My Domestic Tuesday

 This is our very pretty shower curtain-and it was FREE!  My roommate got it for free at a garage sale-just because it had a small spot of mildew on it-all it took was a tiny bit of scrubbing, then washing it to get rid of it!
 This is our TV, movie collection, and the Christmas tree that I just put up!  It makes me so happy to see it.
 Here is my little sewing area.  I have my mom's old sewing machine (hopefully I'll be getting a new one for Christmas) my sewing "kit" that is actually a tackle-box (which is cheaper than buying an organizer at a craft store).

The plaid triangle in the front is going to be a 'kerchief for my "niece".  My niece is a yellow lab adopted by my brother and his girlfriend.
 Here is our couch, with pillows and blanket (that is very warm and cozy on chilly nights).

The pillow with the doll on it is actually a Quillow that my grandma made for me.

This is our futon, with pillows and a quilt my grandma made for me too.  It is made out of t-shirts from high school activities and college activities.
 Some artwork on our walls.  The big blue one is one that my roommate did in one of her art classes at the university.  The 4 small ones I got on clearance at Target for about $3.


Our stove and our "spice rack".

The "wisdom" sign I got at a garage sale for a quarter.  Then our spices, they were all just crowded on the back of the stove, but I got a little rack at Goodwill to create some more room and keep them slightly more organized.

Another painting by my roommate in our kitchen.  It reminds me of a strawberry in the corner.

Before I did the dishes.


Some photos I have taken-pearls, my mom's dog, sunset at a campground, and an artistic shot of a tree trunk.

More photos-the top one is the original.  The bottom 2 were ones that I played with the colors and they turned out really neat.

Photo shoot with the cast of a play that I helped with the costumes.
 Our lovely mirror right by our front door. 
 After I washed the dishes!

I organized our table as best I could-but we just have a lot on the table.
 Our collection of cookbooks.

Our microwave and miscellaneous storage, Tupperware storage, and hand towel storage.
Our bathroom, it's pretty small. So there's not a whole lot we can do with that.

  1. It was so neat to get a glimpse into your house like this. I have to commend your frugality as well! That shower curtain was a nice find. :)
