Wingbacks on my mind.

You may recall my funny little round room that I've talked about before. It acts as a hallway and leads to the kitchen, front entryway and dining/family room. It's such a puzzling space. I've finally decided to make it an informal breakfast nook and plan to do this sort of staging:

I've been dilligently on the lookout for a couple of wingback chairs. Could these be any cooler?

I came accross this photo of Condoleezza Rice (www.casasugar.com) in these lovely wingbacks...

Don't these Craiglist Wings look similar? And at $50.00 / a piece! Oh, the possibilities!

Owner, please email me back already! Please don't tell me you sold them within one hour of listing them. I know my three emails is bordering stalking but your chairs are perfect for my round room. Please contact me...a phone call, an email, a smoke signal...I promise I'll treat them with care!

When it rains, it pours.

Time to work some magic on our bedroom furniture (a.k.a. a lot of paint). I've been doing quite a bit of research on painting furniture. In a nutshell, fastest way and best coverage is with a paint sprayer.

I decided to rent one from Home Depot. Turns out they only have monster sprayers that rent for $89.00. The guy tells me his would be way overkill for just painting some furniture. He suggests I just buy a smaller version for same price of renting the monster sprayer. Not really what I had in mind but okay.

I bought one of these Wagner models. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO I RECOMMEND THIS THING! It's hard to tell from the picture but it just splat big blotches of paint everywhere, EVERYWHERE! Then to top it off, it hasn't monsooned in weeks, but today it decided to dump. So we scrambled to get everything back in side. We took extra care to protect everything from possible paint spillage. PAINT IS NOW EVERYWHERE! I stepped backwards in to the bucket, spilled it all over the grass, tripped over the cord and dropped the paint sprayer, turned around backed my rear back in to painted wet dresser, here comes the rain. &*%$!
