Once I buy a house I will be very excited to receive guests 😉 and if those guests want to do a project while they visit??? I'm not about to say no. They really are nice chairs, the cushions could also stand to be reupholstered but even those I kinda want to keep a similar color/vibe.
Dad for scale.

Does anyone know anything about refinishing furniture? I have a pair of chairs from my grandparents that I LOVE, and know they probably need to be professionally refinished, but is there any sort of "temporary fix" I can do for where the finish has worn off on the arm rests?

I'm doing a "decorate your own tree" coloring page thing at work and this is one of my examples for a more creative tree.
Tomorrow I'm thinking a Fraser fir and a Frasier fir might be added to the mix

At its deepest, goes up to about the dog's elbows, so maybe closer to 8-9"? Too deep for booties to do a whole lot other than be annoying, so limited romping time. He said he was done, so we're done.

Zissou is feeling the spirit of the William H. Macy Thanksgiving Day parade this morning, which is still 5 days before Thanksgiving.
He has another toy that's just a turkey, but he brought me the one with the hat.

It is warm enough to not need the heat but too cold to run the air conditioner and someone kept me up all night with 30494059 degrees of canine body heat.
It's a great Saturday for napping, at least!

Are you a Costco person? I bought this box of wine that's clearly intended to be a gift for someone else, but after trying one bottle (the Ulula, a Spanish red blend), I went back and bought another.
$35, 4 bottles, all highly rated reds

Zissou and I had our first therapy dog visit today, and one of the things the therapy animal teams do is have trading cards of their therapy animals.
I found a superhero trading card template online that I think would be so fun to use? Abilities: wiggling, super sniffing, snuggling
