Random Goodies

-Just in case you are wondering where I have been all week, I have been covered in paint. I finally made myself finish painting the living room and den. I am so happy to have that behind me. I hosted a girl's night friday night so that was pretty good motivation. Pics to come next week.

- I helped my MIL spruce up her living room this week. I have found that I really like helping people work with what they have.You don't have to spend a lot of money to update your home, you just have to get a little creative. I think I am going to start offering some design services (with extremely low rates) in the near future to help people with this. If you have a room that you need some help sprucing up send me your pics and I'd like to help you. Until I get rates set up I'd be happy to take on a few free rooms. Email me for details.

- I ordered the brown/cream chevron fabric and it came in this week. I'm really excited about having new curtains in the dining room. Realistically, it may be a few weeks before I can actually get started.

- I found a link to get a free Valspar Paint SAMPLE, complete with roller, tray, and $5 coupon. I haven't started painting upstairs yet, so that coupon may come in handy.

- Here are some GREAT free printables. I am sure that several of them will be showing up in my house soon.

- Please come "like" nikki's nacs on facebook. I post links to local craigslist finds that I think are good finds, links for free printables that I come across, and other random stuff that doesn't make the blog.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
