Every so often the DIY bug bites and I start on a path of "what will I do with the house now?". This time it's the living room. I have several pieces of furniture that will be recovered professionally by Dan and a few pieces of furniture that will be passed along to family members.
I've decided in the living room that less is more, so the big sofa will be given away and the two love seats will take center stage by the fireplace.
Because the bug hit I had the TV in the den on most of the weekend to the DIY, HGTV, and one other "do it yourself" type channel. They make it seem so easy. Plus I was assembling a new Italian cabinet and needed a distraction from the instructions and the extra hardware pieces that didn't fit.
I like the show where the contractor tells you you can put your own kitchen cabinets in and save $10,000. I guess you can if there are two or more of you and a camera crew and the contractor there to make sure it goes smoothly.
I will attempt to redo the living room by painting first and recovering furniture, we'll see about anything much more adventurous.
Now on to Bridezillas...what is up with these women? This show may be the ultimate showcase of evil, spoiled, manipulative bitches. Surely it is scripted because no one can be that mean to their friends, family, and fiance without being beaten senseless by one or all of the above. When you spend the 30 minutes muttering to yourself "what a bitch!" then it really isn't the type of show to be watching at all.
