My nearly finished dresser!  I'm so happy with it.  I want to paint some gold details on the bottom so it looks more cohesive, but I think it's gorgeous as is.   And to think it used to look like this:

I knew it had potential!

This is the gorgeous mirrored vanity that I really wanted:

I like mine almost as much as I like that one.  If the price wasn't $395 I probably would have gotten it too!  

It is used though, and such a hassle to get to.  If it goes on sale, who knows...I might take it home too.

Mirrored side board:  $35 (RSP:  $700+)

I've wanted mirrored furniture for a long time, but it's always so pricey.  I saw someone selling this on craigslist for $50, but they were open to offers...I offered $35 and they accepted!

It's from Urban barn, and the retail price would have been at least $700.  I've seen them for more than that!

It does have some cracks but most are easy to hide.  I replaced the knobs with crystals.  I'm so happy with this!

I'd like more mirrored furniture, so hopefully I'll find more deals soon!

Pink polka dot trash bin:  $2
Pink brush:  $2
Glass 550 ml container:  $2.50

All @ Dollarama

I've never been tempted by the trash bins at dollarama, but I couldn't resist this one!  It was the only one there, and of course I love pink.

It's the same reason I bought the brush...that was the only one there, and it's just so pretty!  I love the clear accents.

I've wanted to try out the glass containers there for a while.  It does actually seem to be airtight, so I'm going to buy the rest of the sizes soon!

Color life broom and dust pan set

Stone powder clay

Ramage dishwasher basket

Bear bento box

$2 each @ Daiso

I haven't seen that bear bento in a while, so I'm glad I managed to get one.  I think it was probably the last of some old stock...they only had three, and this is the only one that was still packaged.

Ceramic cat toilet brush set:  $26.39 @ Bed bath and beyond (RSP:  $32.99)

I used a 20% off coupon on this.  It was way more than I wanted to pay, but I've wanted it for over a year!  When I saw it in person, I was hooked...it looks even better when you see it in front of you.

It's actually pretty big/substantial and nicely sculpted.  It does look like a piece of art!  That kind of made it more worth the price, but I would have been happier paying less than $20.

Another L'occitane freebie!  They always seem to give away the same stuff, but at least there's a neat new pouch this time.

Kismet - Lena sweater:  $2.99 (RSP: $59.90)

Kismet - Louisa cardigan:  $.59 (!) (RSP:  $39.90)

Kismet - Lena sweater:  $2.99 (RSP: $59.90)

All @ Bootlegger

Nothing too exciting, but you can always count on them for cheap basics.

JYSK - Janette duvet cover:  $12.99 (RSP:  $19.99)

I've wanted this for a while, but the comforter I have now is nicer than this.  It was the perfect opportunity to use it as a sofa cover though!

My ugly sofa looks better than before, but I still want to get a nice sofa in the future.  Still, it's an upgrade for now.

JYSK - Pandora vanity:  $50 (RSP:  $199.99)

I've always wanted a cute vanity, and this one happened to be half off.  I wasn't sure about it because there was this gorgeous mirrored vanity that I was really interested in, but that one was way too expensive.  The sale was going to end soon, so I decided to go see it in person.

Well, it's even better in person!  I still was unsure whether it would be worth paying $100 for, since I thought I could probably get a free one if I waited long enough.  But in the end, it felt worth it.

It's kind of basic, but I think it's pretty cute.  I like the curved legs and the fact that it has so many drawers.

The only thing I didn't like was the mirror, so I had the idea to replace it with a bigger, more ornate mirror.  I knew it had potential!

The online tracker showed that it was in stock at my local store, but when I went to buy it, they said they actually JUST sold the last one!  I was thinking about preordering it, but I didn't want to wait 2 weeks...then the guy happened to  mention that they only had one with a broken mirror.

That was perfect since I already wanted to replace that part!  I asked if it was for sale, and he said yes...I asked the price, and he said he had to check.

When he came back and said $50, I couldn't contain my excitement!  It just seemed meant to be.

I spray painted it pink and replaced the knobs with crystals.  It already looked pretty great after that.

I just recently got the mirror I envisioned, and it looks sooo beautiful put together!  I'm so happy I decided to get this.  It looks so elegant in my room!

Cook N Home 12-Piece Stainless Steel Set - $69.99 @ Amazon.ca

I wanted some stainless steel pots, but all of the ones I could find locally were $20+ each.  This seemed like a steal in comparison!

It's lighter than some of the ones I've seen, but I prefer that.  I actually have seen ones just as light for twice the price.

I haven't used them yet, but they sure look nice!  They have really good reviews so I hope they work out.
