And they don't look half bad right?? Granted they're not the most gorgeous things in the world but they're sturdy and in good shape and I figure down the road if I'm motivated I can paint the chairs or get some cute cushions to jazz them up. Plus since I got them on the cheap I wont feel guilty getting new chairs when we're a little more financially secure and I can actually get the upholstered parsons chairs I've been dreaming of.
And since Jim and I are desperately trying to conquer the mail monster and all the junk that lands on the kitchen counter daily (okay, my junk that lands on the counter, geez) when I saw this puppy in the clearance section of HomeGoods I snapped it up.
She was a little dirty and battered and had some scratches but with some elbow grease and one of those 'color sample' sized pots of paint we ended up with this teal beauty.
I probably could have done a 3rd coat of paint, since it reads kind of streaky in certain light, but it looks good enough to stay on the wall until I feel like making a mess again.
I also found some vintage glass bottles and a vase at Savers that fed my love of teal and funky glassware. They're camped out on top of the kitchen cabinet now with the awesome candle houses my Mom got me for my birthday last year.
Now, I realized it's been ages since you've seen pictures of Penelope, so let's have some doggy time!
Isn't this the cutest face??
Isn't she just so serious?!? Until I tied a cape (err... blanket) around her and we enjoyed the antics of Superdog!
Superdog want's a biscuit dammit.
Now Superdog needs a nap. This is what Penny spends most of her time doing. Napping. It's a tough life being a dog. She's usually playing speedbump in the living room, the middle of the kitchen or under the bed.
At least, when she's not just being cool.
