{SweetTalk Shop} Home Improvements

Mr.B and I received a grill for Christmas from my parents.  YAY us!!

I know it's not the actual day, but Lowe's was having a sale and we got to pick it out!

So Friday we went to Lowe's to check them out and see if we wanted a new fandangled one. 

 Personally I think it is a man thing to want to check out grills. 

I mean really, you throw the meat on there, let it burn a little to give it some flavor and there you have it!!

DINNER!!!


Then we went towards the back and there were tables set up with items discounted, and the manager

 discounting things you picked up and were interested in even more.  So we got a light for outside.

It is LED and Rob (Lowe's Manager) assured me that the lamp would wear out and be out of style before

 the lights burned out!!  $17 and I never have to buy light bulbs and he says it uses only a small amount of

energy.


I spotted some Plantation White wooden blinds that we needed for our sons rooms. We got some a few

 years back that only fit in the tall windows of their rooms. So they each had one plantation set of blinds and

one mini blind set in either navy or green. We weren't really sure of the size and passed them up, they were

marked $20. Once we got home we decided to measure the windows to see if the blinds would fit and they

 would have been a perfect fit.  So we drove back to Lowe's and the Manager marked them down to $7 a

set just to be rid of them.  What a steal!!!

We also found some solar powered

yard stake lights to line the walk way. These were also a steal at $8 for the set of 8 in Bronze.



Then the manager told us that other lighting would be on sale the next morning starting at 7am.  Well usually

Saturdays are my days to sleep in after rising at 5:15 am during the week, but I have been in need of a new

foyer light. I've had this one since we moved in the house back in 1994.


Very dated!!!

I have been wanting something that went more with our new decor which has a tuscan feel.

 I am not an interior decorator and can not tell one era from another when it comes to furniture or decore.  I

just know what I like, and I like what I saw!! And at $10 why wouldn't I??



Mr.B rids the ceiling of the 17 year old light.

And proceeds to ask??? What are you doing??? 

Me: Taking your picture to put on the World Wide Web!! LOL

Blogger friends, do your husbands understand the need to photograph everything??  I think Mr.B is getting

used to it, but I wonder sometimes.



And here it is!! I'm so happy with our home improvements!!

Merry Christmas to us!!
