    Black Friday Goodness

    I managed to score some major Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals…I didn’t actually go to any stores, but the online deals were pretty good. I got all of my Christmas shopping done. I also snagged a few goodies for my house.

    I’ve been trying to get things in order for my holiday visitors, so room by room I’ve been trying to check things off my to-do lists. 

    I’ve started to address my bedroom issues, and today, I begin with the space beside my massive dresser.

    I managed to grab a little table from Target that was originally over $60, but was reduced to $34, and then I had 20% off and a gift card. It isn’t on the website anymore, but it’s a cute, sturdy little side table.

    I also got a slipper chair. Originally priced $179.99 and reduced to $129.99, and  I had 20% off. It’s still available as of today, and is still listed at the reduced price.

    It came in 2 parts in 2 boxes.

    All of the pieces come attached to the bottom of the seat of the chair that is hidden behind a cover (attached by Velcro along the sides.)

    Assembly was quick and easy. Well for the legs anyway. I ended up having to use my own self tapping screws to attach the back of the chair to the seat because the holes weren’t aligned properly, and I didn’t feel like drilling new ones.

    It’s a sturdy little chair and I love the print. It reminds me of a modern toile. I was expecting it to be white, but it’s more of a cream color…but it’s fine.

    I also got a great deal on window panels from West Elm. They were more grey than I was expecting, but the actually compliment my comforter better than I had hoped.

    I’m beginning to like the way my room is looking. Eventually I’ll choose paint colors for the house, but that’ll be last. Paint is powerful and I want to make sure I get it right.

    I want to add shelves and artwork above the chair…but that isn’t at the top of my to-do list in this room. I still need a vanity and a bedside table.

    That’s all for now. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
