I learned something today. Do not work out really, really hard (especially during the squat track in a Body Pump class) when you’re later delivering stuff to your room in an antique store that is on the third floor. I just about collapsed carrying a box of stuff up to my space. My legs and arms were shaking. Lesson learned.
Anyway, it’s nice to be snuggled on the couch with my laptop warming my sore quads. Here are my favorite links from last week…
The second I saw this cupboard by Lisa from Recaptured Charm, it was love. True love. Like, Buttercup and Wesley love. Lisa took a “eh” mirrored armoire and turned it into a “pie safe” that looks like it was plucked right out of a farm house. Lisa and I go way back and this is by far my favorite thing she has ever done. I want to steal it right off the page…in a nice, non-larceny kind of way.
Enjoy the party!

I know the exact jello-leg feeling you experienced today! Our workout area is above our garage, accessed by an outdoor staircase. Whenever I do a really tough workout, I have to hold on to the rail for fear that my legs may give out and leave me tumbling to my death. Luckily, I'm not usually carrying furniture at the time 🙂
Good for you for working out today. I may have to do that tomorrow as I'm sitting here eating a big bowl of ice cream! Thanks for hosting 🙂
So flattered…AND insanely jealous of your amazing writing skills.
Exercise, a job, blogging, kids, housework, etc is sooo much to handle. I gained EIGHT pounds my first two months of furniture refinishing, so I totally feel your pain. My problem (and maybe you're experiencing the same thing) is that when I diet and exercise I don't have as much mental energy and enthusiasm for my furniture. Plus, healthy meals take time – candy bars are much more efficient 🙂

Wonderful inspiration! I have a salvaged from the curb coffess table that needed inspiration, and much cooler days to work on.
Of course, I already knew I liked you because of your wonderful blog, but with a reference to Wesley and Buttercup…you are a kindred spirit! Rest those quads.
oops, I got my hutch in here twice..didn't think the first one worked, did another and both photos are showing up. I'm very sorry. Feel free to delete one, if you want.
Thanks for hosting.

You do BODYPUMP?!?!?! I love that class! Sorry, I know that's not exactly a home decor comment, but I love love love your blog…even though my house looks nothing like a pulled together masterpiece. Anyways, classes like bodypump and bodycombat have become my staple at the gym and I've never loved working out as much as I do now!
log furniture is available in a number of local log furniture stores, lifestyle and online. The furniture is mostly made by hand, and rarely done with the help of electric drills and other tools.
