Family Record Player

After our garage sale last week we have been reorganizing the house and also cleaning out the house. This has been so refreshing, especially having the fall season upon us. 

While we were at the GoodWill dropping off some of our things, we had to go inside to use the

 restroom, guess what we came out with?

I really don't know why but I have been wanting a record player for awhile now. This little piece melted my heart, as well as the price, $24.99 We got home and set it up and tried out one of the records that we had bought for a dollar. I found some lovely opera pieces and some old classic movie soundtracks. Low and behold it needs a little tweaking but it sure plays :) 

Zane loves it when we put it on, he dances and sings along with it. It reminded me of a toy I had gotten for him awhile back.

I brought down Zane's little Fisher-Price record player that I had bought at a garage sale at the beginning of this summer. I was so excited when I found it because I used to play with this toy when I was little. It had all its records and was in good condition. I got it for a dollar :)

I had put it away so he could enjoy it once he was a little older, which I am glad I did because he is loving it like a new toy :) The sweet tunes that come of it are so dear. Makes me smile when I hear it playing. 

I hope everyone is doing well! We have had a fun and busy week.
 Decided to sell our bedroom furniture and got it sold and just bought a new dresser and started painting the bedroom YEAH!!

I will post the before and after soon!!

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Love

New Living Room Set Up

Well this is what I have to show for myself since I have been away so long, and yes praise the Lord, I found my camera!

Jon and I bought the white material for the curtains at Ikea. The white material are blankets we got for 7 dollars apiece. The black material we got at Hobby Lobby.

The Book case we also got at Ikea. I love the glass doors and the light up above.

My friend Julie got new curtains and she had the rings with the clip - ons and I just loved the look they gave. I found these clip - ons at Ikea.

We still want to make black pillows to go on the couch.

I have several posts to post so I should be getting back into the swing of things. I am so blessed to have my camera back. YEAHHHH!!!

Baby Dresser

I got this Dresser at the Goodwill for $40 

I went to check the Goodwill on my way to Sam's Club and I found this piece and the longer dresser that goes with it, (I didn't get that one) I put my name on this one just before a lady came to snatch it up:) She got the other one. I'm so happy about this dresser because It looks old and in good shape and also goes with the baby theme which is Safari.

Armoire Hunting

I have been on a quest for Armoires. I have been wanting one for our bedroom for awhile. Not that we can even handle it up the 2 stories of stairs in our condo. I have also been looking on Craigslist and there have been a few I have liked. 

We are going to sell our bedroom set and start looking for new furniture on Craigslist! I hope we can find pieces like these above!

New Table

I finally finished painting my round table! I love it a lot! It goes really well in my little morning room! This cat loves it also! I haven't finished puting away my books yet.

Sweet Jonathan

Jonathan has been helping me repaint a table that we bought for $40. last week!!! I will take some pictures of how it comes out latter! I plan to put it in my little morning room!!  Thank you Jonathan!

Couches Part 3

Now this is my kind of couch! I would love to own a couch like this!! I don't know if this would be considered a couch. More of a love seat, or lounge. I just need to see if Jonathan would like it. I guess I would have to come up with some money also. Hmmm Marie, should have thought of that before you started looking at furniture silly!!!

Couches Part 2

I don't know how much I like this couch. I like the size, I just don't know about the flowers. It is cute but not my favorite.

Couches Part 1

  I have been looking at a lot of furniture lately and I'm trying to get an idea of what I like and what goes together. I'm not sure how much I like this couch. I like the size but not the material. I love the black and white pictures behind the couch. 

Please stay tuned to see what else I find!
