Am I the last person to read this? I think so. But I’m fairly sure I’m the first person to read it with a yogurt snack and Diet Coke.

I’m going to need Molly to go ahead and write another book, because I finished this one way too quickly. It is excellent. I cried. Then I made a list of the recipes in the book that I wanted to try first. I can’t wait to get started.
Buy it here.

I’ve moved on to bedrooms. Here’s a bit of that awesome bargain console table you see in the previous entry.

I am really enjoying how that top book describes the before pic.

I found this vintage butterfly chair (the kind that doesn’t fold and is awesome) on craigslist in Atlanta, and Allison picked it up for me yesterday.

Ten dollars. TEN.
If anyone has another one, please send it over. I need two for my yarden.
Next up, the cutest table you can buy for $39:

Hurry, they’re on clearance! I got the last two at my local Pier 1.
And finally, an unrelated picture of Lori holding a, um, mushroom in Target. Please do not buy this, even if it is a bargain.

Wow, you people and the nice things you say about my kitchen. You are all invited over for dinner.
The poor tile guy accidentally scratched the counter with his bucket the other week and had to come back yesterday morning to buff it out. He also used the word “dramastically” in all seriousness. Good times. We messed up the pristine kitchen further with some inaugural chicken curry. And I learned a new thing about the floors, which is that they still look clean even when they are filthy with trampled cilantro and spice mixes. Yay!
And now, some before pictures from way back:


And from a few weeks ago:
