More about the "Little Red House"...
Here's the "project/thinkin'/workin'/snackin'/chattin' table.
Many brilliant ideas are congered up right here and it's NEVER this clean. {None of these photos are staged - obviously. Showin' ya how it is.} Notice the chairs?
This is what they looked like when I brought them home from the Habitat Restore.
For some reason the early-twenty-something-college-student-volunteer-worker thought they were ugly. Little did she know that my mom would have killed for these chairs when I was in high school!! Worked to my benefit - they were priced at $10 each and I bought them all for $35. She mumbled something like "oh please, get those disgusting things out of here". I felt judged.
But with $10 slipcovers from Sure-Fit I think they are smashing.
That'll fix Suzie's little red wagon!
Sidebar: Here's a pic of the ceiling. It's galvanized tin barn siding/roofing. I think it's super cool and I kinda love the picture.
Sidebar #2: Here's another pic of the felt board with the "new" project pieces on display. I'm only including this because I like the looks of that pumpkiny orange color with black. Happy moment.
Sidebar#3: Kids are back in school. These 2 photos crack me up. The first - the big fourth grade brother is not happy about being requested to put his arms around his sisters. {Makes me a bit sad, also}
The second- it looks like Woody the Newfoundland is going to eat the girls! However, I know inside he's big ole dog head he's thinkin', "thank goodness these two drama queens are going back to school!" Dorks.
Blessings- B

So I am re-posting my comment from the other day that I so carefully constructed but google seemed to have gobbled up somewhere because it disappeared! Anywho, I was just so excited to finally see the INSIDE of your little red house! I spied that cabinet behind your chair and I have one EXACTLY like it except mine is a hideous orangey brown stain. I am totally doing the dark stain and taking those bottom doors off just like yours! I was about to consign it to the antique store to sell. Gail will be so disappointed that you saved it! ha ha
More of the red house to come...maybe it will look enticing in the next post. And...duh...never get rid of a tall hutch lookin' kind of thing...so handy. Sorry Gail!
