I've been working on so many projects that I haven't had a chance to stop in here and update this blog! <br />
<br />
My business has been good this month... not this business, my actual career... which come to think of it, I don't think I've ever talked about it on here. I own a design company that just celebrated it's 5 year anniversary this month. We are the top design agency in our niche and have had literally hundreds upon hundreds of great clients every year, some I'm sure you know of, since they are quite famous in the music industry!<br />
<br />
My fiance is a U.S. citizen and has been living in Canada with me for over 2 years now. During the entire time he's been here, we've been dealing with tons of immigration crap and it has been the most frustrating thing ever. What makes it even more frustrating is that he is literally from right across the border a couple of hours away. If you don't know how immigration works, basically he is not allowed to work here legally until his proper paperwork goes through. So, it's been quite a task being the sole moolah-maker for the past few years. LUCKILY though, this march/april is when we are FINALLY supposed to hear back and I am crossing my fingers that he gets all of his papers... because if not, well, there really is no backup plan. I don't intend to leave him or have the immigration people kick him out of Canada haha, so I guess we'd just go into hiding or something.... ha.<br />

It also happens to be in the summer, which would be perfect because we wanted an outdoor wedding, possibly by the beach.<br />
<br />
We've been engaged for over a year now, and really, I'm not all that excited for a wedding. Don't get me wrong, I loooooooooove the guy and can't wait to be married to him (I would do it today if I could), it just seems like so much hassle to have an actual wedding. I do want my family there though, and some sort of celebration would be nice. I probably just have to start getting into planning mode and the excitement will come on it's own!<br />
<br />
All I know is that when the day does come, it will be a small intimate event with lots and lots of turquoise!<br />

As a part of the <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/project-restyle.html">Project ReStyle</a> endeavor, here is my third submission! I decided to do a bit of a random project tonight. I had this old wooden frame that I wanted to do something with... but I wasn't sure what. While working in my office, I kept looking over at the empty wall space beside my desk thinking I really needed a bulletin board there! So I hopped right to it...<br />
<br />
I grabbed this big piece of styrofoam that was sitting in my garage from a recent purchase:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1Pvr-gnI/AAAAAAAAAFk/ib3RabF6VDo/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1Pvr-gnI/AAAAAAAAAFk/ib3RabF6VDo/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Then, I traced around the inside of the frame and cut the styrofoam to fit. I used a kitchen bread knife to cut it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1c13jgKI/AAAAAAAAAFo/jBjvpzflIBo/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1c13jgKI/AAAAAAAAAFo/jBjvpzflIBo/s400/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1gYff1TI/AAAAAAAAAFs/72av6Ujy1YM/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1gYff1TI/AAAAAAAAAFs/72av6Ujy1YM/s400/004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
After the mess was cleaned up, I wrapped the whole piece of styrofoam in saran wrap so that all of the little particle things wouldn't get everywhere:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1ukOAEFI/AAAAAAAAAFw/YBybyA68LWw/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT1ukOAEFI/AAAAAAAAAFw/YBybyA68LWw/s400/008.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I had this piece of vintage fabric from a sheet that was the perfect size! I wrapped it around the front (flat side) of the styrofoam and secured it with packing tape on the back.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT18XRpCcI/AAAAAAAAAF0/GDnh6RjA2B8/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT18XRpCcI/AAAAAAAAAF0/GDnh6RjA2B8/s400/009.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2LuAhcBI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yh9Y6M1pT8A/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2LuAhcBI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yh9Y6M1pT8A/s400/010.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Then all I had to do was grab my frame, pop it in, secure it with a couple of small nails and VOILA! New bulletin board :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2LuAhcBI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yh9Y6M1pT8A/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2PqKachI/AAAAAAAAAF8/5epSZWwD63k/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2PqKachI/AAAAAAAAAF8/5epSZWwD63k/s400/012.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2UWx6S0I/AAAAAAAAAGA/hCAPhBiuZDo/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TTT2UWx6S0I/AAAAAAAAAGA/hCAPhBiuZDo/s400/014.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
A quick and easy project and a great way to use a piece of old styrofoam instead of having it end up in a landfill somewhere. What do you think? Leave a comment below :)<br />

As a part of the <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/project-restyle.html">Project ReStyle</a> endeavor, here is my second submission! This chair was in my family for as long as I can remember, and it was always hideous. It had the ugliest forest green velvet make-do seat on it, and was not even usable due to a broken frame. This picture was taken after I furiously ripped off the old nasty seat, and spent about 2 hours fixing the frame so it was sturdy once again. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TS6BuR5z6RI/AAAAAAAAAFc/1QBkOkRYoLw/s1600/001+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TS6BuR5z6RI/AAAAAAAAAFc/1QBkOkRYoLw/s640/001+copy.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><br />
After sanding and painting, it needed a new seat. I grabbed whatever cushioning I could find, and created this one with some super cute fabric that was stolen from a wrap sweater I once created. Nail head studs were added to finish it all off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TS6DQ2ABKtI/AAAAAAAAAFg/A0Z3ERlsSuA/s1600/007+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TS6DQ2ABKtI/AAAAAAAAAFg/A0Z3ERlsSuA/s640/007+copy.jpg" width="380" /></a></div> <br />
This old chair now has a fresh outlook on life, and will last twice as long. Not only does it look cute and fit my decor, but I can actually SIT IN IT!<br />

As a part of the <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/project-restyle.html">Project ReStyle</a> endeavor, here is my first submission! I acquired some french provincial style chairs from a second hand shop with a goal in mind... to make a kitchen dining set like this super expensive Italian custom made one, only much much cheaper:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUS7I4b9eI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/20DqcJwRt0E/s1600/47398-2fc7593c5976ad24caf9393999cb3ed515427f6e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUS7I4b9eI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/20DqcJwRt0E/s320/47398-2fc7593c5976ad24caf9393999cb3ed515427f6e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
There were six chairs in total, all upholstered with a dated white/pink fabric and painted an off-white colour. I decided to "Restyle" four of the six chairs, as that would be all I needed. I still have two left to use my creativity on! To start this project, I had to rip the old fabric off. Thankfully, the cushioning underneath was in great shape, so I was able to reuse it when reupholstering it. I painted the wood a deep purple colour before adding the new fabric. I finished the cushions off with a nice gimp trim to match.<br />
<br />
Here is how it all turned out, before and after:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUTu-ktS4I/AAAAAAAAAFU/_zukygQgUig/s1600/beforeafter1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUTu-ktS4I/AAAAAAAAAFU/_zukygQgUig/s320/beforeafter1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I opted for a funkier green checkerboard pattern fabric as opposed to the expensive green leather in the above example. I love it as it gives the chairs a bit more of a "custom" (almost Alice in Wonderland) feel! I grabbed a second hand solid oak table to match, and did a little paint magic on it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUTx7z0A3I/AAAAAAAAAFY/ETm6JT9s9MQ/s1600/beforeafter2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J2UdszdjVgc/TSUTx7z0A3I/AAAAAAAAAFY/ETm6JT9s9MQ/s320/beforeafter2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

They sell for $28 at my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64978657/2011-looseleaf-calendar-with-easel-5x7">Etsy shop</a> and are 5x7 inches plus border. I also have them for sale without the easel, so you can clip them and hang them on your fridge, or display them how you please. What do you think of this idea? I have one sitting on my desk right now!<br />
<br />

Mine was great, it's a shame how quickly it goes by though. All of that preparing and waiting for the big day, and then it goes by so fast! My fav part of Christmas has to be giving everyone their gifts!<br />

D and I had a great first xmas in the new house together. Our pets had a ball too! They got spoiled with tons of toys and treats... and catnip! Our newest kitty, who was a stray that was hanging around outside in the summer, must have been the happiest cat in the world. It was so funny watching him play with his new toys and rolling around in delight. Something he had never experienced before I guess!<br />
