Good Buys at Wal-Mart?

We moved into our brand new house at the beginning of May. Brand new houses are great and all but a little too empty for my liking. I didn't notice it so much in our old house (also brand new) but I think that's because back then I wasn't as into interior design as I am now. I look back at old pictures of the old house and hate how plain and empty everything all looks so I was determined to quickly fix that in the new house. Of course, that all takes a lot of $$, especially when it's all done at once... so bargain hunting it is!

One place that I've been surprisingly happy with is Wal*Mart, which is funny because as a rule, I can't stand the place. Yet I've managed to get some cute (and cheap!) buys there.

This mirror. It fits perfectly with the theme of our house but cost only $39! (Excuse my look!)

The TV stand. So it may not be the best looking but it does the trick and has enough cubby holes for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, games, controllers and anything else my husband has to have. Only $119! (picture was taken not long after we moved in so excuse the mess!)

The vase and twigs. I needed some green in this room to liven it up a bit but I suck at keeping house plants alive. Vase was $4.97, twigs were $2.97. Total: $7.94!

Mirror. Definitely not the nicest out there but it hangs with less damage to the wall than IKEA ones and it does the trick. I can successfully see my whole outfit before I leave the house. A steal at $9.97! (Picture was taken not long after we moved in so excuse the mess!)

As much as I hate Wal*Mart, I can't help but love the price of the things I found there.... so even though I try to avoid it whenever possible I now know that it doesn't have to be complete torture and I might get something out of it.
