Hall Chair~Blue Jars~Bad Kitty

My intent was to get to the antique store this weekend to look at some crocks.  We did get to look, but I didn't see much there.  They had sold the one's I was previous looking at.  Bummer;(  I was so excited that my husband was enjoying himself.  It's fun to see him liking and agreeing with this whole primitive thing.  We didn't get a crock but he found this neat hall chair.  I think the hooks are ugly so I am going to the hardware store to buy some different ones.  I love the stripes in the wood and the designs on the bottom front.  The seat lifts up to a huge box underneath and I am going to store my seasonal things for the front entry way in there.  That's where the chair is.  Right in the front entry way.  We'll see what visitors think of that:)  Anyway, I want to redo some things in the entrance for spring so I will show you the whole ensemble later.

I've seen many people coloring their glass lately so I decided to try my own.  It was a very fast project and that is the kind I like!!  I was however, disappointed that the examples I have been looking at came out clear and mine turned out opaque. I think it's because I used white glue.  I wonder if I had used decoupage if they would have been transparent.  I tried brushing it on to the outside of one bottle and then the inside of another.  I like it with the color on the outside best.  The color is very pretty though, especially next to the brown grungy candles.
1tsp. glue
1.5 tsp. water
1-2 drops blue coloring
Mix it all and brush a very light coat evenly onto jars.  Avoid pooling the glue.  As the jar dries, the brush lines will disappear.  

I finally got my wall box put up in the upstairs family room.  I had to rearrange some things in order to make it all look right.  I think I will pick up some silk flowers today at the store to put in the box.

Look where I found Kitty the other day.  I think that is so funny:)

We let her out yesterday (she is still an indoor cat).  As I followed her around the yard, she got spooked and took off like a bullet and skitted up our neighbors fence and into their backyard.  Oh, man.  She has done this once before.  I went to our neighbors to see if I could get in their yard to get her.  They peeked through the blinds, but no one home could speak English so they never answered the door.  We had to break into their back yard through their side gate which was jimmy rigged and guarded with wood and things.  She got a time out when she got home:{

I hope everyone has a good Monday.  I have to say it is one of the busiest days of the week for me.  I get to clean up the "Monday Mess"  which is left over from the weekend.  Then I get to go to the grocery store and stock up for the week.  Thanks for the visit:)
