the GREEN chair

A few of you have asked about our GREEN chair. Well, here goes! As many of you know, Josh has this strange fascination with thrift stores. About a month ago he called me at work...

Josh picks up his cell after spending an hour at DI, his favorite weekend hangout with the kids. "Hey Dix. How's work going?"

"Not too bad. What's up?" I absently respond as I scurry around trying to tend to the never ending demands of my always sweet natured patients.

"Well, I found this really cool chair at DI that I want to buy."

Interest piqued, I ask, "Babe, we already have like ten chairs. Do we really need another one?"

"Oh, you just have to see this one. It is totally awesome!"

"Well, if you love it that much, then whey did you call? Just go get it."

I can't tell you how many times this scenario has happened in our nearly 12 years of marriage. When I got home to see the green chair I was really disappointed. It didn't help that he had put it in the kids' room & where they demanded that it just had to take up permanent residence. It took me a while to figure out how to put a green chair in a room that was decorated with red, white & blue. But now you can see what I came up with:

Here are some of the other acquisitions, just in case you were wondering :)

and last, but not least, one of our $35 couches. They have the coolest shape to them! Our Idaho friends thought we were crazy to buy these, but we just fell in love with the curves. (Can you see how the front is a "c" shape?) We are planning on getting them redone.
