Hutches are a lot of work !
BL - I'm sick to death of doing them ( for now )
They are by far the most rewarding but they're double the work
They are by far the most rewarding but they're double the work
I bought this one quite a while ago - but with everything else we're doing it sat here for far too long !
BL - I was dreading starting it
So I decided to start it right while we were plunk in the middle of installing planks on a wall...........
BL - Plunk and Plank sound cool together - every blogger should have at least one post with those 2 words in it. The reference to the plank wall is to make sure you come back
John says - Who's going to want to buy a pink hutch?
John says - You should have went white - it'll never sell
John says - It's too girly - so you've wiped out any chance of selling it to a married couple
John says - Usually you go whi-
Suzan says - It's meant to go in a girl's room
John says - WHY WOULD SOMEONE PUT A HUTCH IN A GIRLS ROOM ???????????
Suzan says - For books - and blankets - and stuffed animals and trinkets
John says - THEY'RE MEANT FOR DISHES NOT DOLLS !
John's world is filled with rules - my world has very few
I decided to go pink because in my mind I saw this in a nursery - or a young girl's room

BL - I had a tin of Annie Sloan Antoinette and wanted to use it up
I took a break at this point - John walked by
John says - Well now that looks horrible
Suzan says - Thanks very much
John says - Pink on the bottom and wood on top?
Suzan says - Yes - I like the contrast
John says - It'll NEVER sell like that
Suzan says - WHEN HAVE I EVER LEFT A PIECE LIKE THIS??????????????
John says - I thought you were trying to be creative or something
W. T. H. ?
BL WHAT. THE.HELL HECK ?
We have to find a more productive hobby - driving each other insane just isn't as rewarding as it used to be.
Unless he's right of course?
I'll be painting the top white with pink trim
BL - I didn't have as much ASCP Antoinette as I thought I did
Let's hope someone out there can picture this in their little girl's room - I'm in big trouble if everyone follows the rules !
In the meantime - a valuable tip - I think we'll be fine ( just ) but if your marriage isn't a fiercely strong one DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BUILD A PLANK WALL TOGETHER - unless you have experience of course. Sometimes the blind leading the blind can lead to lots of shouting matches - foot stomping - tears -
running back and forth to the computer and half the team walking away from the project - leaving the other half trying to saw wood on her own. With a manual saw.
Have a wonderful day everyone - there's a hutch to be finished and a wall to be planked
Wish me luck :)
Much love,
