I think I got them at 50% off. I love it and the price is great. I love high quality/pricey items but love to bargain hunt. I love Ross, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Nordstrom Rack. I only use what I love (maybe that's why home is so minimalistic)?harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466015509376023315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-27646921066620746612010-08-20T10:24:37.795-04:002010-08-20T10:24:37.795-04:00I think I combine both.

I got my coffee table at GW because the little guy plays cars on top of it and the other boys (including hubs) may put their feet on top of it. For my bedroom set, I waited for what I really wanted.nina@themissadventuresofninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679333311052160580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-91695881074425241842010-08-19T22:34:49.897-04:002010-08-19T22:34:49.897-04:00Those were really great buys.

After saving for 5 years, I had the money to put on the 12 x 44 deck that I had always wanted there, and am SO glad I waited. You got some great deals though, so I can see why you gave in. I especially like the pillows - you can't make them for that! Have a great day!

Our home we are in now is our first home together and I bought the best deals but now that we are planning on building a new home, I definitely will be taking my time on my purchases and holding off until I can buy the things I really want.Jade @ Flip Flops + Pearls Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757051307528688273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-71556541645306903832010-08-19T09:24:26.431-04:002010-08-19T09:24:26.431-04:00Great question!

I think I'm in transition, when we bought our first home we had virtually nothing to put it in and I did a lot of purchasing of the best deals I could find. I still do that, but am also slowly being patient to find and save for items that really speak to me. <br /><br />BTW, your patio pieces look great and came with great prices!
