have our own "Seattle Bucket List." Another free item, seeing as I found the corkboard base in the trash. This was also a summer craft project.

Once we've completed an activity we put it in the green bucket.

So if you had your calculator out, you now know that our little hodge podge comes to a grand total of $120. Needless to say, I'm thankful for these thrifty finds & my bargain loving mother.
