Countdown!!!

Don't you feel like once Halloween is over...it is just a countdown until Christmas??? Wait...I am not ready!!! I am going to REALLY REALLY try to enjoy Autumn season this year without getting too spazo and taking on too many events.

That is my hope at least:)

OK...here is my TURQUOISE COFFEE TABLE!!! When I first painted it...I thought...OH NO!! THEN every single person in my family said...ooohh...it is kinda bright mom. Well...that was before I was finished with it:) There is always that moment in a furniture project that I think...UGLY!!!! Then...my favorite part...layer after layer...it becomes what it is supposed to be! It is like magic!!! Even though all shades of turquoise and aqua are my favorite colors...this is the very first piece of furniture I have painted this color. I usually paint everything white or black (for myself) and have been drooling over every piece of blue furniture I have seen. After my friend said get over it already and paint something...I did it!!!

AND...

I just LOVE it!!!!!

Now...I am going to confess...I have a terrible case of the I WANTS!!! I am usually so good about it...BUT I REALLY want to new flooring and it is making me crazy. I have to stop thinking about it...because it really is not in the budget...for a while. Most of the time I just forget about it...but whenever I start decorating...ALL I can see is my gross carpet!!! Someday, I know I will get hard flooring of some kind...and when I do...I will sooooooooo appreciate it!!! OK...now that I said it out loud...I am hoping the I WANTS will go away:) Thanks for letting me vent!!!

Happy Monday!!!
