Dim Lighting For The Bedrooms

Tiffany lamp.
I bought this Tiffany multi-colored floral table lamp from an online garage sale last year for $12.  It is 12 inches high and the shade is 6 1/2 wide.  The metal base is quite heavy and the shade is very solid. It looks really neat in my guestroom for dim lighting. 'Looks cute, too.

If you want dim lighting in your bedrooms, you might want to consider buying a Tiffany lamp.

My New Glass Top End Table

So in this online garage sale, I was able to find new furniture for my house.  To be specific, I bought a new end table for my living room.  Originally, I would have had a coffee table and an end table.  But I realized that my little one needs space to play in the living room and I don't want her to be bumping on the corners, I decided to just buy the end table for $30.  The seller was originally selling the set for $150, $100 for the coffee table and $50 for the end table.  They were both glass tops. I tried making offers.  And I also asked if she could sell separately hence I was only needing the end table.  I waited about three weeks for the deal to close because she was waiting for the other buyer's commitment to buy the coffee table.  Luckily, it turned out well. 
I was so happy !

So here's my new glass top end table.  I grabbed the opportunity to buy it because I like glass top furniture.  The glass is very thick and heavy. The base is made of solid wood in cherry finish which adds to the attraction (to me).  And furniture is still in excellent condition.

Wall Decor For Sale On Garage Sales

Since I joined this online garage sale on Facebook, I had a few disappointments.  Buying an item is not like bidding.  You have to bargain from the asking price.  And if you're lucky that the seller accepts, you are responsible to pick up the item.  If the seller wants to get the full asking price, well you have to think many times if you really need it.

I said that I had disappointments and one of them was when I expressed an interest on two wall sconces.  The seller said they are still available.  So I asked her if I can take the sconces at a lower price.  She agreed.  But then somebody expressed an interest on them and willing to pay the asking price.  The seller went ahead and sold the sconces to the second buyer.  I was so upset.  The buyer didn't even asked me.  Oh, well.  So I just waited for someone to sell wall sconces online.  After a couple of weeks, I think, someone posted her wall decor for sale.  And she had four sconces!  I commented on the photo telling her that I want those.  Of course, I offered to pay a lower price.  She hasn't responded yet.  I really like the sconces though.  We'll see...
