Girl power shot

I finished off the dining chair over haul with the help of my darling children ,they wanted to help pull out the old staples and they did a great job too , it allowed me to try out my newest tool the powershot arrow stapler , such an easy stapler to use , going from an electric one to this is a pleasure ,I give it five stars for sure , easy on the hand.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLiC2f1XehWBed5ZCYpPkdADFlRQTTQvaXusgVaWrWYLdAlSodkscL7lYjCkwlT2-MwneZq-bDJ5_DoRk-ft67xEvIG1SWVP-H_GIkMBfP_SWv-QOLP5lPQoSC44NKUf6mOYIWxojfHhN/s1600-h/100_3101.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206663392675374482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLiC2f1XehWBed5ZCYpPkdADFlRQTTQvaXusgVaWrWYLdAlSodkscL7lYjCkwlT2-MwneZq-bDJ5_DoRk-ft67xEvIG1SWVP-H_GIkMBfP_SWv-QOLP5lPQoSC44NKUf6mOYIWxojfHhN/s400/100_3101.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I love the black nail heads it gives just the right amount of contrast to make the chairs pop just a little.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOXXp8zeHnDySYbUAgqz9ppQoJvkP7khCLagTuU-cpVxBwZ1MuZ6li_sxIOOjGxEzQkGVTkjf7LqH75PWssW_kNFDgoXK5f4OMIQsmC9u8wi1UxB8s4FWrdbzGipT-z2K7866nj828tXS2/s1600-h/2008662h.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206663396970341794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOXXp8zeHnDySYbUAgqz9ppQoJvkP7khCLagTuU-cpVxBwZ1MuZ6li_sxIOOjGxEzQkGVTkjf7LqH75PWssW_kNFDgoXK5f4OMIQsmC9u8wi1UxB8s4FWrdbzGipT-z2K7866nj828tXS2/s400/2008662h.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I looked into getting a smaller cabinet for above my new fabulous fridge but at $240-$360 just for one box and two doors , I think I can come up with a better option like an open cabinet with beadboard and charm.<br /><div></div>

Pretty paisley

<span style="color:#66cccc;">After trying the floral curtains and getting Sophie's thumb down I took them down , maybe I am bored of the existing drapes I have always had those and they are safe , I like the striped carpet in there is brings life that room , I know its the fabric on the chairs , it has been there for two years and it doesn't jive with the carpet , it wasn't costly fabric, most likely cheap knowing me . I took the girls out with me after work , didn't tell them we were going to the fabric store they always balk about that , and after looking and looking there it was the perfect fabric, a linen polyester paisley in all my colors and the perfect background blue, it will look so good , I ran out of steam last night after detailing my fridge freezer, so I will do that sometime today , I will surely show you later. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_M1paotHUE_QB4nFjtbFqwVYazeu9uaA6ErwQTAC89E1ZhoUJFGDFluQumyMVCD0RUm_a2Pa0wtoChtqPFCuJ6ef-MY3HvZwIBgct27tUlmWgBibZnOdZ63ifV8iyqJh5VsjDuOAYf2p/s1600-h/100_3082.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205770172621792370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_M1paotHUE_QB4nFjtbFqwVYazeu9uaA6ErwQTAC89E1ZhoUJFGDFluQumyMVCD0RUm_a2Pa0wtoChtqPFCuJ6ef-MY3HvZwIBgct27tUlmWgBibZnOdZ63ifV8iyqJh5VsjDuOAYf2p/s400/100_3082.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><div></div>

I decided to try these floral print drapes I had that were just lying around from my kitchen , they aren't long enough on their own so I layered them over the existing beige ones , what do you think ? , I think this counts as a mistreatment and term I have been reading about on blogs, I think it is fun a little change , the fabric goes so well with the carpet and the yellows in the other sitting area are repeated in this fabric. I am now going to call this my breakfast room , it looks more like that to me .<br />I am going to get rid of those pink candles right now , too much .<br /><div></div>

the weekend work

The weather  is working in our favour this weekend, so there is much to be done, apparently I make my husband anxious when I work non stop on the weekends, blah blah blah , lazy bum, I don't ask for much help from him anyway I do my thing as I can , got some more screws in the deck, painted the lantern below, cuter huh! , ripped up some grass and put down more beach pebbles , stained the front steps with concrete stain , who knew they made that , cool , much improved my steps, planted my window boxes , got rid of two bamboo and wicker shelves that were ugly and taking up precious space, they left to make room in the basement , it needs to get started finally. planted some hostas in the front garden, warded off comments about my busy nature from neighbours , tended to the front patch of grass , completely neglected anything that needed doing inside, made a complete mess of my hands , the price I pay for work getting done. Had two kids sleep over on consecutive nights.....I think that is it , oh nope scraped off some peeling paint in the front of the house and caulked as well on the top of my 10 ft ladder. Yes that is it , but it is 2:00 on Sunday so I will try to get a little bit more done a few more screws and perhaps get some umbrella jewelry , oh wait I also helped and insisted that my dad come by and gather his boxes that we have been storing for 4 years oh maybe less , donated many boxes to goodwill. Feeling less cluttered now. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlpWWRb-WeXV-etbklmGBQ3fdnxOqJ_G31zNOhJ8JiYO6CoDRbs4XzgxH06UaEK9zLLJjw-B1liBBYxVBi4JLgKay0XKlmIMhLvl_pcQOmO-xwwEQ81idYLZi3b6wQdjZDSLeZRbzckxx/s1600-h/100_3052.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204379732794286994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlpWWRb-WeXV-etbklmGBQ3fdnxOqJ_G31zNOhJ8JiYO6CoDRbs4XzgxH06UaEK9zLLJjw-B1liBBYxVBi4JLgKay0XKlmIMhLvl_pcQOmO-xwwEQ81idYLZi3b6wQdjZDSLeZRbzckxx/s400/100_3052.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidAD89FOjLUHi4gdOs3lHwKrAGXqu9Jq7ffDmzAoooEVZsSRdIGMXw7sX_liaaN9T8XJn4LiAILZ5nEIrhl-PlZ3x8z_VuJkCy93So-JTneU1sBJeOMg29BYufwlFy_yuZ8xy4Zxb1kvS3/s1600-h/100_3055.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204379762859058082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidAD89FOjLUHi4gdOs3lHwKrAGXqu9Jq7ffDmzAoooEVZsSRdIGMXw7sX_liaaN9T8XJn4LiAILZ5nEIrhl-PlZ3x8z_VuJkCy93So-JTneU1sBJeOMg29BYufwlFy_yuZ8xy4Zxb1kvS3/s400/100_3055.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGfeeiqoT_w-aNVtpUJVC5qU-AyFInhgBp8g1S0ELtlmwuEPezfnPFdo1Uyb78miptb4vCQPfB3SfoeQDKTDY-1M32LyqaowStm9MtK0HIlBQdgaXBwYgakL4dIXqrSMyoEQ1Zzk6kQGi/s1600-h/100_3057.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204379792923829170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGfeeiqoT_w-aNVtpUJVC5qU-AyFInhgBp8g1S0ELtlmwuEPezfnPFdo1Uyb78miptb4vCQPfB3SfoeQDKTDY-1M32LyqaowStm9MtK0HIlBQdgaXBwYgakL4dIXqrSMyoEQ1Zzk6kQGi/s400/100_3057.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibISkKfG0M7dFfGnCP-sYfzGFnXpMBVdpwlLuak07v_wVtaIZwvlW8GEtHspKWP-EEIxv1l6KBkpKysOR-p_X_AodMg4dluwiBCFNqVx_i4ly6AOjXRaeV_Hlj_AU1nLLSIY5YcVXjVHU/s1600-h/100_3059.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204379801513763794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibISkKfG0M7dFfGnCP-sYfzGFnXpMBVdpwlLuak07v_wVtaIZwvlW8GEtHspKWP-EEIxv1l6KBkpKysOR-p_X_AodMg4dluwiBCFNqVx_i4ly6AOjXRaeV_Hlj_AU1nLLSIY5YcVXjVHU/s400/100_3059.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwi2qO6yQw0FqsQfcs1zvRcTGxZOvnK9jL18aVSQD-iPzys8GnCUas99i6kH9FRMYPxksedPxqMGFpqyXOVJMkTwbnAYdCgdB4sWJ2aAOPd_qTtBLUS7KyZb404yqUQGbZxFLdtmC4g9Te/s1600-h/100_3056.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204379810103698418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwi2qO6yQw0FqsQfcs1zvRcTGxZOvnK9jL18aVSQD-iPzys8GnCUas99i6kH9FRMYPxksedPxqMGFpqyXOVJMkTwbnAYdCgdB4sWJ2aAOPd_qTtBLUS7KyZb404yqUQGbZxFLdtmC4g9Te/s400/100_3056.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><div></div>

Back up , this must be some kind of sick joke...

<span style="color:#ff0000;">I am so upset right now , I got the mail to find a horrific sight  , a return slip for my fridge I am waiting on, I feel sick to my stomach still, I called and freaked out , how can this happen , no one spoke directly to me prior to making this decision , this was made in error to a request I had made to customer service regarding which exact model I had purchased one with or without ice making, after my inquiry I called back to make sure everything was on track it was until today , 7 days before this is to arrive, the manager assured me after I had a complete meltdown that she could order one to the store and deliver it locally , why did I need to flip out to get some help, I am not a big <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">reactor</span> , trust me , and if it weren't for the fact that because of my daughters peanut allergy and therefore that fact that I am baking the wedding cake for my mother's wedding I would not normally freak out , but I have this obligation as well as 6 people to feed on any given day and a nice man coming to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">take</span> my current fridge away to help a family in need he has been patiently waiting now along with me . Unbelievable, they will get me a loaner fridge if they can't get mine in time , great but that is sad to say the least.</span>

Mudroom Magic

I really do love my home, it is not large , it is 1890 sq ft , a fine size to me, considered small by many I am sure , but it has two ground floor living rooms, seperate dining room , eat in kitchen and three bedrooms the master which is quite large and one bedroom which is also quite large for a child's bedroom and a smaller room with a covered porch , two and a half baths, a great wish list , this house's short comings are that is is a small lot , and the houses are very close and the house's lack privacy, we only have one garage and a single drive , so as you can imagine that can be a pain, the garage has never had a car in it , nor will it , it is purely for storage and that is fine.<br />I have always wanted a mudroom , this house lacks storage, partly my fault, you can never under estimate storage space as I did.<br />I have considered adding on to the back of the house a mudroom laundry room , but a foundation and the expense would not make any sense. To move to get a mudroom one extra parking space and one extra and a not  needed bedroom would cost a mere additional $100,000.00 to the mortgage , not to mention the property taxes , as this area is known as the highest in the GTA in Toronto they pay much less than we do ,annoying, but we have nearly crime free living , new schools , rec centers and brand new shopping & resturants , everything you need to exist in a 10 minute walk away , so it is very worth the extra dough.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvuCsGtAnvPWwVJ5KGl_SmDPShyphenhyphenSsPUBPYhvBSrKBSdjWdrprdttQDMUwa4OmUC6IX1zan7bGjlOayM-iwq4gRjhXtCPIHc7AS2NZQOFAYGPOqsY5tuhnDXQ1V8hW1-qk1jVY5_W_05ew/s1600-h/4619649.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202836633518146866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvuCsGtAnvPWwVJ5KGl_SmDPShyphenhyphenSsPUBPYhvBSrKBSdjWdrprdttQDMUwa4OmUC6IX1zan7bGjlOayM-iwq4gRjhXtCPIHc7AS2NZQOFAYGPOqsY5tuhnDXQ1V8hW1-qk1jVY5_W_05ew/s400/4619649.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> Back to my mudroom , now where can that go , well into the back portion of my garage , I can make an open entrance where a garage entrance was an option which I choose not to have done at the time of building, I can use up a third of the garage space and create a mudroom , it will be a short walk from the front door as well we can do a door from the garage as well. I can see it now, are you with me here. There is already water there so potentially I could have laundry and a wash basin for cleaning those grubby dogs I have. Oh my we could live here for ever , as the basement will now be left for two roomy offices and a craft space , yippee I am so excited , can't say when this will happen but it is the perfect idea, plenty of people turn their garages into living space , yuck , so why can't I carve out an awesome mudroom in mine.<br /><a href="http://restyledhome.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202836642108081474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50yxzkEX-ObEwkSsxz-0uPKm6e0O0-UMiXWi45vY0Zcj0MqDnhOkrwdE-f6r0voCJ0ZttHWG98ePpr0CXBuJRV-cvzezJwnUiGnIRtK2GJFuGat17RVsXPaPpPhu-U8nNJhh4U0KukSQ9/s400/March%252Btill%252BEaster%252B07%252B064.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> Linda's</a> mudroom , stunning and inspirational.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKnaNTzPPgQ4lcSl_Rrjq_UPVbvuCj4eaMcZqE_e25NcsqkHN6hdfA-Zhnu5FobH41ixklxijdt78nEReDBN5cSxQ9KaunxsYEJW2-pTzQiMD7dNcQ43HyfzRGMQ3Cubss-x0r2N_Olsm/s1600-h/photo_laundry_1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202836650698016082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKnaNTzPPgQ4lcSl_Rrjq_UPVbvuCj4eaMcZqE_e25NcsqkHN6hdfA-Zhnu5FobH41ixklxijdt78nEReDBN5cSxQ9KaunxsYEJW2-pTzQiMD7dNcQ43HyfzRGMQ3Cubss-x0r2N_Olsm/s400/photo_laundry_1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> Ok I have got it , I will raise the floor so that it is one step down from the hall into this room , with a pocket door , heated tile floors ,easy clean, open lockers of course.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8viIisr9FJyPJyCkvYwFo6D5oY-lzg8uTr-MArC6O0L2QEe1ObpINC0M9jiztofLtxqHYVSpHeT1Q5nYkxgPzUgS2E1xpNMwPqZopUcN_EQEu89p2Kpfos_-_J0BsbhzbvW-8z68Si0zP/s1600-h/mud+room+1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202836650698016098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8viIisr9FJyPJyCkvYwFo6D5oY-lzg8uTr-MArC6O0L2QEe1ObpINC0M9jiztofLtxqHYVSpHeT1Q5nYkxgPzUgS2E1xpNMwPqZopUcN_EQEu89p2Kpfos_-_J0BsbhzbvW-8z68Si0zP/s400/mud+room+1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> This is the ah ha mudroom above that has started the whole thing.
