and the corner china cabinet that will arrive from Langley later this summer.
But check this out... new dining room set and new "Navajo" patterned rug. I went to my favourite thrift store mall 'cause there's a shop there that sells Avon, and I was in desperate need of some Skin So Soft - Arizona is DRY! Anyway, just outside the door of that shop were some rugs for sale, and I found this one for $10. You heard me right... $10! Just needed some serious washing, but init purdy????
Did you notice that my Mothers' Day flowers still look great?
And there's more news on the shopping/decorating front. You know the plan was to recover the purple-y sleeper sofa in the living room with drop cloth material, right? Well, His Grace has finally indicated that the sofa is not only ugly, it's also uncomfortable. Which means that I get to hunt for a replacement sofa and chair! Awesomesauce... back to the Lutheran Thrift Store ('cause they deliver, and they have probably the best selection).
However, the brilliant drape plan is still on. I went to Ace Hardware just up the street today and bought a small drop cloth to test my idea. I had to go to Office Max to find full sheet labels, and it was a bit iffy running it through the printer, but I think it's going to work. Here's my test sample done using instructions from this blogsite: http://www.myrepurposedlife.com/2010/08/printing-on-fabric.html
And while I was at Ace, I bought the stuff I need to start on painting my night stand. The excitement is palpable!
