Yeran thinks your ottoman is lovely. She also is extrememly fond of red and white.

Bekah, do you still have that essay about someone who got a chest-of-drawers at a yard sale to refinish, and after removing all the paint there was nothing left? You had it in High School, or maybe even in Jr. High

Looking forward to regular posts.

Okay, I read that chapter in The Hidden Art of Homemaking where she turned packing crates into beautiful stools and such, but I had yet to see anyone who could actually do what she was talking about!

I found some funky black vinyl chairs for my living room that had some rips on the arms. They were such a good deal, that I couldn’t pass them up, I just said that I would find a way to patch them up. Guess what - yeah, the holes are still there.

Can you come and give me lessons?

Cute! The pouffe goes with the lovely red & white dealio in the background. Add a little black trim and it will look Asian.

Trends were kept out of my life, so I have no Strawberry Shortcake associations. I love anything red & white, blue & white, or black & white

I think the pouffe thingy is really fun, even if it sort of brings me back to the day.

Now that I have seen the other photo of Judah, he is so very adorable! He is built like my youngest son, who is now 20m. He can take on my 5 yr. old!

Love everything, the lad, the Poofy polkadott thing, the bin( or whatever it is) the painting and the Mrs. Merkle’s amazing ability to adapt.

I noticed the bin and painting right away, too, and I think altogether they look very lovely! I would not have thought “Shortcake” unless you mentioned it as well. It’s all very cheerful.

Oh, and that little fellow looks as sturdy a lad as I’ve ever seen. You must be proud of him.

With a hearth like that she could 70’s avocado shag rugs and a paisley couch and still have an outstanding living room. It’s gorgeous.

However, I must say that I’m inspired that you are able to do so much in such a short space of time. And on so little.

Are you certain he’s actually standing guard and not crushing Shortcake underfoot?

The blackberry painting is lovely.
