Rain, rain....

What do we do when it's too wet to paint
and too cold to leave our blanket behind?

We eat... a lot!!

We also play with Photoshop.

If the weather gets better tomorrow, we will head out to the garage and finish a cool kitchen table we just found...
Stay tuned...
and dry!!!

Procrastination...

We are happy to announce that one more project has been done.

We kept these cute chairs in the garage for over 3 years

and it took us 2 hours to finish them....

Can you say Procrastination?????

Well, Ladies, here they are now...

...No. 1 and No. 2

They will be taken to Country Roads today, so if you need a couple of sweet chairs for the kitchen nook or the sunroom...Hurry up and get them!
Remember that...

SOLD!

Got Pew??

I drove about 8 miles from one side of Orange to the other side, to Country Roads, trying to convince myself....

"It's not that long"

"It's not that heavy"

...while watching and hoping that the cars behind me would notice the red flag at the end of the truck.

By the time I got to Country Roads, I started to admit it was long. About 4 feet were hanging out off the truck.

By the time Carol helped me move it into the store, my treasure had started to get heavier....

By the time the little 5 year old shopper told his Mom "That's gigantic!!", I knew I had broken my promise of not buying large, heavy pieces...

But it's so cool!!

Chippy white paint,

Great carvings on the sides...

Lots of names carved on the back and painted over and over....

It's definitely long...very long...no matter from which side you look at it...

10 1/2 feet, to be exact.
10 1/2 feet of coolness looking for a new home...

Weird Bird

Birds are flyin' south for winter.

Here's the Weird-Bird headin' north,

Wings a-flappin', beak a-chatterin',
Cold head bobbin' back 'n' forth.
He says, "It's not that I like ice
Or freezin' winds and snowy ground.



It's just sometimes it's kind of nice
To be the only bird in town."

Shel Silverstein

Talking about Weid Birds...Tonight is the American Idol Season Premiere...
Two full hours of auditions...
many "Weird Birds", we are sure...
We can't wait to see Ellen!

Happy Monday!

Sometimes,
all you need is a little embellishment to make the pretty even prettier...

And sometimes just rescuing a vintage treasure makes the trick...

Have a creative and immensely inspiring week!
