keeping busy with a 'flea market escape'

The year is gonna wrap up c-r-a-z-y for me this year ... but am sure it's gonna be all good and fun. Reason to keep busy.

Amidst being clueless where to start packing, pulling ideas and details together for the renovation, marketing our current home (my boys do not understand why we are moving out of this nice house =) ) and getting my younger boy to revise for his exams next week ... I ventured into renewing a worn out lampshade we bought for $5 (don't know why we bought it) 2 years back during a John Erdos sale. Took a shocker when we checked lately and found out that it would cost $120 to refurbished it professionally. So I went out to get the fabric, trimmings etc to start another little project ... can't wait to post the after picture here =)

So still escaping the to-do-list, check this out at Paris Atelier... I would love to be there shopping for pieces like these ...



the white caned one and love that chair on the far right ... saw a pair similar to this at last weekend's garage sale ... owner wanted $100 each. Priced to high, as they needed much refurbishing work ... and she wasn't all willing to sell them in the first place. Would have been nice to have them renewed for our new place, though we have many, many, many chairs already =P
