Groovy

Today is groovy man. The kids got to dress up as hippies for school. This was what they came up with.  I have to admit that I don't have a lot of hippie costumes, but I think they did OK.  I spent the day spray painting my mirror, and painting a chair.  I went turquoise with the mirror and I think I really like it.
Do you remember the chairs I had Landon put together. Well, I got one painted for my craft room.
It started as this...and ended up as this.
I painted the chair onion peel and stenciled a gray checked pattern.  I took my fleur de lis pattern and used some tuquoise paint to stencil that pattern on the top.
I also got my other chair's cushion re-covered in some different fabric.  Thumb tacs and a screw driver, and I had that done in about an hour.
My room is almost done, and I'm excited for the weekend.  Happy Friday!

Haha! I love the kids' outfits... very groovy :-) Love the mirror and the chairs, but I especially love the fabric you used for your cushion! Makes me wish I had some time to do some sewing!!

Your children's outfits look fantastic, particularly with your little girl's hair. So cool. What a hippie chick!
