I think I have seen it all in potty training….

We went to buy a now toilet seat and found the Bemis 546ch at Home Depot it was about $30.00.  I can’t believe I don’t have to hall that padded Diego potty set on and off the potty 20 times a day!  I was a little worried it would not work but it did and looks nice, and Regan is super happy to have a big potty seat.  She calls it the rapido potty, yes to say she loves Dora and Diego is a bit of an understatement.

Kitchen Chairs

Old nasty cover with years of wear
We bought this table with 6 chairs about 10 years ago at a furniture auction (a closing business) for $250.00 dollars it was a great buy.  As with most kitchen tables they seen a lot of action. Several years ago I had Rob sand down the top and I refinished it,  it was like a new table again.  Now the chairs are a different story, I’m not sure why they put cream colored fabric on chairs but after only a year I redid them and put on this blue and green plaid fabric (5.00 bucks a yard I could not pass it up) it has served us well.  But you can tell they are in bad need of removing, but not wanting to spend a ton of money I went to my fabric stash much to my surprise in the deeps of it was this amazing wine bottle tapestry, it is perfect but I needed an additional yard.  I turned to Google found it Harvest wine bottles double score!  So for under 30.00 bucks, fabric and a can of Scotch Guard I have new chairs!  I think the new fabric goes so well with the wood of the table and chairs as well with our floor.
