Jess’ Chair Re-Do

BEFORE:

AFTER…  BANG!

(check out Jess’ adorable pup, Gina, chillin with her tongue out in the background)

GORGEOUS, aren’t they?!  My girl Jess – who is in the midst of remodeling the Chicago home she shares with her hubby, Mike – did me proud.  I knew she could throw a mean backyard BBQ, and that my super smart (hello, CFA), super hilarious, super fast (the hooker runs circles around me without breaking a sweat) friend was talented, but I never took her for the spawn of Martha Stewart.  And voila!  She scored the antique set of 6 chairs on Craigslist, and the Lee Jofa “Belgravia” fabric on eBay.  Recognize it?

Well played, Wonder Woman.  Now, if we could just get your navigation skills in check.

Happy Monday!

Sorry for the few-and-far-between and abbreviated posts lately.  I started a new, super awesome job last month and am still trying to figure out how to fit working, working out, sleeping, peeing and blogging all into the same day.  I think that’s what people call balance.  I’m not there yet, but eh, I’ll get there.  I may be selling medical devices, but gurl.  I still dream in paint chips and fabric swatches!

Happy Royal Wedding Eve!  If you haven’t set your DVR yet, you best gitty up.
