You're cute, but you scare me.

Ellen and her man pulled a Jim and Pam when they bought their home from her in-laws three years ago. With it came not a creepy clown picture superglued to the wall (if that makes no sense to you whatsoever, you probably don't religiously watch/memorize The Office likes I do) but a 9-foot buffet!
Yes, NINE feet! Wow.
It was nice, but just not Ellen's style. But how can you get rid of a 9-foot buffet? You can't. So she switched it up a little with a two-toned paint job, which looks amazing and you can read more about it right HERE.














I'm a big picnic fan. I even asked for a picnic table for my birthday. I think I like picnics because they are so easy to clean up after! No dishes, no mopping the kitchen floor, yay for picnics!
But you know what I'm not all for? Splinters in my behind. Does this before picnic bench look like anything you would want to rest your rear on for any amount of time? No. What is the point of having a time-saving, clean-up-saving picnic if you are going to be spending the rest of the evening getting intimate with a pair of tweezers?
Heather remedied that problem right quick with more than a sanding and paint job: she padded and upholstered the bench and even weatherproofed it with clear plastic! Looks fantastic! Check it out on her blog HERE. Well done Heather! My bum approves.
