Stairs! Rug! Nutella!

Well holy smokes. I haven't posted anything this week.

This is what has been going down....

1) Awesome football watching with Nick & Hanna in Bozeman. Cats win!
2 & 3) Stair-making in the den. Still working on this. Though the treads are now polyurethaned and are waiting to be installed.
4 & 5) Dope rug. Which Eric's father gave me. Which was super nice. I adore it. I have been coveting similar rugs for a while but cannot afford them. Apparently his DOG was using this for a bed and when Eric told him I liked rugs like that, he showed up at our house and handed this one over. That is kind of a big deal. He really likes that dog. However, I am thinking that everything is going a bit BROWN in this area, so there might be some chair cushion fabric changes coming soon. And possibly some paint application to one of those end tables? And possibly a light-colored soft and squishy bigger rug to also live in this room. You can layer rugs, right? Or have more than one in a room? Yeah. You can. I'm doing it. Gosh I hate buying rugs; they're so expensive.....

On the completely indulgent side of things, I bought Nutella at Costco a week ago. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. I now have two giant vats of a completely addictive substance hanging out in my cupboard. And Eric is leaving me this weekend (for a wedding). My weekend will probably involve the following:

Or just straight up this:

Haha! Just kidding.

I'm actually hoping to finish my dining chairs this weekend. I am halfway through sanding my third chair, so completing that project would totally be doable this weekend. If I avoid putting on sweatpants, that is.
