New Stuff

I turned my tragic frosted mirror project into a chalkboard. I like it lots better.

The nice guys at Lowes cut a piece of wood for me the same size as the old mirror, and then I painted it with chalkboard paint. And I really did make cheeseburgers in a pan, but usually that menu will say, "You're on your own, I'm having microwave popcorn."

And here is a new rug I got at Target.

Zach dripped pizza sauce on it approximately 26 minutes after I got it home. Which is REALLY awesome.

Island

I had been planning on buying this stainless steel kitchen island from Ikea:

Utby Kitchen Island - $328

But then I found this at Costco of all places, and it is almost exactly the same size (slightly bigger actually):

Trinity Stainless Steel Work Table - $139.99 (including shipping!)

Not sure why they have it styled in the garage next to a car. The point is, it should be arriving at my door step any day now. YAY.

Behold the beauty of a stainless steel island. Behold it!
