Green Grass & Twins
Green Grass
This past weekend, we did a lot of work around our house. Hedges were trimmed, grass was mowed, oil was changed, rooms were cleaned, etc. After mowing the grass, I noticed that the edges of the driveway were still a bit shaggy and I really wanted it straightened up. Unfortunately, we do not own any sort of edger. So I got a hair brain idea. You can call it crazy, pathetic, or cheap. Or all three. I call it a solution. What is this crazy, pathetic, cheap solution that I speak of? I decided that using SCISSORS to trim it up would be a good idea.
And oddly enough, it was. You should have seen me out there chopping those little blades of green. Go ahead and laugh. It was quite entertaining, I’m sure. I just lined the lower blade of the scissors up with the edge of the driveway and snipped away. Pretty easy stuff. After about 15 minutes of cutting, everything was straight and we had a perfectly manicured yard. Of course, having a true edger would have probably cut down the job time and my amount of humiliation considerably. It does look better though, right?
Twins
Awhile ago, I snagged these two antique-ish chairs off Craigslist for super cheap. I loved the intricate details of the wood and could picture these two in my living room flanking our entertainment stand.
However, they both need a little bit of help. (They sort of eerily remind me of those twins from “The Shining” in this pic.) The seats are falling apart and the stain has been worn off in some areas. So, what will happen? Well, of course they will be getting a grand transformation. Yes, I have big plans for them. However, it will be a few weeks before they will be finished, thanks to the sluggish shipping on the fabric I ordered for the seats. Stay tuned to see the outcome!
