I recently found a post on Craigslist for a Hairpin Leg maker.  I was curious why anyone would want hairpin legs,  but after a quick Google search, I was sold!

Yahoo! Hairpins! I decided to try my hand at finding  an old piece of wood today, just waiting to be reclaimed to greatness.  So, with great help from the JAZ team, we found this beaut at our local ReStore!  All 10 feet for $3.25, and a pretty teal blue too!

Can you see the potential?  Time to order my hairpins…

Now onto another fabulous find of the day during our daily trip to Target.  If you remember, part of our boys’ room makeover includes stripes on the bed.  Origionally, I had these stripes from West Elm in mind.

West Elm – $80

But today, we randomly walked past the bedding aisle, at Target, and found almost the same duvet (same looking, different fabric) for about $60 cheaper!  When you consider that buying the duvet from West Elm means purchasing all bedding pieces separately, it adds up.  These we found today were all-inclusive (duvet, shams, etc.)  And, when you have to buy two of everything, this find chalks up to A W E S O M E! in my book.

Target – $20

This duvet from Target is from their Room Essentials line, in case you are wondering…

And, lastly, on to an unrelated subject of sorts: Arizona.  Being that the weather is cold, rainy, sleety, and windy today, I caught myself looking at our photos from our  Arizona Spring Break trip.

Crazy Agave?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Me, laying by the pool...

On that note, have a great week!
