3/15/10: We used our credit card rewards to buy more painting supplies. Daily total: $0.00.

3.17/10: We used the rest of our rewards to buy all the primer and the paint: Daily total: $ 122.27.

3/19/10: I bought some more picture frames. Daily Total: $13.13.

3/20/10: We bought a light fixtures, new outlet overs and some electrical supplies. We also rented the scaffold, washed walls and patched cracks. Daily Total: $130.74.

Now, we still need to custom frame some eagle prints that are going to run us a couple hundred dollars but, that is still redoing a dining room, a living room and a hallway for under $1000.00. Heck, I should be on one of those redecorae on a budget shows on HGTV:-)
