I was reminded by a few friends that I was taking the week off. That’s why I love this blog, it holds me accountable.
I didn’t really take the week off. I started off on Monday declaring a vacation day. All I did was catch up on my dvr, magazines and mail. I did not cook dinner and did not paint a thing.
By Tuesday morning, after I fixed my daughter’s curtains, I was ready to paint.
You can see I got started with my new Annie Sloan color.
Then I gave this little guy some more love with Annie Sloan Emperor Red and dark wax.
When I waited forever for paint to dry in the cold, wet weather, I simply moved on to these projects.
And this major project:
Why did I think I could fix this settee? Hubby hates it and has requested it gets tossed with the trash. I took that as a challenge.
So far I have painted it black. It looks a lot better already. Now I am left with the upholstery job. Not sure how I will proceed since I have never done this before. Hmmm…
To end the week, we are hosting a Chili Cook Off tonight for both soccer teams. Cross your fingers that the weather cooperates for the 100 people attending!
Lastly, I will have a 12 year old on Sunday. My oh my!
When I spell out the week, complete with Halloween and teacher conferences and the regular daily grind, it doesn’t appear I took any time off!
I may have to declare a sick day on Monday. Maybe that will give me a break!
Speaking of Monday…be sure to stop in Monday morning as I kick off an amazing giveaway. I went to a party last night and fell in love. I am so excited to share and give you a chance to fall in love too!
Have a wonderful, relaxed weekend!
XO-
