We found this at a little flea market, we payed 10 dollars for it, the paint was chipped and pealing, the padding was icky. James sanded it, stained it, and glossed it, put a new cloth and padding on it and here it is. I love it!! The padding will smooth itself down with use. The girls have been sitting on it today and I already see it smooching and smoothing down. I am excited to get this into my studio. We will probably start painting my studio this weekend. I chose a color called swan grey. I think I will put chocolate boarders around the room too. Then the curtains. I am hoping I can find some nice matching ones or have a friend of mine make them until I get my sewing machine! I also got some awesome oriental umbrellas. I am just so excited to get into the studio!!!!

We have been having such a hard time with the paper and trying to get the puppies advertised there. It was supposed to be in on Friday and that didn't happen, I called them and she said she had it on the wrong day. She also told me it was to late to go into Saturdays paper so the earliest it could go in was Sunday and she would give me 2 days for free. So the add would be run Sunday-Tuesday. Well it wasn't in Sundays paper. I called and they are not in on Sundays. Called Monday and she said she put it to start next Sunday again and she was sorry so she would give me my whole add for free. Well, I wanted it to run in a Sunday paper so she gave me 3 extra days at half price. I was excited. It was supposed to be in Tuesday-Sunday. Checked today and it is not in there again!!! By this time I am just pissed off. I called again and she said she doesn't know what happened and because I am having such a problem with getting this add in she would give me the whole thing for free again. So NOW I am supposed to have my add in Wednesdays-Sundays paper. Yeah, won't hold my breath!
