well,

leah has a new room. a pre-teens dream. all her own. no more sharing with little girls.
we have a new living room. new furniture. a sectional. beige. looking around we have beige walls, beige carpet, beige lazy boy and now beige furniture. huh.
so were off to ikea on saturday morning to buy something with color. pillows, and some other amazing treasures im sure. leah needs some new ikea stuff as well, neon shes asking for.
cant wait til its all finished.

chair vs. bench

so we have these really ugly black cloth covered dining room chairs. 6 of em. they are covered in kid slop. katsup, milk, boogers, you name it. around christmas time we bought really pretty fabric chair covers, they were on sale. they are really really tight on our disgusting chairs, so tight that they are ripping open at all the seams. bottom line, we need new chairs.
i found these at ikea. i think they might be too small. what i really want is a mix-match if all different antique chairs. garage sales, garbage pickins, where ever i can get em, cheap. scott on the other hand wants to make 2 benches, one on each side of the table and 2 chairs for the head of the table. pretty bad idea in my book.
#1. every design hes showed me is ugly
#2. im sure the kids will get slivers if wood in their butts
#3. no backing=kids with concussions
#4. who wants to play poker sitting super close to their opponent?
#5. hell be in the garage forever making and staining them
so whatever i guess, i am just the maid anyway...
