Distressed Black Chest/Bench

Hello! Is is just me or is Christmas fun in FULL swing?!!!
Tune in tomorrow for a GREAT review if you
are looking for some beautiful and affordable fresh greens
for your home - local or not!



Up next for sale:

I just refinished a very nice wood chest that was in great condition,

but I thought a little black distressed treatment would

look more up-to-date and versatile.
(I so apologize...pictures are not in my favor here.) :-/

(the spots on top are not there - is a smooth solid black)

GREAT interior and storage!!!

This would be perfect just about anywhere..entryway, boy's room, girl's room,

master bedroom, playroom, mud room....

It has great storage underneath the lid and has two

high quality lid supports with no squeaks whatsoever.

Then the two drawers underneath can hold smaller items -

anything from scarves and gloves to papers.

Dimensions are 48.5" long x 15.25" deep x 24" high

SOLD

I think it looks great both ways, but I really love the black! :-)

Thanks for popping in today!

Some Office Inspiration

I find it rather odd that in my little world of google image search, which usually brings me immediate inspiration, I'm left me with only a handful of pictures that inspire me for our office space...and even these aren't really what I'm thinking of. :-( We're really spending time evaluating how our spaces are used and how to maximize each space balancing function and aesthetics. Dream design right? :-)

I suppose I'm thankful for the opportunity to come up with something that really works for our family in our space! I'm pretty busy with some custom work right now and wish I had more to share with you today, but if you are here today reading, THANK YOU! I can't wait to show you all that's "in the works".

I hope that each of you had a fantastic Thanksgiving and maybe some fun Christmas decorating and shopping. I've still got a few things waiting for me to pick up at Lowe's ~ I'm definitely the online shopping guru! Soooooo, guess what I'm up to today??? Cyber Monday! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pom Pom Ornaments - Family Fun!

It's been a pretty laid back day beginning our

Thanksgiving festivities.

The kids and I ventured to Joann's today

and picked up some Ron-Loc Muslin.

All for some family crafting of pom-pom ornaments!

Hopefully we'll be getting a tree Saturday to put these on. :-)

This muslin is a little more expensive,

but it looks and feels fantastic.

It did get a little messy making these ornaments though! See the floor!!!

The girls helped out with a couple each.

Angh...

The ornaments still needed "haircuts" as I say.

You can find the tutorial for these here.

I hope you are enjoying the kick-off to your Thanksgiving holiday,

and I pray that you are safe, happy, and blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving (early) :-)

Some Birthday Ramblings and Giveaway Winner!

I'm not sure I mentioned once last week that our family has been sick. Maybe I thought, "Oh, it'll just be a couple days and we'll all be back to normal".  I wish!  Feel free to scroll down if you don't wish to hear my brief ranting. :-(

As I've recently learned, even some people closest to me didn't know I am practically blind (at least in my opinion). I wear Night and Day contacts (AMAZING!!!), but last week's projects left some dust in my eyes which has left me with a possible scratch on my eye. I'm resorting to my glasses and no eye make-up, and honestly, just don't feel like myself. Not to mention the hacking chest cough and congestion that just won't.go.away, leaving me tired and unable breath let alone workout. Enough about me - my kiddos actaully endured a couple days of fevers, and my super hubby somehow managed to be the only one of us who didn't get this cold. Even after getting his flu shot last week - at least someone was left to take care of us. ;-)

By the way, my hubby is pretty amazing and really knows me best. If you follow via twitter, you know that my wonderful husband got me this for my birthday last week.

I was SHOCKED to say the least.

Personally, I was just happy that we had a great offer

on our house, he got me a yummy coffee,

and a date night at my fave restaurant Conto's.

It's a new compressor btw. I took a picture of the old one,

but deleted it. It's so ugly and old! lol

This one has one 16-gauge nail gun,

one 18-gauge nail gun,

and a STAPLER! Yeah...no more hammer tacker!

So, now I am recovering from sickness last night's birthday party,

and totally planning to enjoy the little bit of extra

DQ Ice Cream Cake my mom brought for the party.

Oh how I love that stuff...I really need to kick this cold

so I can workout!!!

--- ANYWAY ---

This is what you've been waiting for ~
