Look What I Found At the Walmart!
*** Updated with Pictures ****

Oh do I have something fun to share today! This is a project I have been working on, saving for, and if I'm really honest putting off dealing with since last July.

It all started when I took Jackson to get his driver's license last summer. The line was in one word- obnoxious. Seriously. I signed him in, found out about the 2 hours wait and devised a plan.

"Honey, you sit here and listen for your name. I'm going to run next door to the SUPER WALMART... love that store from the bottom of my heart. When you see that your number is getting close to coming up on that screen, call me on my cell and I'll scoot right back over here. "

Well, when I walked into the Walmart and knew I had close to 2 hours to kill, I started to meander in parts of the store that I usually don't have time for. Y'all I think that a fancy smancy designer person has been hired by the corporate Wally World. Because what I found made my heart beat fast.

I almost started moon walking straight down the aisle.

Now, I hate to leave you hanging... really I do. But I've got to get the kids to school. I don't think it would look too good to sign them into the school office late with the excuse that I was blogging.

However, I will back--- with pictures--- in just a few minutes!


I'm back and I have one thing to say before getting to my big Walmart find... today some people that I love very much got on the last good nerve that I had in my body. I even made them eggs today people. Homemade eggs with frozen baked biscuits. Don't ask what other kind of eggs are there rather than homemade. Remember I've used up my last good nerve today. Sorry... I had to get that off my chest.
Okay... back to what I found!!!
Stuff to decorate my bedroom. Beautiful, expensive looking, but really inexpensive bedroom decor. I'm telling you the minute I saw it my heart started singing. So, since last July I have been slowly collecting things, buying things, and waiting.

Now, without further ado, I present to you- The bedroom by Walmart...

All of the bedding, pillows, curtains and curtain rods are all from Walmart. Can you believe it???

The scrollie thing above the window had to be purchased to cover up some oopsie holes in the wall from another one of my brainstorm projects gone bad. I found those on clearance at Kirklands.
The lamps I got buy one get one free at Hobby Lobby.

This table I got at a junk store for $25. The chairs I found at an outlet store with no air conditioning. The salesman was overheated that day and gave me the chairs at a steal of a deal. The pillows are from Walmart.

I'll spare you the painful details of how many bags of junk that had to be cleared from my bedroom. Sad to say, my room seems to have been dubbed the catch all room for quite some time now.

Not any longer! When Art came home he was shocked. And when I told him most everything came from Walmart he was thrilled.

Dear Fancy Smancy Designer Person on staff at Walmart:

Thank you for making pretty stuff that people can afford. If you want to pay me for my advertising, I would love to talk. Really, you could send me some stuff to give to my bloggy friends and everyone would be very pleased. Then you could have many more women doing the moon walk in the aisles of your store and the world would be such a happy place.

Have your people call my people.
