...another WINNING WEEKEND...

Hope you guys had a great weekend...mine was a "Winning Weekend"

This weekend was filled with moving a tone of furniture into my condo...by myself. However, I did manage to find a few items to add to my home. Some will have makeovers some will not.
Lets first view the shopping carts...then analyze a little closer.

 




With so many planned dinner parties in the works I really needed a dining set. While picking up my sofa this set was being delivered. It did not get placed on the floor until Sunday. So I managed to get back to see the complete set. It was priced at $199.99. The workers assumed it would stay on the floor because of the price. I was starting to second guess the price as well. However, I had a U-Haul truck (need my own little truck)  in my possession so it kinda worked out.
These are just place holder chairs. I will certainly upgrade to a different set..pending funds available. I have a particular style in mind. I will blog on that later on in the week.

Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Ahhhhhh!!! I'm screaming over those lamps! And that table, you hit the jack pot. The chairs alone are worth more than $200!

Can't wait to see more!

Great finds GW! I wonder if that dining room table/chairs is Kinkaid? If so, they are solid wood and beautiful!

Hi Mr. Goodwill,
I just found your blog (through Kim@chattafabulous). I really love it! Love your name btw!

I think this dining set looks great and was a steal for $199. I don't know why you wouldn't want to keep it really.

Best,
Julie

Pam @ diy Design Fanatic said...

What fabulous finds! The lamps are great! I almost went today, but didn't think it would be a good weekend. Silly me!

Sanctuary Home said...

Wow...you scored! I can't believe you got that dining room set for $199.00, would'nt happen around here (anywhere in California). Good job, I'd love to see it in your space. The lamps are fabulous too! Take more pictures of your home,it would be geat to see how all of these great finds play out in the decor of your space. : )

Those yellow and brown dishes are sitting at my Goodwill too! I love them, but a) I have too large of a dish collection already and b) they aren't completely my style.

I recently found your blog and love the title :)
