Tongue In Cheek Tuesday #3 – Junk in Our Trunks

 The Once Upon a Time Respectable Buffet

Tongue In Cheek Tuesday#3

 The Once Upon a Time Respectable Buffet

Once upon a time, she was a respectable serving buffet, in a respectable room for that matter!

Sure, I’d lay down the occasional piece of mail on her… or my set of keys (momentarily)… but on any given day, she was poised and polite.

Oh…from time to time, we would have a party, you know… LET OUR HAIR DOWN~~)

…and we would transform her into our  mini bar.

 

She would hold her head up proudly while

Martinis were shaken

Cocktails were mixed

Wine was poured

Beer bottles were opened

Limes were twisted

Olives were speared…oh my…

 

…Never loosing sight of  her  good reputation.

Then one morning, after one of our parties….

 

This is a snap from  one of my parents’ infamous “basement” parties….not that it has anything to do with our respectable-buffet-mini-bar-parties, but doesn’t it look like a blast??

Anyway you get the picture!

 

So, one morning after one of OUR parties, I started a little DIY project.

I was too tired to finish it that day, hence I tucked the craft glue, craft paint and craft brush

inside one of the her (respectable buffet’s) drawers…

 

 

where-I-hide-my-junk

Next thing I know (though it may have taken months or years to notice), she’s propped askew against a different wall, and not even a full wall, as you can see she’s practically hanging all out….pushed aside to make room for other, not-yet-politely-painted buffets, end tables, desks and chairs… now, she has almost no respect at all!!!

Is this the same good-behavior-ed, ever-so-occasionally-sassy, kinda-like- a-tween buffet?

Has she just blossomed into a full-blown-disrespectful-know-it-all-TEEN before my very DIY eyes?

What in the DIY devil has gotten into her?

 

Her shelves are holding cans of paint, primer and clear coat…

She has drawers full of rags and sandpaper (what?)

She keeps left overs from old projects right out in the open…

Is this what they mean by “she’s finding her independence?”

Then there is odds and ends from new – not quite  finished – projects

and a bunch of what-nots from I don’t know when!!!

 

Now she talks back all the time…

And won’t listen to a dog-gone DIY word I say!!!

 

And that’s the story of my once respectable serving buffet!!

 

I’m totally looking forward to reading and viewing everyone else’s secret junk hiding places

I want to thank all of you girls who put the TICT party together and for allowing and encouraging anyone to link-up. This was my first. Hopefully I linked everything up correctly.

    First of all…..are we related? I think I see some of my relatives in that party picture!! Secondly, like I just told Lisa @ Sweetbenanna&Sam, you gotta watch that stuff that’s hidden in cabinets….breeds like rabbits when your not looking. I’d say it was good of you to help her find a decent life after her reputation-ruining party days! Thaks for linking up to Tongue-in-Cheek Tuesday!

    Came to see your junk in your trunk post. I am still laughing about a good girl gone bad. It might have been the partying that set her off on the wrong path. Boy, I want to be at that crazy party!

    LMAO!!! Too funny!! Your buffet looks like it’s suffering from a DIY hangover. Just close the doors and drawers, turn off the light, and let it sleep it off. It’ll be right as rain in a year or so.
