They'll most likely be in the "keep" pile. <BR/><BR/>The most common misstatement around my home currently is probably: "I'll get rid of that on ebay."Alterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710565313799177984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309800264329638297.post-60366277465490699772009-02-09T05:59:00.000-08:002009-02-09T05:59:00.000-08:00i think the beds are from bodo henning - i love th...i think the beds are from bodo henning - i love the metal legs on them! maybe if you made some nice new bedding for them you could use them in your house...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309800264329638297.post-29521698223548152632009-02-07T21:09:00.000-08:002009-02-07T21:09:00.000-08:00That's kind of weird to dump the extra furniture o...That's kind of weird to dump the extra furniture on you.

For ease and control you could get several of those wood staining markers/pens from craft stores like Michael's. I have one in by ChartPak in Black Walnut(W57) and it gives a really modern look. Just a thought...good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309800264329638297.post-16322881002756377902009-02-06T10:13:00.000-08:002009-02-06T10:13:00.000-08:00Thanks Altera ... pls feel free to add my blog lin...Thanks Altera ... pls feel free to add my blog link to yours although I have been very lazy with it.vwonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019653406009158972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309800264329638297.post-65761288526908006422009-02-06T05:50:00.000-08:002009-02-06T05:50:00.000-08:00Hi vwong - I'm still laughing about the "Dumb Chai...Hi vwong - <BR/>I'm still laughing about the "Dumb Chair" email. <BR/><BR/>My husband can't complain too much because he's an avid collector as well (sneakers, urban vinyl, etc.) and sometimes I'll catch him putting in extra furniture in the houses, or moving the pinky girls around a bit. Ha!<BR/><BR/>Please feel free to add a link to my blog - I'd love to add yours as well (I've been a lurker . . .). <BR/><BR/>Have a great day!Alterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710565313799177984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309800264329638297.post-39692015236043036742009-02-05T21:18:00.000-08:002009-02-05T21:18:00.000-08:00Not sure if my previous comment was sent through b...Not sure if my previous comment was sent through but I just wanted to say I am totally delighted to have found your blog. Love all of your mini-scenes.<BR/><BR/>I can so related to the unsympathetic spouse syndrome. On one occasion, my hubby helped me take a pic of my Reac Japen chair and when he sent the pic file to my email, he put 'Dumb Chair' on the subject line =)<BR/><BR/>P.S.
