So jealous

Ok, as y'all know I've been blog hopping. I am so jealous of the kitchens that I've been seeing. I need to get my butt busy. I would post the pictures I collected but I can't remember for the life of me where they came from so I won't post.


I've got this buffet that needs to be re-done but it has that wood veneer on it. At least, that's what I think it is. I'll be right back. I'm gonna take pictures and put them up. I promise. Let me know what y'all think about it. BRB.

I'm back with the pictures....

So what do you think? Do I remove the veneer and paint white? Or just leave as is? I want to eventually put this in my kitchen. But, right now my bird cages are there.

This is Haley...

And this is Bam...

Know what....?

I don't understand why most beach cottage blog sites come from Australia. Don't get me wrong, I love Australia and hope to go there one day but we have beaches, too. :o)

Does anyone have any good links to any "how to" blogs of how to decorate and... well crap, I can't think of how I need to say what I want. I mean, I love vintage decor, cottage decor, vintage beach decor, flea market and thrifty decor. I guess what I'm trying to say is, does anyone have any good tutorial sites on how to do this kind of stuff? Or even how to place things. You see, when it comes to decorating, I have NO IDEA of how to do it. I can't even place my furniture right. It stinks :o)

I live in central Ohio. I've done so many searches of (what is it called...) architectural scrap places, I guess. I can't find any. There's a lot of thrift stores and I plan on going to those but I would love to go to one of those "stores". It's architetural salvage yard! YAY ME!! Oh, and I hate going to yard sales. When my sister and I were little our mom would drag us from yard sale to yard sale. A friend of mine loves it and gets many great things from them. I guess I need to get away from the "hate to" and just go.

If anyone can help me out I would love it. :o)

It's been a looooong time

Well, here I am again. I just don't know what to do with a blog or know how people do this day after day. I've been looking at so many blogs and have gotten so many ideas of what to do with my house.

I've been refinishing my living room tables and I simply adore them! I finished my coffee table and now working on an end table. When I get my pictures put on my computer (hubby built me a new one) I'll post them, PLEASE if anyone is reading this would you leave me a comment and let me know what you think? I would really love that.

I'm gonna go for now...

TTFN!

HELP....

I need help.


Period 

Today has been a shitty day. I'm just tired of it all. I need to go to my bestie's house but I got 3 1/2 months to go. :*o(

Certain types of blogs.

I have been trying to find certain types of blogs. You know the ones, the crafty, shabby chic, beachy, cottage type. I'm at a loss, I've searched to my little hearts content and have found nothing that I want. Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction? Is there a webring or something like that that has a list of types of blogs? Just wondering and needing some ideas on how to decorate my house. 

My Craft Room

I am definitely working on my craft room today. I really need to get it done so that I can get the rest of the stuff built. Either me or hubby are going to put in a really nice L shaped desk and then put up more shelves. I would really love to have some of those JetMax cubes  from Michael's. That'll never happen. Hubby won't pay $30/cube. I'm sure we, he, or me could make something similar. I just want my room to be pretty, know what I mean? Here's a picture of what my room looks like now.

 
It's a mess, huh? Oh, see that blue dresser? I re-done that. It was horrible looking. I painted it and replaced the original dresser hardware with porcelain knobs and also put some wallies on it. It's not that bad.

Anyway, there's this scrapbooking forum I go to at Scrapbook.com that has a gallery of so many gorgeous rooms. Mine will never look like any of them cuz I don't have an eye for decorating at all. I'm hopeless. LOL


I need to get busy. TTFN! XOXOXO

A Purpose?

Ya know, I wish I had some purpose in life. I go on day to day doing random stuff and I feel as if it really doesn't matter. Sometimes I sit on my ass and do nothing. Unfortunately I am one of many that suffer from depression. I know I have things to do but I just can't bring myself to do anything. Like right now I'm feeling a little worthless. This is so hard to deal with but I've been dealing with it for years. So, life goes on. 
One bright thing that happened last night is my hubby bought my ticket to Connecticut so I can visit with my bestie. I'm sure I've talked about her. I've had best friends before but no one is like Paula. It's funny cuz she's a girly girl and I'm not. She has tried to make me a girly girl and has won to an extent. I'm now addicted to handbags (Dooney & Bourke is my fave) and shoes. I've become addicted to boots (love Steve Madden). This is all so funny to me because just 10 years ago, before I moved to the city (I lived in hicksville central), I knew nothing of this. I never carried a purse. The only thing I carried with me was my drivers license and some cash. The only time I carried anything that resembled a purse was when my boys were in diapers and I had to carry a diaper bag. The only shoe that I knew was a sneaker. I wore Reeboks. But anyway, I love her and I miss her sooooo much. I know I'm repeating myself just like Dr. Oz, for some reason he's a re-run. Who knows....

So, as I was saying, do I really have a purpose? I take care of my many animals. I don't know if they're the only ones that really need me. My hubby needs me every third day to get him up in the morning so he can go to work. He needs me to make his iced tea cuz he can't make it taste as good as I can. Yeah right, he just doesn't want to get up and get it himself. Then I have my 20 year old son. I bawled my eyes out when he turned 18. It's funny cuz I didn't do that when my oldest (he's 26) turned 18. My "baby" still hugs me and tells me he loves me. My oldest does that when he visits. I don't know why I'm so attached to him. Maybe it is because he's the "baby". Shit, I don't know. 

I gotta get dressed. TTFN!! XOXOXO
