"Love it, you're a genius" won at 70% (I just realized that I spelled genius wrong in the poll - guess that makes me not a genius).
And the "Like it, but wouldn't want it in my house" was in 2nd place at 24%!
I was surprised that "Hate it, you ruined a perfectly good piece of furniture" had no votes. Since that was my initial reaction after painting it, I can only imagine that the people who felt that way didn't vote.
Good thing is that I have grown to really like the piece. And as wildly colorful as I thought it was at first, it almost is blending into the walls right now. Almost.
I have been having an amazingly unproductive week so far. I have been looking at
Actually my first car ever purchased was quite the muscle car. It was a Chevy Impala similar to this.
Not sure of the year, but I think it was a '68.
That car had some get up and go. The guy I bought it off of used to race it at the drag races. Probably a little too dangerous for a 16 year old girl to be driving, but it sure had some quick acceleration at traffic lights.
I've also had a Mazda Miata which I loved. Loved the handling and responsiveness of it. Driving it was like an extension of your body. Come to think of it, most of my cars have been on the sporty side.
But for now and ever after, I'm a mini van person. We're buying this one with the intent to get it modified for wheelchair access for my son, so we're a little confined as to what year and type of van we can have.
After a week of shopping, I have narrowed it down to what I want - a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Now to just find one with all the options that the sporty girl in me wants and the practical side of me needs. Oh, and with low miles.
Anyhow that's why I have been around visiting blogs much this week. Just working on the van buying project. I hope I find "the one" today and can get back to my normal chaotic life!
Good luck with your search. I'm sure you'll find just the one you need. You've had the cars I've always wanted but never got. Well, once. I had a Nissan 240. Loved it. But all my other cars have been whatever the buyer of the car (parents or husband) wanted. Nice, but not me.
ReplyDeleteI missed your poll, but I love the turquoise color of the buffet!! I think it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGL with your van search!
Somehow I missed the poll, but I do love the turquoise buffet too. I would think that color would bring a smile to your face when walking into the room!
ReplyDeleteI am currently driving a Honda Odyssey and can hardly wait to turn it in for a sporty, little car!! Hope your new van is just what you wanted!!
Best of luck with the van hunting, I know it can take a lot of time:@)
ReplyDeleteWE had a Honda Odyssey and traded it in a couple of years ago when gas went up to $4/ gallon for a Honda Civic. Nice sporty little car with good gas mileage but I miss my mini van sooooooo much! I want another one! The pic of the Impala reminds me of my dad's 67 same color blue with black vinyl top. I took my driver's test in it when I was 16. Good luck in your hunt for the van!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, shopping for vehicles and electronics is mind-numbing for me anyway. Good luck with that and I hope you find the best fit for your needs. The poll reflects how most feel the love for turquoise I think. I am glad the piece has grown on you! ♥O
ReplyDeleteYou totally crack me up Pam! My husband had a 68 cherry red Chevy Impala! And now works for Toyota, corporate offices in Chicago! Too funny~ Oh, I bought some more silver today! Can't wait to show you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see peeps liked the buffet!!!! Yes, I can relate, love me some sporty cars!!! I do drive a wagon though, but eventually, I'll get back to sporty! Everyone I know with a T&C van loves them and say they are the best, good luck with your search, and don't drive to fast!LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think I missed the poll...but I was a lover of it for sure!
ReplyDeleteCar shopping can take over your life. It is not one of my fave things to do.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!

WE drove Town & Countrys for years and had excellent luck with them. You will love it for the convenience of it and for your son! Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteA van also comes in handy when thrifting...or for when you see something on the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteOne day last summer I saw a sweet little table on the side of the road. I worked for 10 minutes trying to get it in my car...to no avail. :o(
I would love to have an old beat-up pick up for auction days.
Happy van buying!
Oh, Pam! I love the turquoise buffet! You did a fabulous job! And good luck in finding a mini-van -- oh, I've been there, trying to find the perfect used/new-to-me car! I will say a prayer to St. Anthony for you that you find the perfect one! He is the finder of lost things that must be found, and you MUST find a nice mini-van! ;)
ReplyDeleteBest,
