I’m In The BLOGLIGHT!!!!!
Mo Money, Mo Problems (and the Aqua Chalky Painted Table)
Last week, the child that wishes to remain anonymous and I were watching a TV show about ridiculously wealthy teenagers living disgustingly excessive lives. They were driving $100,000 cars at 16 and having $2 million sweet-sixteen birthday parties. My daughter was saying how life would be perfect if she had as much money as they did. We then made lists of what money could and couldn't buy. Last week I shared with you our list of what it could buy. Here is our list of what money can't ... VIEW POST
Cane Back Chair Farewell
Over the summer I found a great set of cane back chairs at a yard sale. They were filthy and yellow with horrendous teal velvet seats. I got them late into garage sale season, so at that point my garage and basement were packed, and I may have promised Topher I wouldn't bring home anything else until the garage was cleared out. These were too good of a deal, but I knew I would have to get these redone and resold quickly so Topher wouldn't blow a gasket. I do recall the day I got them -- ... VIEW POST
Money Talks
Yesterday, the unnamed child and I were watching a TV show about uber rich teens and the life they live. The child commented that she would love to be crazy rich. I asked her why, and she said that it would make her life so much better. I explained that people that have crazy money have just as many problems as people without money, sometimes even more. So we both wrote out a list of what money could buy and what it couldn't. Here is my list of what it could: ... VIEW POST
Ruffled Lamp Shade Tutorial
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I got a lot of work finished on my projects, and to prove it, I once again have sanded off all the skin on my thumb and I have a huge burn blister on my left pointer finger from the glue gun. What can I say? I live a life of danger. The child that wishes to remain anonymous and I spent a big chunk of the weekend on today's project. Remember this great old lamp I got at Goodwill awhile back? It was great except it was filthy and ... VIEW POST
Dr. Dolittle (and the little grey nightstand)
Last week, poor Gracie had to go to the vet and get four of her teeth pulled. Two were abscessed, and one of those had three roots ... so they had to remove the tooth in sections. The poor Muffin has had bad teeth from day one -- I guess that's not an uncommon issue in poodle. Each year we take her for her annual cleaning, and more teeth have to come out. So now she only has four teeth left on the top! She was in a world of hurt all weekend, and they sent up home with drugs a decent supply ... VIEW POST
Roughed Up and the Yellow End Table
Happy Monday!!! Hope you guys had a great weekend! Mine was fairly boring, but I sit here starting the week a little beaten up (but with a yellow end table makeover). Saturday morning, we visited some yard sales, so there wasn't a lot of sleep (I did get some great old books, an antique chair, and a fun little table though); lots of time spent bent over painting, and my back is angry; so much distressing that I have blisters and no skin left on multiple fingers; and the virus the unnamed ...
