Fab Finds and a Little HGTV

HGTV.com in my case. We found this chair while on our walk a few months ago. Seriously, it was sitting on the side of the street with a sign "take me home," so we did. Husband was not too happy when I told him we'd be taking it. I don't know why he was complaining. He only had to carry it four blocks. I love it. It is comfy, swivels, AND rocks. Awesome! But it was not my favorite shade of green. So....I painted it. I'm not totally loving the white. What do you think? I think it needs a pale shade of turqoise. It's hard to tell from the pic but the arms are stained dark mahogany color. I don't know. Maybe I'll leave it white and get a bigger pillow. Any suggestions?

And since Marshall's is next to Home Depot (where I got the paint), I had to take a look. My dad hates Marshall's and Ross. He says it's like shopping at a giant garage sale. Which is exactly why I love it! Look what I found today....

Turquoise throw $7.00
April Cornell cups $1.00 a piece.
Shoes and a sweatshirt for Little Miss $8.00.

The feeling I get when I find an awesome deal. Priceless.
