The house progress

Hubs and I decided the other day that we need a new dining room table and now was the time to buy one. I worked until 2 yesterday and Hub's was off, so he picked me up and we went to Dodd's as they were having a huge 14hr furniture sale that ended that day. Lets just say we scored big while we were there. We went in for a dining room table and ended up buying a table and 6 chairs with a built in leaf (that hides under the table so you dont have to remove it all the time) for almost have price, a brand new bed for 70% off, a leather headboard and footboard, as well as a new mattress cover for the bed. We are so excited, our bed and head/footboard arrive tomorrow and they bring it in and set it up and the table should arrive in May. Our old bed will now go in the second bedroom and become a guestroom for the time being.

We also ran in to one of Hub's old friends while we were at the mall (They live a few hours away) so we decided to meet for breakfast today and hang out for a bit. We made plans to go up and see them in a couple months as they are expecting their first baby in July. We also got a bunch of unpacking done. We still have a ways to go but its getting better and we emptied a bunch of boxes.

Today we returned our old master bathroom vanity mirror because it was chipped and the doors were all crooked on it (it was an all glass front one). We ended up going to Andrew Sheret, which is a higher end bathroom store in our area. We planned on getting a mirrored vanity there but the cheapest ones they had were like $550 before tax, which is a lot more then we were willing to spend. We looked around some more and decided to go with a tilting round mirror  and a glass shelf for underneath. It's going to look awesome and we spent less money then we did on the cheap one.

Tomorrow we plan on doing some more unpacking and getting ready for the new bed.
