Weigh-In, Pumpkin Muffins, & Mini House Tour



Had the day off today so I did some baking and cleaning. These pumpkin muffins turned out delicious!

Weigh-In
Lost: 0 pounds

At least I didn't gain any!


My husband I are very lucky in that we get a lot of free furniture from friends and family. The only pieces of furniture we bought in the 4 1/2 years we've been together are two couches. Not only has most of our furniture been free, a lot of it is antiques, score!!


We got this dresser from his parents. They said it was probably made in the 1930's. Look at the awesome vintage paper I found in one of the drawers. I want to make something with it!











This is a dry sink that we got from my husband's grandmother when she passed. I'm not sure how old it is, but they used it before their plumbing.









This is another piece from my husband's grandmother. 



The flag is my husband's grandfathers for his service.

My grandma gave me this piece. It's supposed to a kitchen cabinet, but I put it on my nightstand to give me some extra storage. I love the vintage flowers on it.



We keep things simple at our house. We're not too picky, which is important if you want to have free furniture. Our house does have a country feel to it. Lot's of brown and red. It's not what I pictured my house to look like, but I like it!

  3. Yeah not gaining is good. I have those weeks where I think I didn't loose anything, then I weigh later and i did. Water weight or whatever.
    I had a dresser just like in the first picture growing up. It is still at my moms house. And of course the flag is amazing. thanks for sharing!
