What is Wrong with Me?!
Thursday, January 12, 2012
So much for my pledge to tackle one room at a time. Not only did I spontaneously pull down my Dining Room chandelier (months ago!), but thanks to an Overstock coupon code, this is what I'm staring at right now!
I am an advertiser's dream. Seriously, it's no wonder my kids are enticed by every commercial they see. When discount codes and coupons pop up in my inbox, I am virtually powerless to their pull. Next thing I know, I've clicked the dangerous little link and am browsing my options.
But I don't spend lightly, so you know I got a reeeeeallly good deal. Hopefully they work out since I've already got the old ones on Craigslist. Any ideas what I shopped?
It is no wonder I can't get projects completed around here. Please tell me I'm not the only one suffering from Homeowner ADD?!
33 witty retorts:
I think all of us DIY bloggers have homeowner ADD! Can't wait to see the reveal.
ha ha! i just wrote my home goals and there is a disclosure at the beginning about just this!
LOL. This is my problem as well. I'll start something and look around and find something else that needs attention. I'll sometimes have 5 different projects going on. Best of luck! Can't wait to see those chairs!
Now that it has a name AKA "Home owners ADD", we can all get help! j/k I don't want help (denial is the first stage).
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the dining room!!
I definitely have Design ADD and I also easily fall prey to those pesky little emails offering discount codes. Damn the internet!!
Ooo this was a FUN purchase!!! Are they leather or some other fabric?? Can't wait to see them!
My husband gets so frustrated with me and my homeowner ADD. I try so hard to finish one room at a time, but I just cannot help it. The moment there is a little down time in one project my brain moves on to the next thing. But, from the looks of the picture on the box, your ADD has served you well!

Cassie I can already see how beautiful these chairs are!! I agree , seeing so many beautiful items in blog land make the internet a playground for shopping!

girl you are too funny! and I can totally relate- I have 3 projects sitting on my dining room table and bam! I get inspired by some ding dang pic on Pinterest and now Im off on a goose chase for fabric for new drapery in the living room. :-)
I have the same problem! I want to do it all NOW. For some strange reason, budget and free time, keep that from happening. I call my affliction DIY-ADD. I think it needs to be recognized as an official condition ;-)
Have you ever read the kids' book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie"? I think it was written about me...and obviously a million other people! :)
You crack me up! Those little marketing people are tricky aren't they? They know just how to get to us. :) Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this!!
Love this -- I'm actually waiting on a box from overstock that's due to be delivered today... where did you find your coupon code?? I'm terrified that it was better than the 7% one I used!
I literally walk through my house each day to see what I have accomplished, but my list always seems to get longer, not shorter! Total ADD!
Dying to see the chairs!!! I am queen of this. It's a sickness.
I got a $30 off $200 code from Overstock and the roman shades I'd been casually eyeballing are suddenly in my living room waiting for installation. I would pretend I have a problem but the real problem is how long I covered my windows with towels.
put down the mouse and back away from the laptop. i am cutting you off -- it's for your own good. i am doing this because i love you :)
(but secretly i want to see what you got....call me!)
Congratulations! Sometimes when you see a good deal, you just have to bite. :)
OOH! THose chairs!!! YAY! I'm also on a first name basis with our UPS man. Poor Dave. LOL!
Um yep. I've got it baaaaad. That might be why there isn't a completely space to speak of in my house...hmmm...(c:
Hahaha, you are awesome. I am pulled the trigger on a few things lately too, you just can't deny a good sale.
GET OUT! I just posted about those chairs a couple of months ago! You'll have to let us know how you like them as I am dying to order them myself!

Totally agree. I can't focus on one thing. I start cleaning out a closet and next thing you know I am browsing online for rugs. I have severe ADD. Can't wait to see your new purchase!
Yup, I've got it too! But I prefer to call it "homeowner multitasking..." Sound soooo much more productive!
Oh I love buying furniture more than buying clothes or anything else! I just put together some chairs that were similar to what yours look like. Ended up screwing some 2x4 to the front (inside the seat) to keep them from flipping over backwards when we stand up. Just FYI if yours are the same. Worked great!
I'm totally the same way...and sometimes I'm driving myself crazy with all the projects/ideas I have....can't wait to see the chairs :)
If it's wrong I don't want to be right ;) Tufted - what color?! You're such a tease!
I have it too and it is bad. I just declared on my blog like a week ago that I would focus on my kids' rooms. What did I do today? Oh bought two throw pillows and a vase and stalked a rug hourly (why?) for my living room. I have issues. And apparently a spending problem.
Oh no, what a tease this is! Can't wait to see the reveal!
I can definitely relate, believe me. You aren't the only one!
How exciting!!! Can't wait to see what you bought.
I totally get it! And why didn't I try to use a coupon code when I just bought that bed??!! Duh!
Yep - have decorating ADD also. Should we start our own 12 step program??
