I cannot believe it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted here. When I logged in this morning (which I still do to check on any questions and comments), it seemed like it had only been a few months.
Nothing to speak of has changed in the house yet. ย It’s been an adventurous year to say the least. ย That great job we sold the Victorian and moved half-way across the country for? ย They decided they didn’t have that much work after all, so the Hubs was laid off a few months ago. ย Thanks guys. ย ๐
Needless to say, there hasn’t been extra money to get to restoring and customizing the house. ย We still had leftover paint from the Victorian and the Craftsman that we used to repaint most of the inside of the new house. ย And we’ve been picking up a few things here and there from Craigslist and really great store sales too. Like those chairs. We’ve been waiting a year for chairs because we were so picky. ย But we both instantly loved them (and they’re comfy too!). ย Love World Market.
By the way, some tips if you’re going to shop with them:
- If you know what you want before you go, buy it online first and choose the “Pick up in store” option…you’ll automatically get 5% off.
- Sign up for their rewards program (especially if you buy furniture from them). ย We’ve gotten many $10 gift cards over the years. ย Plus you get additional discounts through the year.
- Google “World Market” coupon before checking out. ย There is almost always a working 10% off code that they let you have.
- Wait for sales. ย Their sales are big (like 20-50% off), and they rotate through entire departments at once.
Couldn’t help but share because it’s just a great store with great deals.
Anyway, aside from the new chairs, you can see that it’s still all our old stuff that you’ve seen before. ย There are tons of plans, but first we have to get to things like replacing windows, replacing rotting support beams, stopping leaks, running gas lines, etc. ย You know…all the fun stuff.
