I'M BACK...
I started this post before Irene hit us....6 inches of water in my finished basement....everything ruined and insurance has denied the claim. My basement I dubbed "my happy place"...it's my space where I create. In the midst of all this, my son left for college to Ireland and was having a rough start. My heart was breaking for him.Thank God for Skype and Facebook to positive talk his negative. A huge tree fell and missed my house by a foot and that ensued a battle between me, the township and the association as to whose responsibility it was to remove (BTW I won, the association lost). The straw the broke this typically optimistic camels back... an employee of the company that did the clean up stole my Ipod. After I treated these strangers like family...pizza, snacks and coffee at the midnight hour. After that, I pretty much crawled into a little dark place and went MIA...just felt like if anything could go wrong, everything was going wrong.
Enough of my pity party...now on to the CL find buffet/side board.

I am sooo sorry about your basement, that is awful. :'( And everything else...never leave any valuables out when you have workers in the house. I won't even have strangers in my house anymore because it makes me nervous for other reasons. One of my friends lost her engagement ring by having a maid come and clean, too. ugh
Anyway, glad you painted something! sweet!
Sue! Man, you have had a tough few weeks! I hope your basement is getting all dried out because I have missed your projects! I'll bet your son is glad he has such a wonderful mom to offer great support~ hope he happily settles in soon and enjoys his time in Ireland!
Hugs,
Kim :)

I'm so sorry about your basement! I'm glad you were able to create something SO beautiful though! I love the paper on the interior. Such a great subtle touch!
You did such a beautiful job on the buffet. I love the subtle colors. (Hang in there!)

I love the chunky legs on this piece! It looks so cute!! Glad you won the battle about the tree!
God never gives us more than he knows we can handle. It may feel like you can't handle anymore, but that is when God carries you. You seem healed now and your buffet is just so lovely. Glad you're back.
I am sorry to read about you tribulations :( You've had a tough week, I'm glad things seem a little better. Your transformation is incredible as always.
Gosh! What a ride you've been on lately. Don't get me started on insurance (not to offend anyone who is affiliated with it) but they don't make it easy. I certainly hope your son is able to work out the rough spots in Ireland and that he can be able to enjoy his time spent there instead. Saying prayers for him and for you. And, good for you against the association! Go girl! ;^)
