my chairs are back from the upholsterer and they did a beautiful job.
i don't intend on keeping them turquoise. i know many of you love this color, and i do too but i just don't want turquoise chairs.
they are on either side of the windows flanking my fig tree. smalls. mainly they are there for extra seating.
i still need a light fixture, better sconces and new dining chairs.
and curtains. oh curtains.
things are always in progress when your budget is fartknockingly small.
remember this thing?
now it looks like this...
with happy nautical knobs...
super awesome baskets on sale at anthro and they hold ugly shit like staplers and my headshots...
you might be asking..
"jenny, why does the finish look so fucked up?"
and i woulld tell you that i sanded the shit out of this mother and put 4 coats of paint, 3 coats of poly on it sanding inbetween each coat. but that it is most likely 100 percent MDF and unpaintable. or it's possessed by the devil and is mocking me. MDF=Mean Devil Fucker
in person it's much smoother and shinier.
inside lives the stereo...
(hold on, put your sunglasses on so you don't go blind from that glare!!)
don't hate the legs.
i'm workin on it.
stay tuned for part 2 where there is some rehupolstered love coming your way...
10 years ago today supermike made an honest woman out of me...
here we are from the sickbed...he was kind enough to hop in for a pic with me (sors it's so dark...sickbeds should be like caves even for pictures)
he brought me more peeonies:
(don't hate on my too small crooked lampshade)
happy anniversary to us.
we are awesome.
pee-onies!!!
whole foods is getting them in now.
word.
this was my mom and dad's tv armoire for years before they gave it to us to use for our tv. but since the flat screen invention it has been useless. it's a little too kuntry for my taste but it has served me well as the place where i hide all my officey crap. now it will be the place where i hide my stereo. another ginormousugly that needs to be hidden.
going to paint it black, shiny black. not sure about the legs. nothing has struck me. what do you think?
i do plan on using these knobs...
i super love them.
i am painting it today, so no change mind on black, but will accept your advice on the legs.
and yes, i would love to get a new piece, and i probably will off of craigslist. but for now this ugly thing has to stay and i need to make it as pretty as possible.
