YEPPPPPP

I'm going there

So I redid some furniture for the company 

that I work for and delivered some last night 

ANDDDDD

My supervisor came into my office and said....

WOWWWW

You did an amazing job

When you left with the pieces I 

had know idea what the hell you were going 

to do or how they could even look good

BUT WOWWW MAN

KUDDOS TO YOU

and then we knuckled and yes blew it up

BOOM BABYYYYYY

JUST SAYINNNNNNN :)

AND

ONCE AGAIN THAT IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO!!!

Sunday Funday

Well most people wouldn't thinks so

but it is my kinda Sunday Funday

So my company decided to redo the office

 and

GUESS WHO THEY ASKED TO REDO THE FURNITURE THEY ARE

KEEPING.....

ME :)

Before of the conference room table

Primed and readyyyy to paint

(didnt get a before of the cubes...they were maroon

and the company did a overhaul off the office...

so I painted them Gray to coordinate with the new decor)

A little word of advice just in case you didn't know....

If you have an item that is laminate or something that you can not sand to prepare for painting they sell either gripper paint or a primer  paint which makes the paint adhere to the surface :)

And then there is the boys

sunday funday

FOOTBALL!!!!

(Except Mike he is back there working right along with me)

Just want to say....

to each and everyone that supports me and believes in me and Sweet Sweet Simplicity.

 To all my friends, family and loved ones that share my posts on Facebook and send their friends and loved ones my way.

 For all the praise and compliments....

That is why I am here doing what I love and there wouldn't be a Sweet Sweet Simplicity without each and everyone of you!!!! 

My pieces sell fast and some before even completed!!!

I am truly one lucky lady

with a ton of people on my side and that love helping me succeed!!!

A little thing that reminded me...one of my favorite buyers

(and one of my best girlfriends...Thanks Deanna)

said to me today

Les quit listing and selling things without showing me first damn it

my favorite pieces in my home are the ones that you have done :)

(For the record her home is GORGEOUS with some amazing pieces....How Flipping awesome is that....makes me feel all good inside...teeheeeheee)

AND

A special thanks to Mike....

even though he is so busy making his own dreams come true is always there helping me and supporting me with mine...

Michael not really sure where I would be without you baby

Thanks for every single thing you do!!!

I know some days I can be a pain in the ass

(can you help me move this...can we pick this up...Cna we deliver this....can you...can you can you....
