Circulon Bakeware Sale on The Foundary -- EXPIRED!

This deal has now expired. Hope you snagged one!

Have you heard of One Kings Lane and The Foundary? They're daily deal websites like Groupon and Living Social, but they're home related. I've purchased some pretty cool stuff from these sites. The "catch" is that everything is only for sale for a limited time and at limited quantities. And since they're at limited quantities, what I post now, may not be available by the time you read this.

Are you sick of these deals yet?

I absolutely love my Circulon cookware and bakeware that I own. It was by far one of the best kitchen investments I've made...ever. When I saw that The Foundary had Circulon bakeware on sale today, I absolutely freaked out with giddiness (...who knew that was a word? it's not telling me to correct it...ha ha). Circulon products are soooo easy to clean. You'll love it.

The deal price and retail price difference isn't awesome like most deals, but it's enough to make me purchase these items I've been wanting to buy anyways. Especially with a flat rate shipping price of $5.95.

I bought...

12 Cup Muffin Pan $12 :: retail $17

9 x 5 in. Loaf Pan $9 :: retail $12

11 x 17 in. Cookie Pan $12 :: retail $17

Other items I already own (and love)...

9 x 13 in. Rectangular Cake Pan $12 :: retail $17

10 x 15 in. Cookie Pan $10 :: retail $14

9 in. Round Cake Pan $9 :: retail $12

9 in. Square Cake Pan $9 :: retail $12

And there are more deals available as well.

Project 5: Upgrading Living Room Furniture

With some of our wedding money, we decided to make some much needed furniture upgrades in the living room.

To see what the living room looked like previously, click here.


New TV stand (from Smith's Marketplace) and media towers (from IKEA) for the BluRays and video games. Unfortunately IKEA didn't have a color to match the rest of our furniture in these towers, so we just went with white.






I love the keys and stack of books...I just had to show you again. =]


And there's our circus pup that just had to have a picture too.




I bought these itso fabric bins to hold video game accessories from Target. They come in a variety of colors and sizes.


All of our DVDs are in DVD books. The top one holds TV seasons, the middle one holds all adult movies (not X-rated...ha ha), and the bottom one holds kids movies.



We got this office shelf/filing drawer combo from Target. It's made by Room Essentials, but it's not available on their website for me to link to. I've been wanting a lateral filing cabinet for a while now, but they're so expensive. When I found this at Target, I decided it was perfect because I really only need one filing drawer (that I don't even fill right now).






My mom got me this HP Digital Picture Frame for a bridal shower gift. It's 10.4" -- I had no clue they made them that big. I don't have it on because I didn't have a memory card for it (it has internal memory, but I want to load it with tons of pictures)...until today. My 16 GB memory card just came in the mail, so I'll let ya know how it works.


And I just wanted to show you...this is a mug that I bought from The Foundary a few weeks ago. I don't really have room for it in my cupboard because I brought all of my dishes and what-not from PA...and I bought it before I knew I was going to do that. So for now it's holding some flowers. =]

Project 4: Organizing Under the Bathroom Sink

Things are finally cleaned up around here and I'm back to working on projects around the house.

After returning with more than I left with, personal product wise, the cabinets under my bathroom sink were about to explode. Plus add in the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale...that just adds more to what I already have too much of.


I bought the metal buckets, plastic pails, striped boxes, and mini metal pails from the Target dollar section (seen above and below).


I decided it was time to get rid of the makeup bag and put my rarely used cosmetics in a more accessible area/containers.





I consolidated as much as I could and threw out all of the expired and I'll-never-use-it stuff.


A new home for my cosmetics.


And I went from a big candle jar to a small pail to hold my earrings.
