It would probably be too boring for other people but, it's great fun for me. I am proud of how little I have spent to create this warm, homey, stylin & cute environment in the cabin. I want to make a list of how much I've spent on the all the stuff I can recall. "Never buy retail," was the mantra I grew up with. It is one value from my childhood that I have never even tried to slough off! Nothing thrills me more than a deal.
