Happy May 1st!
We are bustling around here in major preparation for our Grand Opening on May 19th.
**My mind just registered MAY 1st and thus the real countdown begins.....tick, tick, tick....**
I remember promising to share many sneak peeks until "the big day".....but alas life continues to spin and when I finally land in bed each night I sigh in exhaustion and have little creative words to utter. Let's not even mention the energy needed to edit photos!
(Am I the only one that cannot stand Picmonkey?)

Hmmmmmmm, how was that for a glimpse at pathetic?
Actually, a lot has been happening but I kid you not when I tell you that we rise almost daily at 4AM and fall into bed each night sometime before the clock strikes midnight. And we have been doing that since January 5th....but really, who has hardly noticed?
I'm not here to complain and actually I am not really complaining.....more like whining.....just a bit.
*SMIRK*
Restored~Home Boutique & Studio is a love/hate relationship on a daily basis.....
Love to paint, love to decorate, love to train with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, love to meet new customers.....
hate to paint the ENTIRE outside of the building, hate to shovel a gravel driveway, hate to clean windows, hate to pay the bills.....etc.
You get it....I know you do.
This girl just wants to HAVE FUN!

Moving right along.......sorry, I am here alone in the shoppe today and needed a shoulder to virtually cry on for just a minute. I'm better now.....thank you.
No worries, I will be here for you when you need me.
Pinky promise!
Let's see what I can dig up to show you......
I knew that I wanted a unique piece to be used for our checkout counter. I perused Pinterest for days looking for inspiration. Seriously.....have you been there? Oui Vey, I could stay on Pinterest for hours and not even realize.......you know, I know you do.
So, this is what we came up with.

YUCK! I know....go ahead and say it....
I wanted to spit on it!
Let's just say....NOT the picture in my head.
So we tweeked and pounded and manipulated and played.....
*translation = screamed, cried, kicked and cursed (no....not me....)
And this is what we came up with.
Not too shabby for a fit throwing, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint slingin', crying, screaming and spittin' fiesty Texas gal!
(Ok, I confess Mr Restored~Home had a part to play also but I only let him throw a small hissy fit.)
Whatcha think?
Check back tomorrow and I'll show you how we did it!
Pinky promise.....
Blessings Abundant.....
