Another Assembly day!

Once again they are in that Huddled position..

talking quietly among themselves..

ya just KNOW it's a larger piece of furniture

when C.S. is involved..

Princess usually jumps at anything in her zone..

but she is elsewhere..

and C.S. is quite focused 

it's a bed!

yep a super fun day bed!

we are very excited about this..

because it is for the LL Guest Room

which is slowly coming together 

We wanted a bed that could be used as a couch

or pulled out and used for couples

well..

particular couples

and friends of ours that are more

or less

not at an eager age to go up and down

old farmhouse stairs

in middle of the night

to use the ONE bath..

so it is for our more MATURE friends..

we are putting together THIS room! 

getting more of a day bed gives us a lot of options as to how to use

the room when it isn't being used for guests..

still looking for the pillows and comforter 

LOOK

that I want this room to have

but for now.. 

I think it looks SUPER!

Thank you my love

and my lad!

They're almost HERE!

It was NEARLY the weekend..

and something like a flurry of activity is happening here

sweeping 

last minute projects

it's 

well..

a flurry!

See My wonderful BROTHER

and my delightful Nephew (Tenderfoot)

and my darling niece (Ina)

were

coming for the long weekend 

for a vacation..

The farmhouse has come along SO wonderfully..

but we need to CLEAN up

and wrap up some loose ends

for it to feel like a vacation to anyone..

THAT and..

we'll be taking down the porch..

(not such a fun vacation-ee thing to be doing)

oh

and 

it was garage sale day..

guess what I found!

are you totally digging the groovy chairs?

They are ancient..

(1960's?)

they swivel too!

We found them at a barn sale

the fabric is in great condition..

and they are cozy to sit in...

we vacuumed them up and

have to decide if we just keep them 

"till..." 

or if we actually fix them up..

but either way at $5 each..

they buy me time

and a couple places to pop a squat

(in a not on a fold out camping chair way)

but you are probably wondering what is in front of 

said 'GROOVY CHAIRS"...

Princess, working on the last of the small assembly projects

for the kitchen..

Its a tower..

to go next to the refrigerator..

Because of needing to OPEN the refrigerator..

we needed enough space between IT and the wall..

and being as I don't like useless space..

We purchased this super tower to use for 

additional storage!

isn't it tall!

I can fit a rice cooker on there NO problem

and other wonderful things

giving me more space to use in the 

PANTRY! 

(have I mentioned how exciting all this is?)

Princess is all about precision..

her Fathers daughter 

and all that

next?

a whirlwind of family fun

a "mini break" to see some local sites

and...

a porch removal..

WHO KNOWS 

WHAT 

might happen!

Assembling a wee little work cart!

We needed a wee work cart for the kitchen..

something

to slide next to the stove whilst we are cooking,

or use in other ways..

An

AS NEEDED CART

if you will...

Garage sailing hasn't produced quite the size needed...

but IKEA did !

So I had this ASSEMBLY JOB

and

seeing as I have some qualified persons here to ASSEMBLE for me

...one of my wee assemblers got a job to do !

That wee assembler did the job quite well I must say! 

Are you wondering who? 

Well look at that detail..

Do you THINK Buddy is up for the challenge?

Do you think it's more Princess's speed?

or Rather do you think C.S. found time?

Remember

it's a SOLO job.

Machine Man was NOT here

only the Mama was. 

(clearing throat- preparing to confess...)

and I will confess that THIS Mama...

is

NOT so gifted at assembly.

(never properly trained.. you understand.) 

The ASSEMBLER was Princess!

YEP!

She's at it again! 

When I told the kids there was 2 small jobs left to assemble

that I thought were in the realm of NOT needing the Papa...

She JUMPED at the chance to do another assembly project 

remember Welcome Back Kotter?

oo oo ooh PICK ME! PICK ME!

WELL

she got the job!

and I would say she did a GREAT JOB!

I am certain you'll be seeing a lot of this little cart

as we start cooking in that kitchen ..

Guess what is coming to our house!!!

propane!

(I know.. PINCH ME!  

So very exciting isn't it?)
