The office work is slow going because my very sleepy baby has become much less sleepy... Oh who am I kidding, honestly, it is slow going because the first task is to strip the paint off the window and door trim. I HATE doing this, but if I don't the new latex paint won't adhere to the existing paint & varnish and Marc will just peel it all off again. (Don't get me started on the paint peeling...)
I tried to convince Marc that I didn't have to strip this paint because A) who cares? and B) the heat gun is loud and we have a sleeping baby 2 rooms away! He didn't go for either excuse... Urgh. I HATE doing things the right way instead of the easy way.
<---------- Anyway, to get to the "Score!".
Check out this nice wood filing cabinet that Franca and I bought at our local Habitat for Humanity store. Pretty nice huh? Beats any of the rusty metal ones and has more style than any new ones!
Here's some funny pictures of Franca:
Her reaction when I told her I'll be using a heat gun while she sleeps:
Her in her Maxi Cosi Stroller with the Mico carseat in it. (LOVE IT! Thanks Moms!):
And Tuna, showing her dominance:

You're right - great score on the filing cabinet.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm cracking up at the pic of Tuna. I sooooo had the same issue with one of my cats when my daughter was born.
Tuna is CLEARLY a bad ass.
ReplyDeletePROPS, Tuna!
Ha, I love the look on Tuna's face. And Franca's face, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI love stripping paint. It's amazing to me to see what's underneath all the layers. I wish I had a heat gun to do it, though, I usually have to use chemicals.
