Decorating

I wish you really were more than a day away.  So fitting since I'm rehearsing for Annie!  I've been waiting just for this day so I could reference the play, lol! Tomorrow will be my crazy scramble day!  I will have a quick trip to Target, and perhaps a few other places, in the morning and a Halloween giraffe that will very quickly be thrown together. Now, no more blogging...I'm off to make pillows!  

Thank goodness my family room is not literally a zoo, at least not all of the time.  I do have a few monkeys running around cluttering it up on occasion but at least they don't throw their own...well, you know! Inadvertently, I have developed quite the menagerie in my living room decor.  I even had one person ask me if I was going for a safari theme.  The answer is, no, but sometimes I wonder if it's too much.  I figure if I like it in the end, which I think I will despite the smattering of animals, that it doesn't matter one way or another how many furry friends litter the room.

We made headway on the chairs today...woohoo! The chairs were dismantled and got a pretty new coat of paint. Here is what they looked like just before their new digs.

And here is a sneaky peek of what they look like now.  So much better.  It's not exactly the color I want but it's close enough and I think they'll look great in the room.

This is going to be a fast and furious post.  There are just far too many fun things to do today to spend much time in cyberville. Two projects made leaps and bounds today. Here is the sneak peek for project number one. Could you believe that those boards just happened to be shelving in our basement when we bought our house?  And that they were already that color?  Pretty awesome if you ask me.  I just love free projects.  All I had to do was cut them down a tad. Can you guess what we are going to do with it?
