Well, it's been forever since I posted... 3 kids will do that to you... but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything. A couple days ago, I was driving out of my neighborhood and was very attracted to a mound of things on the curb in front of a neighbor that's moving. Here's what I pulled off the road and into the back of my car:
I was so excited to put it as my centerpiece on my mantle:

I also snagged this chair that I plan to paint and reupholster:

And here is a shelf that I wish I had taken a 'before' of... it was a dark green with an apple cut out on the top. I painted it and decoupaged a hulk minifigure on it for Aiden's room and his lego collection.
