Remember our Garage Sale when we were in purge mode last year. And all the other stuff we sold. Well, we’ve broken down and decided to spend some of it. I had hoped to be in a permanent home before we did that, but circumstances require some shopping!
We are going to buy a TABLE for our tiny dining room. It’s got to be the right size and shape to work for the space, and I’m hoping it will leave enough room to put some sort of storage in their too as our kitchen is just unpleasant with all the clutter.
To do this and make the best use of our money, I am watching the local online sale sites and we are regularly visiting the ReStore. We are all pretty excited about making better use of the space and having somewhere to 1) eat together as a family that is not balancing plates on our knees in chairs and 2) spread out school and project work when needed.
SIDE NOTE: We originally had almost $5000 from all our downsizing and sales, but I dipped into that to help pay for our “new to us” car. (Yes, I know you want a post on that, and I will get to it.) So we have about $1800 left. But I think a table will run $130 or less for what we are looking for and we can get a few chairs at $20 or less each.
