Remember yesterday I told you I purchased a mirror from the TROSA thrift store? Well oddly enough it had a sticker on it with a name on it. I won’t type the name just in case he has a Google alert on his name. I don’t want him to know I Googled it. Yes I … Continue reading

I had to get rid of some of my bedroom furniture to make way for the new furniture. The bed, the nightstand and the mirror had to go. It was a pretty nice cherry sleigh bed with walnut veneers. Instead of having wood slats on the bed it had a metal frame with adjustable risers. … Continue reading
Before you read this article let me preface it by saying that buying furniture online is in no way the same experience as buying it in the store. This is a reporting of my experience which I think would have went a little smoother if I would have better prepared myself. With that said: I … Continue reading
