Work Stuff :)

Hey family!

I am mainly publishing this because it is my job. I am the head of marketing for a small inventory management software company in Redmond, WA. Dynamic Systems has been developing and selling asset tracking software and barcode technology since 1981.

My president was actually one of the early players in the industry and has a reputation for being a fair and ethical business woman. Our biggest product is actually equipment tracking software which is the number one choice by small construction companies, contractors, landscapers and other skilled trades involving tools.

If you want to know more, check out the Dynamic Systems website or read our Barcode Software Blog.

Table to Ottoman

Several of the DIY blogs I follow talk about finding discarded furniture in out of the way places such as alleys and turning them into something beautiful and useful. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a coffee table in the middle of a rural path on my walk this morning. When I first spied it I immediately thought it would make a great ottoman. I was too far from home to carry the table so I hurried home and talked your dad into driving me back to collect the table. It is now safely stored in our garage.

Your dad asked me where I was going to put it when it is completed. Truthfully, I don’t know, but I have the loft or family room or 4 kids that may want it. Besides the point of this project is scoring a free piece of furniture and giving it a new purpose in life such as the example below.



The next step is to decide what to cover it with. I picked out 3 different fabrics:

A trendy French burlap

A contemporary green geometric

and a more traditional print.

Let me know which fabric you vote for!

I am starting the transformation tomorrow and will keep you posted of the progress.
