Savvy Savings!

Lilly's Christmas gift this year from us is a transformation of her play room wall.  We will be taking one wall and transforming it into a magnetic/chalkboard wall (this will rid our poor fridge of all the magnets and avoid the need to buy an easel that will just take up more space).  So, tonight Lilly and I ventured out to Home Depot to get the paint and supplies needed for her room.  We picked up the magnetic paint and the chalkboard paint then the salesman offered me whatever paint I wanted in the cart in front of the paint center for FREE!  My mom and I had ideas on repainting parts of the house but we hadn't gotten around to it since she hadn't been feeling well and well, new paint just wasn't in our budget.  I looked at the colors available and they were very similar to the colors my mom and I had picked out.  So, tonight I left with 12 GALLONS of paint, 2 quarts of paint, and 5 sample colors of paint for FREE! 

It was just perfect timing as Bryan had actually stopped into Home Depot last night to look at the paint and it wasn't available.  I was actually told that the corporate office was coming in tomorrow and that all of that paint had to be gone so gone it went!  I will definitely post up some pics of our newly painted rooms throughout our home as we get them done!
