Country Style Fits - Thanks Ethan Allen

I was reading one of my favorite sites, Young House Love and they had a link to a quiz from Ethen Allen, it just takes a few seconds to complete (okay, maybe more than a few but no more than a minute).

Here's what I found when I viewed Country House:

I think I love every single item in this bunch.  I'm feeling a sudden desire to RE-DECORATE my entire house...on a budget, of course.

Homemaker Pro #6 Forgetful and Disorganized!

I could start off by telling you the best made up story for missing the last two HPro posts BUT...that would be YET another excuse for my forgetfulness and disorganization! So instead, I'm going to tell YOU how to be forgetful and disorganized, like me! It's very complex so please try to keep up.

First - You MUST, and I repeat, You MUST...live on 5 hours of sleep each night! With interruptions. If you don't have children to wake up in the middle of the night, set your alarm at 2am and 5am.

2nd - You'll need 35 minutes to get ready in the morning! Yes, that's including a shower! Hair, Make-Up, Etc. Take off 5 minutes if your phone rings and 5 minutes if you want to eat something.

3. - You get to take your children to school....see if you make it out of the parking lot without a child saying they FORGOT something! To bad, get out! {You have to talk like that to be like me!}

Four! - While six of your kids are at school....This is important so listen UP!....YOU MUST follow a 2yo around with Clorox Bleach and a washcloth cleaning the walls and furniture, for 7 hours. Mr. Man calls this one Picasso!

5th - This one's TRICKY so pay attention. Make sure to get ALL your Appts in your calender, iPHONE, Planner, sticky notes(everywhere) and on your bathroom mirror with lipstick....and Don't forget to tell your secretary, you don't have a secretary? I feel sorry for you! After all this is done, YOU MUST...forget the appointment and pay the 'NO SHOW' fee! {Don't ask how many times I've done this, it would be WAY to embarrassing.}

6. - YOU MUST intentionally forget to make a 'weekly menu' for dinners. Secretly hoping a COOK will show up at 5pm every night to cook a super yummy meal, then vanish into the night so EVERYONE thinks it was YOU who came up with the most amazing meal EVER! {twisted, I know!}

Seventh - Your PANTRY has to look like a Tornado hit it! {'nuff said}

8TH - Your list of 'PROJECTS' should be at least...oh, I don't know...1 mile long! If you are NOT weighed down with 'projects'..like sewing, decorating your kids rooms, scrapbooking, painting, etc. You cannot be like ME! You HAVE to be totally weighed down, SORRY.

NINE - In your spare time, EAT as much CHOCOLATE as you can so you gain 15-20lbs. I told you it was gonna be hard to be like ME! You have to work at it.

10. - Use this MOTTO.......i'M A pROfessioNAL heRe!! I'm working!

Now, you have all the skills to be like ME, Forgetful and Disorganized!

TTFN!

Sassy's Super Finds....

...more 'WINDOW PANES'..wOOhOO!! This makes 5 panes in my house. For some reason I just love them. Mr. Man just shakes his head when I bring another one home but thankfully he let's me be creative and well, Weird! I loved the clock also..needs a new clock kit, but that's easy!

Now, I just need to find a place for them...hmmm, they would look great in so many places. Should I paint them? What about this....

I love this Inspiration Board....I could totally be INSPIRED by this! Get the tutorial HERE! I'm thinking, I just need some cork and linoleum paste to get this job going. Looks like fun, RIGHT? I'll post the 'After' when it's done.
