Weekend review: Furniture and a trip to Lowes!

This weekend was a busy one, of course, welcome to my life right?

Saturday we finally, after 4 months of waiting got our custom made furniture in! We ordered two end tables and a tv stand for the living room. I had to get a specific size tv stand to fit where it is going perfectly! I also had a custom made L-shaped desk made. It's awesome!

There is an Amish woodworker just ten minutes from our house who builds custom furniture, and beautiful ones at that. He actually uses 19th century barn wood to craft all his furniture, so not only does it look great, but it has a history, how cool is that?

I will definitely have some pics to show you once they are all finished up, we are actually staining them ourselves, which one was cheaper and two is much more fun!

It rained ALL day Sunday, so dreary, but we definitely needed the rain. When it rains I just want to sit in bed all day in my PJ's, watch movies, and be a totally lazy ass. I couldn't do this of course.

We made another trip to Lowes on Sunday to get some more items we need for the house.. (5 days people!)

We are also making ANOTHER trip tonight to get all the paint that we need. Who would have thought that picking out paint would be so damn hard? Maybe it's just me, I am just so indecisive its ridiculous, and I know it.

Sunday night I tried to become Martha Stewart and did a pretty damn good job of getting close. (maybe?) I have been wanting to learn how to sew on a sewing machine, yes, I have never sewn on a machine before, it's a little loco, but I did it, and I got the hang of it after awhile. I was pretty proud of myself.. I have lots of pics and details I can show you.. that will have to be in another post, maybe tomorrow's? To sum it up... I made a clothes pin bag and a plastic trash-bag holder... pretty nifty I'd say. I like them... they may not be perfect, but for my first time, I'll give myself a pat on the back.

This week will be super busy... but I'm ready for it!
