Great things are happening around here lately… First, Lindsey from Better After stopped by and left a comment on the chair I re-upholstered. Well, a little confession is necessary here: I did send her the link to it because I was hoping she would use it for her blog, but she didn’t. But, she was kind enough to leave a comment though, which I thought was frickin’ amazing! I did a little happy dance – it was like blogland royalty stopping by to have tea, err.. or something equally exciting.
Then today, Kate from Centsational Girl pinned my chair on Pinterest… you know, this one, the one that brought many of you to my blog 
Well, that just about sent me to the moon! I know that a bazillion pins get pinned all the time, but they don’t get pinned by your blog idol! I woke up the husband to tell him. I was so excited, it couldn’t wait til morning! He managed a “that’s really great, honey” before he rolled over and fell back to sleep immediately. Kate’s blog is the first one I found when I started to read blogs, and it’s still my favorite. That girl has me addicted to spray paint – and she seems like she’s a genuinely nice person too. I know that she probably has no idea who I am, but it doesn’t matter. I am still psyched that she liked it!
But then, after I posted a quick update to Facebook about that, I logged into Pinterest and found out that EMILY HENDERSON from Secrets of a Stylist on HGTV pinned it too!! Holy cannoli!! She wasn’t so blown away by the concept/idea, I’m assuming it’s because she doesn’t have to be as thrifty as I am, but she commented that she’d try it if she was desperate. Ha! It still made me smile – and wake up my husband – again – to tell him.
I’m as giddy as a school girl… it’s the little things that make me happy
Hope you had something awesome happen to you today!

That’s awesome!!
Thanks
Eliesa, Eliesa, Eliesa….how many times do I have to say, “Well deserved”. Personally, I think you are brilliant and I cannot wait to find a chair that I want to magically transform a la Pinterest Addict way.
Bask in the glow…..love your work !
You are much too kind, thank you! Too bad you don’t live close to me – our thrift store has tons of fun project chairs that are just begging for someone to give them a makeover!
Really wish we had such a thrift store here! Congratulations…….all your work is amazing!
You are always such a sweetheart, Pam. Thank you
You need to come visit us and we will go thrifting!
Kudos Friend!!!

Thanks – it’s pretty cool
I would be excited, too. You do great work.
Thanks, Frank
I’m still pretty giddy over it!
Soo crazy this story. I found your site through Pinterest then I realized that you are from south Florida as well, and my favorite store to bargain hunt in Faith Farm too but the best part is I saw the tufted chair went back to get it and it was gone!!!! You bought it! And it looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I love redoing furniture and projects as well. I just might run into at Faith Farm one day!
What a small, small world! Did you go to their big sale last weekend? It was crazy! By the way, I saw two more tufted chairs almost exactly like that one there over the weekend, if you still want one. Say hi to me if you catch me there. I just found out about another place that I will be visiting next week – I’ll let you know how it stacks up to FF.
No! I was so mad at myself for not going but I was there the week before and bought a 9 piece little girls full wood bedroom set for 130.00! Spent the last two weeks painting it with homemade chalk paint(recipe from Pinterest) which is awesome by the way, and two really cool leather chairs on wheels for 10.00 each. Love that place! I will totally say Hi next time
Please let me know how the new place is.
I have to go back this week to get something for my niece (if it’s still there). Can you send me the link to the Pinterest pin for that recipe?
