Sweet Finds

You know that awesome feeling when you get a really awesome deal on something or find something cute for really super cheap, well I had the opportunity to have this kind of experience yesterday!

SO I have not been shopping in FOREVER, mostly because money is tight right now (such is the life of a newly wed couple) and good shopping is a half hour away from Rexburg in Idaho Falls.

Anyways, I finally got out of Rexburg and ventured out to I.F. with my good friend Kari. We ended up leaving at around 8 a.m. and then got to the D.I. at around 9, but they weren't open until 10! So then we went to this other 2nd hand store and found some sweet stuff for our houses!!! It is amazing what you can find at places like that. Anyway, I don't have pics of the stuff but you will just have to take my word for it, it rocks! 

Here is a list of some of the stuff I got (just in case you were wondering) :

Jacket for Dom ($3.50, not second hand but BRAND NEW from Old Navy, right now all of the mens clearance is an additional 50% off, amazing.)
3 pillar candle holder (9.00, regularly $20-25 i'm sure)
Curtain rod ($1.50, even at ross they were still like $18)
White Vase ($1.00)
4 Pillar candles, 2 round and two square ($2 each, all brand spankin new! and they smell really good, vanilla)
Picture Frame ($0.75)
2 Shirts for me (Brand new from Old Navy also, $5.00 each)
Glass mini-hurricane candle holder ($1.00)
And a couple other things I cant remember at the moment. 

Needless to say I had a BLAST (Kari, you are amazing!)

P.s. in case you were wondering, we DID do something for lovers day, but I have been too busy to put pictures up but don't you worry, they will come!

Home Sweet Home

So we finally finished decorating our apartment (Okay well like a month ago, but I have just been too lazy to put pictures up) in good old Rexburg, Idaho. Thanks to everybody who helped us out! (Cough, Dom's parents, cough) without you guys, we would not have such a sweet apartment and we would probably be sleeping on a blow up mattress as we speak.

So, I just have to put a little disclaimer down before you see any pictures. Our apartment is pretty old, we love it, it is a perfect place for us to start out (and it is dirt cheap!) But, don't mind the baseboard heaters or the carpeted kitchen, it is all part of the experience :) We are just dang lucky that our bathroom isn't carpeted too, Yikes!

Our Kitchen! Oh baby, check out that carpeted floor.
The Kitchen "bar"The Living Room
Thanks to Domenic's Brother Joe for the coffee table and couch, and his parents for the T.V. and brown leather chair.
In-between the living room/ dining room
The Front door (Okay the only door)The Living Room
The Bathroom
The shower curtain is brown, green, and creme. That is kind of the theme we were going for in here.
The Master Bedroom
The Spare Room Take 1
The bed belongs to my sister and brother in law, who conveniently live one floor below us in the same apartment complex! So much fun.
The Spare Room Take 2
The Dresser wouldn't fit into our bedroom so we decided to put it it the spare room. It actually works really well. Just a suggestion for anybody who has little room, get hanging closet organizers! They save so much space, we have two of them in our master bedroom closet and love them!Sorry a lot of the pictures are blurred, stupid camera, what can you do?
