Craft Room & Shopping: Getting Closer to having a Craft Room & Saving Money

Yesterday, Mr. B and I went to Home Depot to get the lumber that we needed for our projects in the Entryway & Craft Room.  It smells good in the house...maybe they can make a Plug-in smell like
 Fresh Lumber.
We had to laugh because when we were cutting some of the wood there {because you can pay by the foot}, on the cutting table someone wrote:
"God, save me from my wife".
Someone must have been having a hard time. :)
In the craft room we are going to do the Board & Battan style.  I just leaned the strips of wood to check it out.  I tried to mark where the wall wasn't there before and was just open to the entryway. 
Still trying to find a wall color...

I saved over $522.00 dollars today buying all of these clothes from The Children's Place & Gymboree.
I only paid $140 for all of this.  It sounds like a lot still, but I was buying for 4 kids, too!

At the Children's Place, I didn't spend over $3.99 on any of these items {plus my sister let me borrow her 15% off coupon}.  Gymboree was a little bit more, but still a great price {40%, plus an additional 20%}.
Most of all the clothes I bought are for the kids for in the fall/winter this year.  I went first thing this morning and knew 4 gals shopping there...the word gets around fast!

    Have you seen the trunks with feet added to the bottom of them to turn them into a table? Super CUTE...Good luck!

  3. No 140 is a great deal for everything you got. It adds up so fast when you have lots of kids to buy for.

    My husband was actually the Aggie. If I could do it again though I would have gone to Utah State.

    have a great night!

  4. How do you know what size they're going to be??

    As for the trunks, paint them a more neutral cocoa color or even lighter and use them to store your larger craft items like your cricut.
