Last week my thrifty Thursday project was this room redo for our children:

This past weekend I went on a roadtrip to north Alabama. Our destination was the Crow Mountain Orchard, which I shared about earlier this week. Along the way, we stopped at Hammer's Stores in small towns. I like to refer to it as the "Hammer's World Tour". We do this tour from time to time. Its much fun. Hammers is a small country town general store, it first opened in 1942. In the beginning, Hammer's sold primarily salvage and bankruptcy items. As times changed, the Hammers' salvage business changed and they began selling off-price goods including name brand irregular items, closeouts and special buys. From designer duds to candles, jams and jellies, work boots and sewing notions...it has a little bot of everything. What is doesnt have, big city prices!

Case in point, my Thrifty Thursday item this week:

I found this 5x7 foot zebra stripe rug for....get this......$5.68 !!!!

It is a "second item". My rug had a "bad area" running through one end of it, a strip of binding glue.

For $5.68, I laid the rug at an angle, that small thred hidden under the futon.
And wahla!

$5.68! LOVE!

Tablescape Thursday

My tablescape this week includes those neutral colors I love. Food is the allowed the focus.
Yum!
