DIY Dreaming...

Thursday mornings means my favorite estate salers post pics of their upcoming Saturday sales. In fact, The Girls Estate Sales have become so big here in Tucson they recently opened up their own store. For me, I go in to dream land and fantasize about all the fun DIY projects I'd do with other people's junk. (Did that sound a bit creepy to you too?)

With a move on the horizon it's torture to even look knowing I need to be de-junking, not collecting. Oh well, I can't help myself.

Here are some of the fun things I'm spying...

New upholstery and maybe even paint the wood (or not) and this would be a gorgeous settee.

I spy some gorgeous, gold, bamboo nesting tables to the left of this sofa.

THAT MIRROR! Enough said.

I'll take those milk glass pieces hiding amongst the kitchen ware.

Blogland is buzzing with those beautiful wood secretaries. A hit of paint would do the trick.

I'm loving those three bamboo nesting tables. I'm really tempted to go pick them up and hide them in my garage. The Mr. wouldn't notice would he?

I WANT THESE MATCHING BEDS! They would be perfect with a coat of bright yellow or muted blue for my boys room. Check this out... (found on Walls Blog).

Bland dresser now. Give it a sand, some primer and paint...voila!

More milk glass treasures.

That cain chair with orange cushion is screamin for some TLC!

Perks.

In this last month of pregnancy I've taken up complaining as my newest hobby. Add moving in the mix and well...it's a plain ole' party around here.

Michelle Rasmussen of Wondertime Photography, grabbed her camera and snapped this photo the other day when I stopped in to say, "hello". In light of being terribly uncomfortable, I will admit there are beautiful perks of pregnancy...

Thick hair.

Long, strong nails.

Valumptuous, botox-like lips.

Eating without guilt.

Glowing, pimple-free skin.

Yes, I complain...but I also have a lot to be grateful for.

Thank you Michelle. I will miss you dearly.
