Last week I picked up some discount furniture from a local furniture store that was having a grand opening sale. The store has been in business for about 9 years, but every 6 months or so they seem to have a new grand opening sale. I’ve never really stopped and checked out there selection until now. I’m glad I did, though. I found a couch, a love seat and a chaise for about 60% off regular price. My girlfriend was pretty excited when I called her.

I’ve been thinking about replacing my bar sink faucet for a while now, but I’ve never really had the time to go into a store and look around. I recently looked through Faucet.com and I really like the looks of several different bar faucets that they carry. I don’t usually like to order things like this online, but if I don’t order online I’ll never buy one.

Next week I’m going to be replacing one of my bathroom faucets. I was over at a friend of mines house and I noticed that he had a bathroom layout similar to ours, but his faucet made the bathroom look so much nicer. I haven’t talked with my girlfriend about it yet, but I think she’ll be pleasantly surprised when she sees it.

I recently purchased a small LCD TV and mounted it in my kitchen. My girlfriend has been watching the heck out of it while she cooks and does dishes and other things in the kitchen. I got the television for a very good price from a local electronics store that was going out of business. I wish I would have picked up a few more things before they closed, but It’s too late now.

We had owned all of our patio and outdoor furniture for a few years, so decided to buy all new for our patio and yard. We bought all teak furniture because of how well and strong it is made. It will last for many years and will not rot easily due to all different weather conditions. It is very solid wood. We have had to replace our furniture a few times and now will not have to for many years. We even got a 30 day warranty if we decided that we wanted to return it.

I recently purchased a home cheap to renovate and resell to make a profit on. I’m still not sure if I want to sell it to make money or rent it out to my grown children or others. One of the items I had to replace were the door locks and handles. I decided to buy a Schlage deadlock for the main front door. I also bought other door locks for the bedrooms and my back door. I bought the brand of Schlage for those as well. It seemed like a well made brand and the quality was great for the price it costs.

I am in the middle of adding some new motion sensor lights to the outside of my home. My girlfriend always hears noises outside and gets paranoid because it’s so dark out there and she thinks that someone is walking around. These lights should put her mind at ease. Well, unless there really is someone walking around, then she’ll just be that much more freaked.

A few weeks ago I replaced our bathroom fixtures. At first I was just going to replace the sinks, but then I decided to go ahead and replace the faucets and some other things as well. I added some new lighting to our main bathroom and it really seemed to change the whole look of the bathroom. After our best friends came over and saw the dramatic change, they’re going to remodel their bathrooms as well.

A friend of mine recently remodeled half of his house and ordered a bunch of new contemporary furniture. At first I didn’t really like the look of his furniture, but now I love it. If I wasn’t already spending so much money on other home improvement related items I would probably buy some all new furniture. Maybe next year I will take on that project.

My girlfriend and I are seriously looking into purchasing one of the hot tubs we’ve looked at. I mean it makes sense especially for those cold winter months and undeniably chilly spring months. She’s bent on me purchasing a brand new one but it seems that I’m the only one who is closely watching our finances. I saw a discounted store that sells one of the tubs that she liked and I’ll be spending my money on that one. She’ll think that I paid $5,000 instead of the discounted price of $2,000. Now here’s to hoping that she never finds my blog.
