The Lily Goes DIT

The day started with the renowned Ann Sather cinnamon roles, coffee, and a chilly walk down Southport.

(And okay, we have an apt name...)

Soon we were covered in Manhattan Mist paint and singing to good tunes...

all-day pajamas, antique and thrift.

reupholstering, revacc'ing, and removing... 

DIT (Do It Together, not Yourself...) Day was the best yet.

We may or may not have fended off rodents and old men at Salvation A's half-price MLK sale... (not recommended.)

Enduring blood and injury...

and walking blocks in the icey snowstorm.

Though the day ended with dust and dirt, 

we sat in our new little living room 

and smiled.

Happy, happy day.

Ann Sather's in hand.

yummmmm.

we should get an award for making a 1/2 quart last an entire living room.

Our apt = a simple game of Don't Touch The Floor.

Early morning. Energized and Motivated.

Love the Lily.

When you don't have ladders... use windows.

gross cantaloupe is gone!!

Lazy Dog... we can't afford you.

which is why we ended up here. In MLK Salvation Army chaaaaos. with the rest of Chicago.

Kitchen Frames. Fighting with the level'er. Dirty and tired. Almost done for the night!

When you get things for free off craigslist, you need a shop vac. Best $45 investment of life.

The best part is... our entire living room only cost a grand total of $20.

....Talk about DIY.

The "After" photos to come!
