Enough already....

no more poking fun at my daughters. We all sure did have fun with that though. All the memories that can be pulled up from just a picture, wow!! I told you we didn't need alcohol to get a good laugh going!!!
So now on to my serious side here.....
you didn't know I had a serious side?


Yeah......I was "seriously" crazy when I bought this butt ugly yellow chair several years ago with the wild idea that one day "I" would recover it!! HAHAHAHA
see I can always laugh at myself
just look how ugly
but it had "Good Bones"

and there is NOTHING that a good coat of white paint can't fix



I slapped 2 real good coats of my faaaaaavorite Olympic high gloss enamel latex paint on it and I mean every where on it, vinyl and all.
What's it gonna do "ruin it" if it doesn't work out?


I sanded down some areas ....just so......and now it is a new beautiful, useful, shabby chic, designer chair!!!! If you look really closely at the pictures you can see the faux painting technique that I used to mimic linen fabric.
Faux enameled vinylinen!!
Bet ya never heard of that before! Actually this fabric is very soft and pliable and I feel that it will last a good while with out cracking too!!!
I love it!!
I think I'll do the sectional sofa next! What ya think?
and look at those ugly painted floors....yucky.... I am going to have to do something about those and soon....
I have plans ;0)
of course it involves a can of paint!
So can you tell that I might not always be fun and games now?
Wrong!!
I have fun with most every thing I do as long as there are fun people around me!
That's why I like my girls so much. I didn't like them when they were young and hadn't developed a personality like mine............LOL!! Just kidding!! I have always loved these girls cause they are the best ones ever!!! They sure give me a reason to live!!
Now that all the shopping is finished and the presents are wrapped. I have a little cooking to do and then "Come on Christmas" I am ready and also I am ready for it to be over and the decorations placed all snug in their beds for 11 months and get back to finishing those wild ideas that I have conjured up for my house. I have to get this stuff done before gardening season begins. I am sure it will take me all winter to get the inside stuff done..........................well maybe many winters!!! I better get started!!

~~~
I would also like to Thank Terri from the bottom of my crazy little heart for listing me on her "Most Influential People List of 2009"!
I have never won an award!!!
I am humbled!
I would like to Thank my family, my agent, my fans, my record label, my publisher............
Oh I am on the wrong stage here....sometimes I just drift off like that........there's probably a pill for that............
Terri, I love you and I am here for you any time you need a good laugh!!!
Hey with 5 kids she should have a lot of days that she needs a good laugh!!

Excuse me while I get a tissue:)) Okay.... great chair!! Who would have ever thought to paint the whole thing white! It's marvelous!

That floor looks awesome from the little snippet in the photo. I love hardwood. In our other old farmhouse somebody had painted the hardwood floor as well. I repainted it (white) and stenciled green ivy all around the floor where the table sat. It was really cute! Can't wait to hear about all your other projects. I just may get inspired now to bug Rob about finishing some little things around here:) Like an upstairs bathroom!

Merry Christmas my dear little friend!
