A Saturday

So today we spent 10 hours working on gluing down the living room floor. That included me gluing my foot to my leg and later my leg to the floor. Not a great feeling but yes, you can go ahead and laugh if ya want to!:) The Hubster had a few chuckles that is till he got glue on his leg. I offered him up a waxing treatment but he passed!;)

I am over the moon with how the floor not only looks but now feels!!! I am especially excited because we managed to not use any transfers!! I was not sure we would be able to pull it off since the tile from the kitchen to the living room was cut uneven but thanx to my ever so patient Hubster...okay maybe not so patient but definitely loving and tolerant...it all worked out in the end. I am a perfectionist and though he knows I get it honest from my mama it still drives him insane at times.

I am pretending that this spot does not exists in my house!
Around 6:30 the boys were protesting and hungry and well Sarah's Vacation House was coming on at 7 on HGTV and we were plum wore out so we decided to stop here.  With it being Mother's Day and all tomorrow we may or may not finish it up and start on the shoe molding.

While chilling after dinner I browsed the local yard sale site and came up lucky on some things still being available.

Tomorrow we are going to go and look at this. $60 and needs some loving but I can do that. I think I have the perfect spot for it. The mirror frame I am thinking may become a chalk board or bulletin board upstairs for the boys in the lil' built in desk area.

Same lady has these two sets of plantation shutters for $25 for all! Pop um out of their frames and take off the hardware, throw a lil' paint on um and I have the perfect spot for at least two of them and I am sure can find somewhere for the other two. 

I also saw this table and chairs set. It is only $25 and would be perfect to refinish and sell! Not sure this one is still avail though.

Then there are three of these Southern Living At Home Sconces! She said they were $35 a piece which I believe and she just wants $10 a piece. I only need two.
  I now need to decide how much I really want each of these items. All great prices but not sure I am willing to part with my frenchy end table money just yet!;)

Also in case I do not get a chance to hop back on tomorrow Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's out there! I hope y'all have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter! Love ya Mama and Nana!
