Redecorating Gone Wild

This redecorating bug is getting really expensive. Sold the old dining room set for $500 (originally about $1200 5 years ago), 3 piece blue colored sofa set for $500 (originally $1500 3 years ago), and entertainment unit for $200 (originally $1000 5 years ago) all to an office colleague. Still could stand to get rid of another sofa set and cocktail table set and accessories but haven't been able to part with it just yet. We've transitioned from a light woods and contemporary look to darker woods and Asian-inspired look. The master bedroom is going to be "West Indies" plantation style. All said and done this will cost about $20k in furnishings for a dining room, living room and master bedroom. We'd better not get tired of this stuff anytime soon. (Yeah, and I passed the real estate broker's exam!)

Friday:
$0 brought lunch
$24 dinner for 2 at China Palace (saved $10 with Entertainment card)
$130 2 nights reservation at 4* Hilton resort in Phoenix through Priceline (saved $180 off internet rate)

Saturday:
$0 leftovers for lunch
$5375 complete bedroom set (cash price with delivery and setup)
$76 clothes at Off 5th Avenue

Sunday:

$20 aquarium screensaver
$150 upstream DVD player for new plasma TV
$0 went shopping for dining room set in Long Beach and LA but struck out
