Between all our home improvement projects, we take a lot of trips to the home improvement store.

My husband and I ran into Lowes on Saturday to pick up wallpaper removal stuff.

Most retail stores are in transition from holiday to spring merchandise, but I was surprised at how much stuff was on clearance.

I scored a real sisal rug for my dining room($24.99) and a couple of Greek Key pillows ($6.98).

I also saw some awesome cream and black embroidered curtains.

If I had needed curtains they definitely would have come home with me.

Go check out the clearance sections at your Lowes. It was definitely worth the time.
