I'm addicted to makeover shows. Yeah, I can get my fix from Trading Spaces, Clean House, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition AND People Edition.

However, I soon may be experiencing withdrawal as the Harding powers that be exchange the fabulous enabling cable for fast action DSL. I know lame, right? Well since my source is being ripped away from me I decided to take action. Rusty and I rescued a long lost settee. With the help of my skillful friend Erin our bottoms will enjoy this new addition to our home.
So...if you'll just put on a blindfold...…
