I know my friend Patricia at <a href="http://whitecottagechic.blogspot.com/">White Cottage Chic</a> loves them too - check out a recent post of hers about Chandeliers titled <a href="http://whitecottagechic.blogspot.com/2011/01/great-design.html#links">Great Design</a>, you must go over for a visit and say hi.<br />
<br />
Probably about a month ago i walked into Home Depot to pick up some paint of coarse and decide to tempt myself with some beautiful chandeliers. I've been wanting one for my bedroom for like ever but even more so since i re-did it but didn't really have the extra couple hundred dollars so i was just going to snap some pictures and dream. I did do that, snapped some pictures and just wished i could take one home with me and of coarse i already picked the perfect one out. Sadly i walked away from the lighting department and almost walked straight into a stack of clearance lighting. You are not going to believe what i found..... MY CHANDELIER!!!!! OMG i was so excited and i'm almost positive a little scream came out. My new chandelier was originally priced at $179.99 and it was on sale for $99.99!!!! So me and my new sparkly chandelier went home and called Kevin right away to ask if he could hang it :)<br />

Did you know that these aren't already assembled in the box? It seriously took me about 3 hours to put it all together but it was worth every penny and every minute. I love it!<br />

Honestly i'm glad the holiday season is now in the past. Now everything can go back to normal again. Well as normal my life ever is anyway lol. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I'm curious ... what is your tool of choice? Do you use a brush, roller or paint sprayer? I was using a compressor and a high velocity paint sprayer - nothing fancy just a $70 sprayer from Princess Auto. I have already been through 3 of them. I loved it when it was brand new and working great but for some reason this gun didn't totally come apart and because of that it was really hard to clean out the clear coat after spraying it and it started to clog. But this year Santa (a.k.a Kevin) got me the bestest present ever! Introducing the Graco True Coat Pro - professional handheld cordless airless paint sprayer. I actually found it used on kijiji, it was used only one time but we saved $100 so we were happy :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR7ElENM3RmOXVmTQ1HsMPRh1hlYR1CuE8ATxQYsx5soV-kKfvvTYrGhM8r0UT1PVV99K9e8OhXv18HATrSw5bfsBW89j1eFwst7P5nR3kKFbMtzULYrvmye_5Vj4ZNjUnZaMJ4yfK1Q/s1600/TrueCoatPro_th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNR7ElENM3RmOXVmTQ1HsMPRh1hlYR1CuE8ATxQYsx5soV-kKfvvTYrGhM8r0UT1PVV99K9e8OhXv18HATrSw5bfsBW89j1eFwst7P5nR3kKFbMtzULYrvmye_5Vj4ZNjUnZaMJ4yfK1Q/s200/TrueCoatPro_th.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
I have used it twice now and it is amazing. You don't have to thin the paint so you only need to spray on one coat...yes i said ONE! And this is probably more exciting for me because i am the clumsiest person in the world but it is CORDLESS! So, no tripping over cords, no cords hitting your freshly painted projects - its very cool and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it!<br />
<br />

Last Friday night at about 3am my tummy started to hurt and then it was a trip to the bathroom every 30 min - i'll leave out the gory details and just say that i really wished i would have splurged on the really soft toilet paper. Then lucky me at 9am i started puking my guts out, it was not a pretty sight let me tell you! I was supposed to go to my work Xmas party that day but that didn't happen. I had to work the next day and that was touch and go and by midnight that night i was puking AGAIN aacchh. I swear i have lost at least 10 pounds. Then Monday was still really week, Tuesday i had to work and that was still really hard - i haven't really eaten much since last Friday than <b>hurray</b> Wedn i woke up with a nasty cold and a fever and i have not left the house since Tuesday i think. Tomorrow i am going to try to be brave and go to the Butterdome Craft Sale - wish me luck!<br />
<br />
I have a couple of finished pieces i need to show you but haven't pictured most of them yet but to tide you over for a couple of days (i've been such a bad blogger) here is the before and after of my stereo cabinet i found on kijiji. It is now my TV stand at my place.<br />

I haven't had a chance to blog in weeks. I've been busy moving back to my house. I know having your shop in your living room & dining room isn't the best choice but its the only one i have so i have made it work. I had many many hours of cleaning and purging to do (that's what happens when you don't live in the house & leave the door open from the shop so the dust can travel to the rest of the house - plus many many years of having a shopping problem - both, not very smart choices) <br />
<br />
I now live in the same house as my shop which works pretty well actually. The living/dining room is closed off with french doors and on the main level along with the kitchen. Upstairs i have my bedroom, bathroom and two spare bedrooms so what i have done is turn one of the spare rooms into my living room. I really am happy with how its turned out. Small & cozy!!! I haven't hung anything on the walls yet but i have a plan in my head that i just need to execute. When i am finished i will post a bunch of pictures. For now i will show you a before and after of my new headboard.<br />

One of my old employers called me to come back to work, so i am now working part time. Thankfully my fingers remembered all the computer systems so i didn't really have to be re-trained after being gone for just over a year. Thank you fingers!! So weird that my brain didn't remember passwords but my fingers just typed them in, all by themselves lol.<br />
<br />
I have more before & afters to show you later on in the week!!<br />

My plan is to turn one of my spare rooms upstairs into my living room and my living room and dining room downstairs will remain my shop. Because i will be living in the same house as my shop i should be able to get alot more furniture done! That's my hope anyway :) I just picked up a couch tonight and am having my wing back chair slip covered. I have a couple of pieces i need to finish in the next couple of weeks - i am working on a coffee table, tv stand, & headboard and am on the lookout for an awesome bedside table. Yesterday i picked up some pretty white curtains from Ikea for the living room and have decided on the paint colour. I just have to sew some curtains for my bedroom (i bought some fabric a couple of years ago that should work) and pick a colour for my bedroom. So lots and lots to do but i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I wanted to show you some pictures of the most recent piece i painted for a client - i forgot to take a before picture oops - i was waiting to post finished pictures until she purchased the hardware so here they are. This was her desk from when she was a little girl - the inside of one of the drawers even has crayon scribbles all over it :)<br />

She had this old door in her garage and didn't know what to do with it so i came up with this. <br />

This is how i did it:<br />
1. Removed all the glass from the door<br />
2. Sanded, then primed it<br />
3. I painted it a dark grey<br />
4. Next was a couple coats of white<br />
5. Some distressing of coarse<br />
6. Then clear coat!<br />
7. I asked Kevin if he could cut me some pieces of plywood to match the size of the glass <br />
8. Then i cut out 15 pieces of batting and 15 pieces of the white fabric my client picked out.<br />
9. Next was several hours of going staple gun crazy!<br />
10. Last step was to nail in the fabric covered wood pieces & TA-DA<span style="color: #e06666;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="color: black;">a new headboard!!!!</span><br />
<br />
All it needs are some King size pillows to prop up against the headboard with some pretty decorative pillows and it will be fabulous!<br />

I had no idea when she said "Why don't you come here to see everything i have?" that there would be soooo much stuff. Seriously my jaw almost hit the ground as we were driving up her driveway. Umm i think i might have squeeled too :) What a sweet lady she is, we get out of the truck and she was like do you want to come in for coffee first or look at the stuff and do coffee after. Anyone who knows me would laugh because they know i would say no no no we have to look first. I started running before i was even done talking lol. <br />
<br />
I'm sure i was looking around for a couple of hours and picking and choosing what i could fit in the truck and since i am unemployed i had a limited amount of cash so it worked out ok. Have i told you how sweet she is? Well she said anything else i wanted she would save for me until i had the money. So i already have a list started with things i will pick up next. Once we were done she had us come in for coffee and snacks. Wow, she had made tuna sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, home made brownies, home made coconut raspberry squares (that were to die for!), veggies and dip, cookies, chips and pickles. We did not expect that at all - i honestly was in heaven and would have moved into one of her sheds in a second lol She is also taking 2 of my cats to live with her. I've been trying to find a home for them for a while & hoping that someone i knew would take both of them - they are going to LOVE it at her farm.<br />
<br />
Anyway, i better show you the pictures of my new shabby chippy treasures.<br />

Wow its alot of work! Maybe that's why i never made the time in the past. Well this past weekend we finally took the plunge. We got rid of alot of stuff but honestly the tables still look full with stuff (after Thursday night i ran around my house looking for more things to put in the sale - Wednesday night you could not fit in another item and that is no joke) and were actually thinking we might do another one before the snow comes because i really do NOT want to pack up everything that is left. We made pretty good money but if you could see my garage now you would think it hadn't even happened yet. I wish i would have taken an after picture but i do have some before shots.<br />

I feel very blessed that i found her because boy did i get some goodies and more is to come. In my last post i had mentioned that i had an item being delivered that was yellow.... this might be my favorite out of the truck load. Which one do you like best?<br />

They have a new Coach outlet store just outside Calgary so in 3 days we went 4 times i think :) My willpower was tested like crazy... since just coming back from Vegas and California my bank account was a little low. I actually stood in line with an amazing black handbag and was going to pray to the Visa gods to let me have it but i talked myself out of it... i know shocker right? Kevin did buy me a Coach handbag when we were in Vegas so sadly .... i left without one but Melanie and i decided we would go back again real soon. Well worth the drive!!!<br />
<br />
Within a couple of days after Calgary i got attacked by the cold bug and had to completely stay away from any dust or paint fumes because i was just gasping for air even when i was wearing a mask so i had to take a bit of a break. I do have a before and after for you - it took me a while to finish because of my forced break but it is done and ready to be delivered to its owner. I actually really like the colour... its <span style="color: yellow;">YELLOW</span>! I'm not normally a yellow lover but this tone of yellow feels very calming and cozy to me hmmm and soon i will have something else to show you in yellow. I found it on kijiji along with several other awesome things - they will arrive on the 15th when the seller drives into Edmonton (she is about 2 hours out of the city).<br />
<br />

I had no problem at all envisioning this beauty with some nice white paint and a little bit of distressing. I found this solid wood filing cabinet on kijiji last winter. I started working on it months and months ago but got busy so it was left unfinished awaited its finishing touches! I finally finished it. Yeahhh!!! <br />
<br />
Originally i was going to change the hardware but once it was finished i decided that the original hardware looked pretty good with its original antique bronze finish. It is now advertised on kijiji so that it can find its new forever home (even though i really really want to keep it & have never seen another one like it)<br />

Do you remember i did a post on it way way back and i actually started it right away but it sat with that old filing cabinet unfinished for months and months. I just got so busy with client stuff that i didn't have a chance or space at the time (I have increased my working space now - yeah!!!) and when i got back from my holidays the magazine table and filing cabinet were first on my list to finish! It is up for sale on kijiji already but here are some before and afters for ya! I think i mentioned finding a bird cage on my trip so one of the pictures of the table includes the bird cage on top - isn't it cute?<br />

Is that normal??<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Well i'm back from my road trip and hoped to be refreshed and full of energy but nope not a chance, vacations are exhausting! Drove to Vegas from Edmonton, went to see "O" (omg totally loved it) the night we arrived, then drove to Anaheim, California & stayed for 7 days but it was 5 days of Disneyland, 1 day in Huntington beach, then aquarium at Long Beach and then back to Vegas for 3 nights than drive back to Edmonton, AB .... and somehow i was able to read 3 really good books Breaking Dawn, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner & The Time Traveler's wife! geez i'm tired just typing all that lol Oh and of coarse i did some treasure hunting in between all of the above! How the heck did i manage to do all of that AND spend all my money ha ha<br />
<br />
Ok so this is difficult to talk about it still is so upsetting to me... Kevin had it in his head that we couldn't go to Riverside until the day we were driving back to Vegas, Angie from<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><a href="http://treaures.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Treasures</span></a> gave me the names of a couple of places to go to but i really didn't know what to expect so i bought what i could before we went to Riverside (i didn't want to go home with an empty truck just incase i didn't find anything ) , so i got some pieces that were ok, some better than ok and a couple pieces that i love. Anyway, i filled up the truck - yup i did, but i picked up this gorgeous armoir from Craig's List in Anaheim that took up most of the space. So when it was time to drive to Riverside the truck was already full and i only had room for a bird cage, some lamps and jewelry. In one tiny area there were a bunch of antique stores & thrift stores - all in two little strip malls - i almost died and was so sad that i couldn't take so many things i wanted home. <br />
<br />
One of the thrift stores was a Goodwill so i figured i would just check it out quickly, i don't know why, maybe to torture myself but in the furniture section there was this amazing antique Singer sewing machine - the machine was black with flowers painted on it and the bottom was SINGER in awesome black cast iron. I'm sure you could picture the look on my face, but just wait it gets worse, yes i said worse, the price tag was only $29.99!!!! I was so upset, i honestly almost cried because i couldnt take it home.... Kevin said we had no room, i begged and begged and was even willing to donate the chair i had bought days before so that i could have the sewing machine but NOPE he wouldn't budge. Geez you don't want the truck piled high up in the sky with furniture and then drive 24 hours (in two days) back to Edmonton - sniff sniff ok i guess i see his point, but ...<br />
<br />
Ok so this is my plan ...as soon as i save enough money which might be a while... I'm going fly to Riverside, California do tons of shopping with Angie (she knows all the good places) and fill up a huge truck, like a moving truck, maybe a UHAUL -not sure if i can drive one from the U.S to Canada and then leave it in Canada but i'll have to do some research. Then hopefully i won't be forced to leave a single fantastic treasure behind.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple photos of some of my finds and 2 pictures i took in Vegas that i love and think i might get blown up & framed.<br />

<br />
I am praying to the salvage gods tonight to bring me tons of awesome finds to bring home!!! I would love to find something on the side of the road - that would be way too cool! Hope all of my treasure hunting friends find some amazing things too. I am so excited to see the difference between Canadian Thrift stores & Salvage shops vs the U.S.<br />
<br />

My best friend told me the other day that i needed to post some B & A's other than mirrors all the time but i have two clients that live in small houses and love mirrors to open up the space so they are keeping me pretty busy lately. So today, for you Melanie, i have another dresser makeover.... <span style="font-size: xx-small;">and a mirror ha ha.</span><br />
<br />
This afternoon i installed the hardware on this lovely white dresser and was only able to get one picture before my camera died. I hate when that happens. It's already gone to a new home where she will be very happy i'm sure. I've had her for a while but was finally able to get to it - she was oh so very sad with mint green and a very grimy white and many ugly layers of paint underneath - I practically sanded her right down to the wood. She was requested to be pure white.... no distressing.... it was not easy for me to just leave it alone after painting - i wanted to distress her so badly! Any other distress lovers out there have the same problem??? Anyway, with some glass knobs purchased from Lee Valley she turned out beautifully!<br />

Mirror Mirror on the .... nope, this time its a stand up mirror! A client of mine found this mirror on kijiji and wanted it painted cream so cream is what she got with some distressing of coarse. In the after pictures it actually looks white but in person it is very clearly cream. It turned out really pretty.<br />

We are driving to Vegas and staying for a couple of days than driving to Anaheim - Disneyland then to Huntington beach than back to Vegas for a couple of days and then back home to Alberta, so if any one of my blogger friends has any suggestions on places i should check out i would totally love it. Angie from <a href="http://treaures.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Treasures</span></a> has already started a list for me - thanks Angie your the best!!! You have to check out her blog she is such an awesome person and finds the most amazing treasures.... i am always so very jealous!!!! She is right now trying to balance <a href="http://treaures.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Treasures</span></a>, Mr. Treasures, her children with a new full time job. I know she will figure it out because that's how awesome she is and once she does i hope she will share that information with me because eventually i am going to have to go back to a "real" job and i really don't want to let go of Painted Whyte because i love love love it! Painted Whyte is what i am meant to do and i am not willing to give it up so i'm gonna have to figure it out!!<br />

A while ago a client of mine gave me this dresser that was sitting in her garage that was in <strong><span style="color: #e06666;">really</span></strong> bad shape - it definitely did not age gracefully that's for sure lol Oh boy and the hardware those had to be replaced immediately! So with alot of band aids (wood filler), a ton of sanding, some white paint, distressing, some sparkly glass knobs and a couple McGyver moves and this dresser looked almost brand new. It turned out better than brand new because this guy earned its new shabby chic title! It was alot of blood, sweat and tears but it was so worth it (well there weren't any tears i don't think but you know what i mean). This re-born dresser is already loving its new home with such a sweet lady... hi Beverly if you are reading this!<br />

I haven't written a post in a while, i didnt have much to post about because .... ok so what happened was ... over a week ago it was raining and i was walking down my front steps at my house (the shop) to go home - and anyone that knows me knows i pretty much live in flip flops and had my purse and slurpee in hand and i slipped and landed on my right hip (i now know that when unpainted wood gets wet it is extremely slippery especially with flip flops). OMG i have never been in so much pain in my life! Honestly i almost couldn't get up from the bottom of the steps - oh and sitting in a big puddle with my luck - oh and slurpee still in hand - of coarse i wouldn't drop my slurpee lol. Just picture what it looking like, i'm sure it looked pretty funny but i definitely wasn't laughing.<br />
<br />
After some time i finally got into my car but not without a few choice curse words - good thing there weren't any kids around. I honestly screamed the entire way home because of the pain when stepping on the gas, clutch or break and had to call Kevin to come home to help me out of my car - that was not an easy task because i could hardly move - it was so painful even to sit oh boy and the stairs were a challenge lol poor Kevin he didn't know what to do because he would try to help me and i would just yell in tears no no no no ! <br />
<br />
Kevin took me to the medicentre because the ER was about a 6 hour wait and there was no way i was going to sit & wait that long. It wasn't broken thank god but i think i dis-located my hip and when Kevin tried to help me get into the car for the last time with a bag full of pain killers from the pharmacy i heard and felt a pop. It hurt but it was a good pop because after that i was able to move more than just an inch without screaming. The doctor told me that i was to go to get xrays in about 4 days when i was mobile and haven't heard back so i'm guessing no news is good news but i will call tomorrow maybe just to make sure its not a fracture. <br />
<br />
Of coarse last week i had 3 clients pieces to finish by Friday but thank god they were all really sweet and so understanding and told me to not even try until i was feeling better. What sweet clients i have right? Well yesterday i decided it was time to finally get back to work - it still hurts a bit but not a big deal compared to what i felt last week that's for sure. So then i stop and park in a parking lot to run across the street to the bakery (its not like i needed anymore junk food in the house) and i trip over something and it hurt like hell, i look down and sticking out of the parking lot are rusty pieces of rebar and one stabbed me in the side of the foot and i was bleeding - and i didn't just get back into my car and drive home, no way, i was determined to get to that stupid bakery and as i'm crossing the street it starts poring rain - boy, did i break a mirror or something? And to top it all off it tasted horrible! <br />
<br />
Then..... today i am back working in the shop and i decide to cut some boxes apart to lay on the floor and i slipped some how and sliced through my finger, once again blood, ah geez! I didn't even have band aids so i was forced to wrap my finger with a clean rag and wrap up with masking tape so than i had a finger the size of a hand practically and trying to clear coat all my furniture i was working on. Ok so this is it! That's 3 bad things in a row - no more, i am done! I better be or i am not leaving the house until we leave for holidays on the 30th!!!! <br />
<br />
So this past couple weeks i learned to hang on for dear life when walking down my steps in the rain and flip flops (actually the next day Kevin came home with anti slip strips to put on the steps), to watch where i am walking when in my flip flops, that the Bakery isn't worth it and to always carry lots of band aids in my purse, oh and i purchased travellers medical insurance for our holidays because we are driving to Vegas and California for some treasure hunting and Disneyland and who knows what could happen to me in another country right? lol<br />
<br />
I should have a couple before and afters to post about in the next few days FINALLY right?<br />

Well this client is not afraid of colour that's for sure, which i really enjoy actually, a change from white for a bit never killed anyone right lol. Poor Cheryl who was oh so sick today couldn't come to pick them up because she has that nasty cold that's going around (and i'm determined not to get it because i do NOT want to be sick on my holidays). I just knew that seeing the reveal of her awesome finds would cheer her up, even if it was just for a little while so i decided to play hooky from sanding today to deliver them to her and pick up some much needed primer from the Home Depot in her area (since someone very rudely, lol cleaned out every single can of the primer i like to use from the Home Depot by my house). I hope they made you feel better Cheryl :)<br />
<br />
She found these two ugly shabby pieces on kijiji and told her husband they would be her birthday present - happy belated birthday Cheryl! Its a good thing she can look past what they originally looked like and saw the potential they had. It was the worst stained glass imitation i have EVER seen! <br />

With a little TLC, replace the horrible glass with mirror, some good wood glue, a splash of paint and some distressing..... TA - DAAAAAA!<br />

The other day i did the tour of my favorite thrift stores and found a square coffee table for $8 so that went in the back of my car and then i spotted these two beauties. This is what i need help with - should i paint the antique bronze white or do i leave it??? Are they beauties or was it temporary insanity? My boyfriend thinks they are butt ugly (but he is the one that thought Ikea blue on the walls in the living room and bright red curtains looked good so i obviously can't go with what he says, right?)<br />

</div><div align="left">I picked this next treasure up yesterday. She was actually saved from the garbage.... i can't believe someone would throw this beauty out.... what ever did she do to deserve such a fate? My boyfriends mom and step dad found her and gave to me to give her a new and better life. Her original purpose was to hold silverware but i'm thinking she would make a fantastic jewelry box! What do you think? </div><div align="left"><br />

I left Denise's place with a truck full - she gave me a dresser that needed some major TLC and sent another project of hers with me to do in a couple of weeks. Just wait till you see that one... ive actually wanted one of these for a long long time but ended up going with something else instead.... that's all i'm saying cause its going to be a surprise lol. The two white window frames are going to be used for family pictures (they have a brand new baby)- Denise please take a picture for me when they are in, i would love to see them!<br />
<br />
I went on another treasure hunt this afternoon and found some really cool things - i will blog about them tomorrow!!<br />

But then i searched for it on kijiji and emailed the guy within seconds, as soon as i saw the picture i had to have them, he was asking $10 each or both for $15 so..... hello... of coarse i took both! Tracy must have seen the post as soon as he advertised it because i was the first email and yeahhhh i picked them up last night. Thank you soooooo much Tracy!!!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div align="left" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">So.... today i was driving to my place to finish a client piece and two block from my house was a garage sale - i've been trying to stay away from them because i always bring home too much stuff and when your unemployed you just can't always do that, but for some reason i swear my car just turned into the back alley and parked in front of this driveway. Since i was already there i figured i might as well get out and take a quick look... what could be the harm right? Well instantly i saw them and i'm sure i gracefully ran towards them huh ya right i almost tripped lol. Take a look at these beauties!!! They were asking for $5 each and so my new bargaining self offered $7 for both and she said YES!!!! They are a pretty good size too :)</div><div align="left" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I haven't decided if i should put in mirror or maybe Kevin's parents wedding photo in one and my parent's wedding photo in the other. What do you think? Or i could put in mirror and sell them because i can't keep everything even though i really really want to. Hmmm that's a hard decision. I'll have to sleep on it i think.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow i will have an awesome before and after to show you!!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">For months now i've been reading all my favorite blogs all over the world and very jealous of all the items people keep finding on the side of the road. For months i was like treasures don't sit on the sides of our roads here in Edmonton, AB, why is that? Was i just unlucky? Did those items just sit on the side of the road in the early morning and since i am NOT a morning person everything is already picked up. I had just about given up when last Friday my best friend Melanie and i had plans to go to a movie so i was picking her up - we saw Sex in the City 2 and it was awesome by the way - and just about a block away from her house on the side of the road was an old bay window and some shutters underneath. I told Melanie but we were in a hurry to get to the movie so we decided i would drive by on the way home and see if they were still there. Guess what? They were still there and boy was it hard work to get them un-pinned from behind the big huge window. There was 4 of them in 2 different sizes and i was thrilled beyond thrilled and smiled all the way home. I'm not sure what to do with them yet, any suggestions anyone? I snapped a quick picture to show off my side of the road finds!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">So last week Kevin was gone and in Vegas lucky bum, so i decided i would take the opportunity to surprise him with a new bedroom. Some of you may remember a bed i found on kijiji months ago - it was a captains bed for a queen size bed which was really cool and it was only $50 so i snapped it up right away - the pieces of this bed fit the entire back of the truck including the back seat - it was huge and i knew it was going to be alot of work but boy was it a big project. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank god i had one of my best friends, Michele to help me. I don't even know how many hours it took - she helped me for at least 3 solid days which includes a ton of sanding, getting it into my RAV4 and her little Nissan Versa (we had to be very creative) and putting the bed together with NO directions. I've never been handy in the way of putting things together even if it was Ikea furniture but Michele is very good at it so i was very grateful she was with me for this project. It was difficult even for her but we eventually figured it out. Well i should be honest here and let you know that Kevin got home and we weren't even done yet - we did most of it ourselves but when Kevin saw it we (as in he) figured out that we were missing some pieces. He was so surprised to see what we had done - he didn't expect it at all (of coarse the reveal would have been much better if it was actually finished when he got home), so off we went to my shop to find the missing pieces... They were hidden under a bunch of furniture and junk in my "shop", isn't that a shocker lol! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">All is good except for two pieces of the bed are blue right now because they didn't get painted - ooohh i was mad at myself because once we found them i remembered that i was the one that put those pieces were we found them - oh well mistakes happen right? So can you guess what colour i chose to paint the bed? </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are the before & during pictures of the bed.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">So this is the reason i haven't been blogging much for the past week - later on this week i will have the after pictures to show you. I wish i would have remembered to take before pictures of our bedroom when we still had the furniture in it - i have pictures with the walls patched so i'm sure you can picture how hideous the room was with the before shots of the paint on the walls and the lovely blinds that have been hanging up for a million years (i will show you those pictures in a couple of days). Kevin was so surprised and couldn't believe i did all of that in only one week. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I still have beside tables and stereo table to paint before the room is completely finished but i love it so much already!!!!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
