Sometimes secondhand stores have NEW stuff. A few months ago I got all NEW lampshades for every lamp in my house. My old ones were really old, dusty and discoloured. I got all new ones for less than the price of one in a retail store. Of course once you start with the lamp everything around it grabs your attention. I started washing down furniture and giving it a good wipe down with orange oil. One thing leads to another.

For the past few months I have been steam cleaning all my carpets. NOW I am thinking of new runners for my hallway. The old ones didn't match and they'd about had it.
