VIctory is Sweet

If you all could see me now (all three of you who read this) you would be witnessing my victory dance in all its glory. Steve thinks I am annoying - but I just can't help myself! I sold my couch today, hooray! I had it on craigslist for a week and still hadn't had anyone come and look at my couch (I had plenty of scammers though) and I was getting sad and moping around. Today was my lucky day though. A nice young LDS couple with a little 1 year old boy and a little girl on the way are now housing my couch. I hope they love and care for it as much as I did :) I was able to sell if for $550 - needless to say I made a pretty good profit. Enough to buy a nice staple gun, which is all this cowgirl really cares about. I am already working on another chair I got for pennies at Goodwill last Saturday at "half off" day ( I may have had to elbow a few people to get to it first, but I came out victorious in the end). I am really excited about this chair, the fabric I am using is awesome. If you can't tell that I am totally obsessed with all things upholstery right now, I am. So, with great effort I shall talk about something other than the fact that I sold a couch today - I know its really not that interesting to anyone but me. Nevermind. I can't. I can't talk about anything else, so I'll just stop - talking that is.

  4. Andrew bought this hideous couch and two chairs before we bought our house.... the chairs are like lime green and the couch is totally sixties... I am trying to talk andrew into getting rid of them so i can get a new sectional...maybe you can redo them:) can you do pillows too? I would be interested in paying you to do our couch, (not the hideous one andrew bought):)

    1. Mandy,
      I would love to redo your chairs - however, since I have not done all types of furniture I am selective about what projects I will take on for other people. I would hate to experiment on your stuff :) Send me a picture of the furniture you want redone and I will let you know if it is something I can handle. my email is ginger.ladine@gmail.com. Oh, and I can do pillows too, for sure.

  5. You probably would have sold it sooner if you didn't have such a goofy looking guy laying across it. Who picks these models anyway;)
