Laminate Or Carpet Flooring

Posted by Trendy Chick on April 15th, 2010

Laminate flooring is my favorite !  it’s easy to clean and definitely cheaper than carpeting or any kind of flooring.  I also love the warm color of laminates – you can choose from dark brown right up to the lightest brown.  I also heard that there are different colors now with laminate – click here [...]

Posted by Trendy Chick on April 12th, 2010

Arty farty things are the stuff i liked – but for $145 for this – ohhh! it breaks my heart to have to spend so much for a lamp like that.  Given it is a designer lamp but – but !  my spouse would probably divorce me – hahah! I saw this lamp while looking [...]

Posted by Trendy Chick on April 5th, 2010

A customer was in today and i had joked with him about spending some money at our store – he told us earnestly that he and his wife were saving every penny he’s got – to beat the deadline for April 19th 2010.  I asked him what deadline and apparently, effective 19 April this year [...]

Housewarming

Posted by Trendy Chick on April 1st, 2010

Someone asked me over at Facebook what a good housewarming gift is?  Now that was a good question because if you asked me about getting some coach gifts i’m pretty good with it because my kid is in sports big time.  We’ve bought gifts for all their coaches all the time – but when it [...]

While helping a dear friend with her son’s graduation announcements I did a little scavenger hunt myself and found this gem – a Crate and Barrel Vendome Bed for only $300.  Now that’s a really good buy and if only I was in the States and not in Canada – I would be the first [...]

Posted by Trendy Chick on March 21st, 2010

A curio cabinet for only $200 is a steal – now if only we haven’t bought one for the in-laws a few years ago – this would have been perfect for her.  $200 is really too good to say no – i will give up my best wrinkle cream if i had to  – to [...]

This antique dresser is made with a marble top and i am in love with it – but seller wants about $300 for it and I’m just not willing to part with so much money.  But such a rare find and what a pity that I can’t get it – so here i am reading [...]

Found these antique pitcher and basin in a yard sale and just had to get it.  I don’t know what I can use it for but you don’t see stuff like these anymore – I would have loved to get the pink one but it didn’t come with a basin – so i figured it [...]
