Here are some of my finds from last week:
Two framed botanicals for two dollars each. The frames need a little care but I love how large and beautiful they are.
A four dollar, perfectly primed and ready to paint, plant stand. Isn't it gorgeous? Can't you just see it topped with a luscious fern, or for fall, a large pumpkin with autumn leaves draping down.
And last the best of all the game, this Honey-I'm-not-sure-where-we'll-put-it-but-how-could-I-pass-up-this-gorgeous-Ralph-Lauren-twenty-five-dollar-sofa.
Actually I'm thinking of cleaning out an area of our unfinished basement for a "reading room". Being the only female in a house with a hubby who likes talk tv and three sons who love guitar hero, I need a pretty, little quiet place of my own.

Love the plant stand! And the couch looks great!
Wow ~ you've got some great finds there! I love the pictures and the plant stand. The couch looks in pretty good shape, too.
Holy crud! So insanely jealous of that couch find that I can hardly breathe.
I hear ya sister! Every woman NEEDS ( not just a want here...) A place of her own to retreat off to!! I do love the plant stand! And I so would have gotten the sofa if I would have seen it first! LOL

Great deals! That sofa was a steal!
Darling couch! Did you find it online or in a thrifty store? I do wish you'd let me in on which thrift store you shop at!! (Exact locations!!)
$25 sofa?? Seriously, I never find deals like that. Great job.
You had me at the gorgeous tall plant stand and then my jaw dropped on that couch!
You get the big puffy gold star this week:)
That couch is great! I especially love that candle stand. I like your ideas for it too.
Oh wow! I was going to comment on the candle stand, then I saw the sofa! What an awesome deal! You absolutely HAD to buy that! I hope you get your girly space!

Love the plant or pumpkin stand. It would look great black! and you so didn't get a Ralph Lauren couch for 25 bucks? STEAL! love the couch. Great finds!
WOW! You sure did score some GREAT finds!!
I LOVE that couch. It is beautiful. I wouldn't have left it in the store either!
I can't believe that couch, it's fabulous, and for $25!!!
I wouldn't have been able to pass up the couch either. And you definitely need a space of your own.
I want that sofa. Slap a stamp on it and send it my way. ;)
That couch is a fabulous find and yes, every woman should have her estrogen cave (or at least space)!
unbelievable...a couch like that for $25.00! Oh, and I LOVE the fern stand.
I can't believe you found that sofa for $25!! Wowsa, what a deal. You can eventually recover it & still have a deal, but the fabric is even pretty.
Oh my WORD...you find the BEST deals!!! LOVE that beautiful sofa! I think a little reading room sounds perfect!!
That couch is making me salivate!
Great deals! I love that couch,your right you do need a place all to yourself.

Your sofa is fab - and I agree, buy now, figure out where to put it later! Your botanicals look like some I bought at a thrift store (2 for $4). Does it say "Redouté" anywhere on the bottom left? He was a well known Frenchman who did these botanicals some time back in the 1800's I think (or earlier, I've forgotten). Anyway, they sell on Ebay for $5 and up apiece unframed. The red ones are especially popular and inclined to cost more. Remember, that does not include shipping, sooooooo you got a great deal! Linda
Accckkkkkk...that sofa is absolutely FAB! And for only 25 smackers? What a deal. I am also in love with that plant stand...I'm envisioning a big white pumpkin with your monogram on top. I am soooo ready for fall!

ok, so WHERE do you find all these great finds? I'm not seeing this great of stuff at my local thrift stores/garage sales :)
Joy are you sure you don't want to sell your couch for a profit?? :) I'm completely serious, I love that couch. If so, contact me jthesavage (at) gmail.com
I wish I were as creative and domestically gifted as you and Ali!!! We hosted your lovely daughter and her kind husband in our home, and at my request she completely rearranged my living room and kitchen and made coherent use of my random decorations. I LOVE IT!!!! I aspire to making my home as warm and inviting a place as yours looks! Thanks for your inspiration and the talent you passed along to Ali!
That sofa was a STEAL!!
I was thinking you'd hit the jackpot with the plant stand, but then the sofa too! fabulous!
Awesome score with the couch. I wouldn't have been able to pass it up either!
Wow, you scored a $25 couch! You lucky dog!
I would sit on that couch in the garage if I had to...I think it;s great!
I love the sofa! I have a friend who made a "quiet room" in her basement. No kids or husbands allowed. She also hung a cute chandelier and put in a small desk area so she could write notes, get on the computer or do some scrapbooking. She loves it because she closes the door and has her own retreat!
