Decorating On A Budget... Dining Room

Today I continue to bring home my ABM House Tour, 
and share all the details with you- my lovely readers!
Our home has been furnished and decorated on a very tight budget.
Its half the fun for me; to be able to find things I love without spending our life savings. :) 
So I will share where I got everything and how much it cost, 
to show that it doesn't cost a fortune to have lovely things! 
Enjoy! :)

Sooo, everything you see in these here dining room pics cost me a grand total of $367.50!! 

Like I said before...

 I had to wait for each piece. For a few years I had a table that I really didn't like, and a pile of wobbly mismatched chairs. But it was worth the wait! The set we have now is perfect for our growing family, and all of the company we always have!

Thanks for reading!!
