Randomness

Middle child threw a fit today in a store. One of those, everyone-is-looking-at-you-and-you-are-a-bad- mother kind of fits. It was miserable.

I forgot to show you Nicole's gift, cause she won, sorry to the rest of you!

Nicole, you'll get more than just one coaster, maybe 2. or 3. or 4. And yes, she is getting the now infamous PB knockoff urns. Lucky gal! But, remember, pictures are deceiving and they were made from stuff I had here at home....so don't be too hard on me!

I got these at Ikea this weekend. I am in love. Although, to be perfectly honest I imagine they won't get used all that much....


 

I labeled them with my label maker. I love that thing.

And finally. I found this beauty:

I need some input. I picked up a drop cloth to cover it. But THEN, then I saw this at Joann's when I was getting the cushion (fortunately I had a 40% off coupon for that foam!):


Isn't it gorgeous?! I picked up 2 yards. 30% off.

Here's my question: Do I do the front of the chair in this fabric? Or just the cushion? Or just a pillow? I am so struggling with this! I need help!

I've already torn the chair apart and I will do a step by step post for those that are interested. It's going to be a tough one. I already pulled out 8,457 staples.

Let me know what you think!

  1. I <3 that fabric, but maybe a bit bright for the whole chair ( I would do it anyway lol)

    With those ikea spice things, dont put them in the dishwasher- cos then they rust.....
