Hey everyone! I kind of figured out Instagram! This is a big deal for me. I’m usually the last person on earth to hop on the hip train. I usually wait until the hip train is exhaustedly lurching into the station. While you’re at it, check out my MySpace! Kidding. But anyway, do you want to follow me? I solemnly swear to never post pictures of my feet. You can find me and all seven of my pictures under betterafterlnz.
And for your before and after viewing pleasure, get a good look at the following makeovers from Barb at Turtles and Tails. First she streamlined a set of ottomans, which were definitely the frumpiest things that ever frumped. But now they are sleek and even rocking one of fall’s hottest trends: corduroy! Such fashionistas.
I also love what she did with this plain old stool. First she painted it. Then stained it. Then aged it. Then freezer-paper stenciled it. Then twined it! That’s a whole lot of neat on such a small seat. Oh, I’m a poet. See the stool’s saga on her blog Turtles and Tales.

Gonna go follow you and your 7 pictures on Instagram right now.
