Mod Podge Rocks!

I think I have found one of the best blogs ever, especially because the name of it is true...Mod Podge DOES Rock! If you haven't already you need to go HERE!

A while ago there was a post on how to revamp a stool and I loved it so I decided to try it out. The stools at Michael's like the one on THIS post seemed a little unsteady so I went ahead and did mine with one like thisish (only shorter and the legs are more curvy so it really isn't like this one at all...so)...

Here is how it turned out. It was so easy and just adds a little excitement to our downstairs area...I may even go back and get one like the one on that post because I think it so dang cute. There is also a step stool at Ikea that is so dope. If we had an Ikea anywhere in the vicinity I would totally go get it and do THIS to it. Or you could try THIS too, everyone has a step stool like this! Ours is out in the garage though so I doubt Scot would appreciate me girlying it all up. I will have to just go and pick up a new one for me inside. So many options!

Once you've tried Mod Podge you will never want to stop...I guarantee it! (Just like the Men's Warehouse guy says)...

More Obsessions

OK so remember when I posted about my magazine obsession? Welllll I have a couple of other obsessions. It's like when I find something I like I want a bazillion of them.

I really like headbands. I don't really even wear them but when I see someone wearing one or I see them in the store or in magazines I want it because I do think they look cute...they just don't look cute on me...anyway here is my collection of headbands that never get used (besides, have you ever worn one of those elasticy ones? They squeeze your brain practically they are so tight. On the few times I have worn them they leave an indention on my skull for a couple hours. That can't be healthy):

Along with being obsessed with magazines and buying headbands, I also ALWAYS feel like I need to buy lotion. It's like when we are in the lotion isle at Wal Mart for some reason I always think I am out and I better buy some because if I don't what if we get snowed in to our house and I don't have any lotion to use and I get all scally and dry (that would totally suck) or when we walk past Vicki's (Victoria's Secret) or Bath and Body Works the smell sucks me in and I buckle under the sales signs and talk myself in to thinking that 7 for $35 is the best deal of the century (it is a pretty darn good deal though) and fork over my credit card.

I have no self control...let's face it.

Best Dealio EVER!

***BEWARE...Potentially boring post ahead, proceed with CAUTION***

OK so on Saturday we needed to go to Lowes for some wood for a project that Scot is working on (more to come on that). So we walked in and went straight toward the one thing that we look at every time we go to Lowe's no matter what we are there for. The fake fireplaces. We have been eyeballing those bad boys for a really long time because it is one of the things that we really really wish we could change about this house. So we went over and there was a big old sign on top of them that said they were 50% off. We couldn't believe our little eyeballs. I was like that's it we're getting one. So we looked around and found the one that we have been wanting...and OF FREAKING course they didn't have that one in a box, just the floor model. So I was like OK let's go down to the Lowes that's closer to our house and see if they have it. So we get in our car and drive ALL THE WAY down to the one by our house (It's really not that far, I just felt like making it more dramatic). We looked around by ourselves for a little while but we didn't see the one we liked so we pressed the help button and this guy with a faux hawk comes strutting up to help us and let me tell you, he was wearing the teeniest tiniest little blue shirt I have ever seen folks. He must have washed it in hot water or something. ANYWAY he couldn't find it, he had never seen it, it didn't exist according to him. So then all of a sudden my brain walked back in to my head I guess and I said to Scot "DURRR why don't we just go back to the 1st Lowe's and see if we can take the floor model. They will probably give us an even bigger dicount"...SO WE DID AND THEY GIVE US AN EVEN BIGGER DISCOUNT just like I thought. Party!!! How could we pass it up? So to end a REALLY LOOOOOOOOONG and somewhat boring story...here it is...

That's a pretty craptastic picture but you get the idea. It matches our other furniture and everything. BOO YA! By the way I LOVE mantels. Aren't they the best? I haven't decided what exactly I want to do with this one yet but I am soooo excited to get some cute decor up there. Any ideas? Maybe some vases or lamps or SOMETHING. I will have to think about it...Oh and for your viewing pleasure,I told Scot to go and do a sexy pose like he was on a bear skin rug in front of a roaring fire and here is what he came up with...

Ain't he sexy? I sure think so...

So bottom line I just want you all to know, Lowe's is the bomb, faux fireplaces are the bomb diggity and guys with faux hawks in tiny blue shirts are no help!
