Still out there?
how goes it?
we are definitely not living the existence that we thought we would be right now...
but
I do know that after all is said and done
we will be picking ourselves up and dusting ourselves off ...
with all hopes that we will have something resembling what life was like before...
onward. we. go.
New Dining Room!!!
we tend to get technical after the holidays
we take stock of what worked,
how many ppl we need to probably prep for next season...
and how to make it easier
we do not want these fun times to feel like a chore
so we took our downstairs sitting room with the wood stove
and
turned it into a dining room!!!!
do you recognize that table?
yep its the old one from the kitchen!
its a bit wobbly
and a lil too narrow
time to find something else
but a nice first try
how the sitting room used to look like
this was definitely a good first draft
the widows and the sun!
we are now making any excuse to be in there!
here's the 5 legged hand-me-down
how old is it?
from the 1920s? 40s? 50s? 60s?
the jury is out on that...
I do know for a fact that it was my grandmothers kitchen table
but
lets back up a bit to the transformation...
took all the cozy furniture to the snug down the hall
what's a snug... its a den...
Charli is helping.
took the ruggy rug upstairs to the bedroom...
its now part of the meditation corner of the bedroom...
I'll prob blog about that soon...
I'm cleaning out all the clutter etc...
see all the extra rugs now...
still re-distributing them...
hey
isn't that that rug y'all got from target a while back
that was supposed to go under the bed...?
yuppers
let me tell you something...
sometimes things come into this house
and it seems really automatic
what its for or where its going to go...
then sometimes this happens...
there's what feels like procrastination.
its not.
the rug was definitely made for this!
lol
so don't beat yourself up for hesitating on a project
the best possible outcome is just BREWING...
let it
trust it.
be patient.
and look at how well it goes under the table!!!
lil tip:
this rug was 8 x 10 on sale for like $80 with free shipping from target online
I tend to stalk the sales for rugs
then we couple that with our red card discount
I'm not affiliated with the targs...
just a tip from me to you
;-)
close up
Charli is still helping...
the center leg was missing its castor
and correct me if I'm wrong here
most kitchen tables with castors like this were probably
used way way back because they didn't usually have a ton of counter space
and needed something they could easily slide over to wherever was useful
and then slid back easily without needing help or scratching the floor...
if so
this may be great grandmas table...
ooooooooooooooo
of course because I'm a pack rat girl scout
I had a wee wooden castor in an old tool box
in the cellar
I've had that thing sooooooo long
I don't even remember where I got it
or found it
or what it came off of...
FATE
pretty sweet
remember
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm not really sure why these pics have positioned themselves side by side............................................
but we are just going to let them be... cuz they cute.
this is where I'm sitting now
so frikkin cozy
and I frikkin love cozy!!!
so here we are
spring
season of rebirth
what are you all doing during this time?
are you guys working from home?
I've got some paint and crowbar type projects coming up
literally
in just a day...
wwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
we tear it down to build it up!
k kids... just wait... you'll see the next incarnation of this lovely table soon...
hope you all are riding the waves of life well.

I'm proud of you, & you are loved.
