When will I learn that my so called "weekend projects" always seem to take a month or longer. The Louis Chair was no different. First, it took forever to remove the existing fabric because the chair had been previously reupholstered… meaning it had a thousand plus staples that had to be removed.

Cleanse: My Word of The Year
Hello there and Happy New Year. Is it too late to say that? I hope not because I haven't gotten around to blogging this year and you deserve to be wished a Happy New Year.

It wasn't until late this summer I saw one and she was beautiful. She was also over the amount I was willing to pay. So I waited, and waited, and waited, until I could talk the shop owner into going down ... Read More about A Makeover Story | A Louis Chair Pt. 1

Fast forward to now and I still think the Cirque du Soleil shows are the most creative and entertaining shows ever. So I didn't hesitate for a second when I was invited to attend a performance of Amaluna. Overview of Amaluna Amaluna is the fourth Cirque du Soleil show I have attended and I must say it is ...
