teaser!

hey guys! so today i have a teaser update on the new place! i tried to take a picture of the paint colour john picked but it's really hard without proper lighting! I'll give you a hint, I sent him to the store strongly urging him that a soft whimsical turquoise is my favorite! ( no i didn't use those words ). he didn't seem too interested in the decorating ( as always ), so i wanted to include him. that's how we got here!

here's an idea of the paint chip, hard to tell on the monitor, it looks really light? guess you'll have to wait and see!



this was a buffet i got FREE on craigslist! i'm such a dummy, i thought i took a picture of the "before".. i didn't! here's a during:



it was SUPER ugly before, as you can tell from the shells.. imagine those stained to an ugly oak? yuck.

here are some fabrics i picked up:



i really have NO idea what i will use this one for, but it was $0.77 a meter in the bargain center.



this one is for a custom window bench i'm making out of an old ikea shelf:



anyways, that's it for this today. hopefully within the next few days i'll be able to gather/scan my inspirational pictures! quite a few came from house of turquoise

where have i been?

give me three weeks, and you'll see! we get possession of our new place May 1st.. and let's just say these last 6 weeks have been the craziest.. ever! in three weeks we should be all moved in, place painted, furniture refinished and the blog ready for some before and after pictures! I let john pick the paint colour, and i must say i'm quite happy.

Today is beef dogs birthday, he's the big numero uno! We got him one of those big bones, you know.. the ones that look like the whole cow? we also got him a birthday hat:



We also went to ambleside park in north vancouver, we had never been there before.. i must say it's REALLY nice.







tim hortons lattes also come with certifies hearts now:



we pass by these trees everyday on our way home. it's just a circle of dead trees, john says "nature", i say "end of the world".



this is just because a miniature poodle lives here:




this is just another shot of beefy wanting to let everyone know it's his birthday:

we went to the US of A. *image heavy*

my good friend ling ling and I went to the U.S yesterday.. her and i go down fairly often, we usually spend the night in the econo lodge in bellingham and fill out a survey to get free coupons.. not this time. every single store you go into they offer you a credit card.. you say no, and they bug you about it. how is it even legal to have so many opportunities to borrow money there? no wonder they are in so much debt! I've also noticed seeing as we go down a few times a month, the prices have come up quite a bit in the states. my shampoo is $4 cheaper in canada. WHAT? something CHEAPER in CANADA? shit..

we went down to find some things for the new place, it was somewhat of a success. i mainly spent a ton of money on nothing though, like usual.




this is me, in the nasty buffet were the the food makes you sick, trying my best at a lazy eye.




cupcakes and another deserts!



ling, eating a pile of shit:



we really didn't know what it was, it just looked like a pile of shit with marshmellows in it.. so i dared her to take some.. and try it:





final result, she's not sure:



i found these hello kitty headphones.. and apparently those silver owls in my cart:



perfect fit:



what dollar stores sells pregnancy tests or disposable douches.. or BOTH??



last but not least, hello canada. so happy to be home:
