Kitchen Chair

how do i love these? let me count the ways...i love that they were free. i love the 40% off fabric. i love how easy it was to redo these chairs. We did it with black satin spray paint. I learned not to over sand. it burned for days. And then we sprayed it with a clear coat for protection. i can't wait to see the table done...ahhhh!

The Office Clean Up

For all my loyal fans out there (and you know who you are)..i have updated some of my at home projects. This is the office clean up project..all this "stuff' came out of my husbands office. The design plan was pretty simple....making it cool enough for him to like it.

Still needs curtains. Allso the lighter desk will be leaving for a work table. Then double monitors mounted to the wall over the black desk and one over the worktable.

We removed the doors and used it for storage. I like it.

We are going to put a dry/erase board to organize clients jobs.

Total time: 14 hours!!! no kidding

An old uninvited party but tons of inspritation

I am in the middle of spray painting/painting my living room tables and kitchen table. It is a learning process for me. The chairs came out GREAT. I love them and it motivates me to get the table done. The side table I finished a couple weeks back looks fab too. I just worked on the round side table not so good. So I am going to fix it tomorrow and I have decided to spray paint it.

Here is a link to an old spray painting party hosted by Josys of Home back in August 2008

Some fun things I have saved

I have decoring ADD. I need to focus but I can't..look at these fun pictures I have collected. I am going to focus on one project and then post them. I have so many projects going on right now.

I love living in a fantasy world

If I typed the events of the last month it would make it real. So I choose not to and continue to look at pretty pictures of nurseries and just pretend. So my period never came in Jan. I was on pins and needle and sick to my stomach. Everytime I went into the bathroom I held my breathe. And it never happened. I had to be pregnant...right? 3 EPT test said NO and then a blood test from my doctor confirmed I was not pregnant but where was Aunt Flo? He gave me a prescription of Provera and you take it for 10 days and the ragging bitch will show herself. Then 12 days after the start of my . I need to take an ovulation test to see if I am ovulating and then check my blood work for my progrestrone level next Friday. In the meantime Nate had to go to the spank bank. We had a lot of fun with that and so did he. We got the results last Tuesday. He has 99% misshapened sperm. Which is a cause of infertility. He has to go back in 6 weeks and be tested again. If the sperm are not shaped correctly then they can't get to the egg and can't get break into it. Hopefully the next test will go fine and this won't be an issue.

Those are the facts. Now my feelings on it..I am heartbroken of course. How do you plan for a future if there won't be one. I know I should be hopeful but how do you talk about your future children if you can't make them. At first I was alittle mad at Nate. Yes I know it isn't his fault but I was. I am just going to hope and pray that everything goes alright. If not. I have the most wonderful son that I could ever ask for. Maybe it is selfish to want another.
