I DIE

...as rachel zoe would say. and i about did, from shock, when i found out that i was the winner of furniture feature friday at miss mustard seed's blog! i was all, "no way!" and miss mustard seed was all, "yes way!" and i was like, "nuh-uh!" and she was like, "totally!" and i almost passed out. so. i'm really excited. it's so cool to get recognition that something you did is actually neat. i mean, one tends to lose all objectivity and reason when the work in consideration is one's own, and i'm historically pretty hard on myself in an uber-perfectionist sort of way. so, thank you to all the kind commenters and new followers, and welcome to anyone who's visiting from miss mustard seed! imagine me jumping up and down, clapping my hands and squealing before i run over and hug you. or, you know, just nonchalantly offering you a seat and a martini, all chic-and-gracious-like. whichever. (insider tip: realistically, i'm probably doing the former)

i actually finished revamping one of a pair of bedside tables last night and had grand plans to shock the pants off everyone by posting a sneak-peek today...until my camera battery died. it's been one of those weeks, y'all. so anyway, expect a makeover soon to the tune of this:




turning into something more like this:


by way of a little silver leaf and a lotta patience.

IS THE SUSPENSE KILLING YOU???

here: a peace offering. while trying to find a video of rachel zoe saying "i die" to illustrate my post title, i came across this bit of internet hilarity. b-a-n-a-n-a-s. enjoy.
