The mister will finally be home again this morning. Really, I have had enough of this being apart stuff. Once he gets here, it is time to start getting all of our reusable bins with latching handles organized for the movers, who will be here tomorrow. Tomorrow? Can you believe it? Wow! Time really does fly. Can I admit that I am still in disbelief? It definitely hasn’t registered.

I am excited to come back and visit Fort Collins, (in the summer!) I have several lovely, lovely friends that have offered their homes to us anytime that we visit. (Thank you, Jennifer, Clair and Cindy!) Believe me, I will definitely take advantage of it each summer! Fort Collins is fabulous and if you love or can handle a very long, cold and windy winter…it is your place. It will forever hold a special place in my heart and I have told Mr. Sweet Greens, that I might just find a small home or condo in Fort Collin’s Old Town, so I can come and go as I please.(once again, in the summer!)

So, for today I will focus on getting everything organized so that when the movers get here the loading of the truck will go quickly and smoothly. I would really, really, really love to have a little time to spend in Fort Collins before we leave. Have I mentioned, moving is hard?

P.S. The frog picture above is one of the frog statues that lives in Fort Collins City Park.

Since I just sold one of my sofa’s, a love seat and an ottoman to get ready for our move to Florida on Friday, I have been starting to think of the furniture that I will want in my new space. That is when I came across this sofa before and after project with time lapse video (see below). It has really inspired me to give this a try, I think it turned out fabulous. By the way, the music for the video just made me smile the entire time!

Would you dare to give this a try?
Do you have a piece of furniture in your home that you would love to reupholster?

UPPERCASE magazine is published by Janine who opened UPPERCASE gallery in February 2005. UPPERCASE is a quarterly magazine and one that you will want to keep forever to read and re-read and display on your fabulous bookcase. You may have seen Janine’s graphic design work and self directed projects in ReadyMade, How and Applied Arts. I really, really, really want a set of my own.

Don’t the covers alone make you want a copy of your own?
