Moving!

We are moving back into our 3 bedroom condo. I had lived there previously and we had a chance to remodel the kitchen and the small half bath on the first floor.

Earlier this week I began to realize that all our furniture there are mismatched hand me downs. I suppose it had been o.k. before because money was really tight after our remodels. Now we've had a few months to save up so I have a small budget but a budget nonetheless! Although I love fancy expensive things, I am quite the deal catcher and can really make the most of tight budgets. I kept our complete kitchen remodel under $2500!... new cabinets and all, you can't beat that.

Anyway... so my search began for a dining room table. I usually start with craigslist or second hand stores... but lately shopping with a two year old is a real headache. I search and emailed a few people on sets that ranged about 300-400 but were fairly new. Then I found a solid wood Retro 1970's Dining Set!! Oh, it was beautiful... from the picture all I could tell was that it needed to be reupholstered. I can see potential in something like this... and so my task begins.
