Where to start? So much has changed since my last post. We sold our house and bought a new one. Well not <i>new, </i>but new to us! This house had some serious issues, it was a HUD house so that's basically worse than a foreclosure. It had been vacant for 2 years and had so much water damage inside that I was a little more than worried about what we would find when we started gutting it. It also had most of the siding missing on one side on the house. All of these issues aside, when we first came to look at it I instantly fell in love with it! I saw so much potential. This house was just begging for someone to love it again and make it pretty. We knew this was going to be a huge undertaking and so much work but we knew we wanted <i>this</i> house. </div>

I'll fast forward through the drama of submitting an offer to the government agency that is HUD and the pain in the neck everything was, and how amazingly stressful it is not to know how much $$ to offer and being afraid that your offer would be too low. You cannot counter offer, you go in with your highest price and pray that it beats out all of the rest. BLAH BLAH BLAH! When our offer was accepted I wont lie, I was scared! Did we pay too much? What were we doing? We didn't know anything about this house and here we were sinking everything we had into it. But I am pleased to say that *so far* it's turned out to be a good investment. </div>

Everyone knows the kitchen is the heart of the home. If you have an amazing home with a disfunctional kitchen, it doesn't work. This house is pretty big, and I honestly don't know how they made this space work. It was BAD! The floor was completely rotted out where the dishwasher and fridge were and there were some unwelcome furry visitors that I absolutely CANNOT stand. Mice! Lets just say that me being a clean freak and a baker/cake maker this kitchen was completely gutted. End of story.</div>

This is the main formal living room. It is very hard to see but please try, the the walls, ceiling and trim is all painted the same color of baby blue. Yes, ugly baby blue. Even all of the doors. Yes, it was like they loved blue so much it was like the song "Blue" by Eiffel 65 was their inspiration. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc" target="_blank">You're welcome. </a> As you can see, it didn't take me very long to start slapping paint samples on the wall. </div>

Dining room. Nothing to note here except the awesome bright orange tape over the transitions. That's right folks, apparently people that look at Government HUD homes are so clumsy that they trip and fall when walking from room to room so they (the government) <i>rip</i> out all of the wood cover pieces that are raised and <i>meant</i> to walk on and replace them with bright orange tape. Honestly. This is still a sore spot, especially since we have yet to find a supplier that still makes this floor for the missing pieces. It's over 10 years old, so good luck with that. Phooey. </div>

Trying to find balance in everything is hard to do. I have been quite busy taking care of the kiddos and filling cake orders so this poor little blog of mine has been suffering. Hopefully soon I can learn to balance everything and make time for me! </div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Here is a little update. Trevor and I worked on re-arranging the space above the kitchen cabinets a few weeks ago and I have to say, I love how they turned out! I swear that is the hardest place to fill up and make look good at the same time! I ended up getting rid of some things that just weren't working out anymore. </div>

One thing I learned when filling up an awkward space like this is to try to have somewhat of a theme. Also, make sure things are placed at different heights. Here is the evolution of my kitchen:</div>

Those two old road markers are special to me. They came from my home town in Idaho. Big Cedar was the main road and Private Dr. #3 was the marker for our driveway. When they were replaced with the metal signs, my brother snagged them for me. Probably one of the best, most thoughtful gifts I've ever been given.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, that Be Grateful sign was a free printable I found on Pinterest, I plan on printing up the other two once I find frames for them. Here's the link:</div>

I am depressed because: 1. My baby boy is growing like a weed and 2. I haven't been swimming yet this summer! While taking care of the new little guy has been first and foremost I have managed to cram a few little projects in over the last few weeks. Here is one that is in the works (major props goes to my amazing husband for doing the hard work ie. stripping, sanding and fixing the drawers!) </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUHF6KZMz_krICgv5ezSdytijE2Q_KX23E4M9IPG5gxxj4tZ9y_mrNt0KPJm_0Fk6FjegEJoGUqfM1O2Z9QKe9um8mgnCQR21Bh0WsZATtwLMXx6y0RT_pdMrPW9yvueoi0yVimvj_3l0/s1600/Random+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUHF6KZMz_krICgv5ezSdytijE2Q_KX23E4M9IPG5gxxj4tZ9y_mrNt0KPJm_0Fk6FjegEJoGUqfM1O2Z9QKe9um8mgnCQR21Bh0WsZATtwLMXx6y0RT_pdMrPW9yvueoi0yVimvj_3l0/s400/Random+001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This is the project I meant to get finished before baby arrived but it just never happened. It was in really rough shape. None of the hardware is original except for the key holes, bummer. But I fell in love with the curves and I knew it would be perfect in the nursery so against my husbands better judgement I bought it. I am still up in the air about the color it will be. I may end up painting it creamy white again but we will see. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiko0mdXg9mZEzpp3YgjngIRYD2TnQtUHfNK2sp_N-i-HiDEj7biV7m3yomz_DKu6CC154tWCHzu9YNF1H9KHyPuuQkHhY6BAjaDhr_ehyphenhyphenhONPl-VcfJJesW3YZUsRZCdIejLxKGTRZN-M/s1600/Random+017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiko0mdXg9mZEzpp3YgjngIRYD2TnQtUHfNK2sp_N-i-HiDEj7biV7m3yomz_DKu6CC154tWCHzu9YNF1H9KHyPuuQkHhY6BAjaDhr_ehyphenhyphenhONPl-VcfJJesW3YZUsRZCdIejLxKGTRZN-M/s400/Random+017.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">It had LAYERS and LAYERS of paint on it. It was definitely due to be stripped. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

One of my biggest projects I have been wanting has been a new (to me) kitchen sink. The faucet in the kitchen has been leaking and spraying out places it shouldn't when it's turned on, plus--- I absolutely DESPISE the sink the last homeowner put in. We have hard water and whatever the material this sink is made out of shows every little spec of limescale buildup and it's nearly impossible to clean. Not a good combination for this <strike>EXTREMELY</strike> slightly OCD girl!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A while back Trevor bought a porcelain sink at D.I for a steal knowing that I have been wanting one forever he went ahead and bought it. It has sat in our shed out back just waiting to be put in. Well, last week he finally installed it and we bought a new faucet too. It's amazing how something so small and simple can make such a huge difference in the kitchen! I love it, it's clean, slightly country looking and fits the kitchen perfectly. </div><br />

The carpet in this house has never been replaced. That's 14 year old carpet! Yuck! Anyway, with a new baby on the way I decided that it was time to replace it. I didn't want another baby rolling around on the nasty old carpet. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband and I were at odds about the color choices. All I know about carpet is that the foam mat placed underneath the carpet is really important to how the carpet feels and wears over time. Also, the darker the color the smaller the space feels. When I picked up the carpet samples, I found the perfect color, I didn't even feel like I needed to see other options once I saw it. Problem? Trevor didn't like it. He liked a much darker color. A couple weeks went by and we were nearing the date to have the carpet installed so a decision had to be made. Trevor told me that he was going to let me choose the color, he just wanted to get the new carpet in. So my color it was!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to admit, on the day they came to install the carpet I was pretty nervous. What if I chose the wrong color? Well, as soon as I saw it I knew I chose the right one. It was perfect and even darker than I thought it was going to be- which was one reason Trevor didn't like the sample, he thought it looked too light. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The color is called Fossil. It is gray- some of the pictures it looks sort of brown but it's not at all. I am in love!

Well, I think the hard part is over. Last night and this morning I finally tackled putting the fabric on the cushions. I think I got WAYY too much fabric- thanks to my handy husband we were able to use the whole piece we cut. Guess I will be making lots of pillow case covers and maybe some drapes?? It's a good thing the fabric is pretty! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I originally bought two 3" foam pads meant for camping at Home Depot- I looked everywhere for a foam pad that would work for this project that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The pads at Home Depot were only $20.00 and they were perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After doing some research online I discovered the best way for cutting foam pads. An electric knife! Who knew? Some ladies attempted using bread knives and I'm sure that took forever and looked like a hack job. I decided to look for an electric knife. So the hubs and I took a trip to one of our favorite thrift stores, D.I.! Low and behold there was an electric knife there for $5.00 with three extra blades. Score. </div>

My husband did pretty much everything for the next few steps. He measured the foam pads and discovered that if he cut them just so he would only need one foam pad for both seats! So I returned the second pad. </div>

I had to have my sister in-law help me because after watching a few Youtube tutorials I wanted to send it back from where it came! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last night she came over and helped me learn the basics. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It is lots of fun! I started slapping vinyl all over my house! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a project I just did today:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had a frame on the wall by our bed that said: "Always Kiss me Goodnight". I loved it. Well, for some unknown reason Trevor knocked it off the wall one morning and the frame and glass shattered. I'm not sure as to how he managed to do it but I have wanted to replace it ever since. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, yesterday I decided that I wanted to make a coat rack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this week I was at Hobby Lobby and had some birthday money and decided that it was burning a hole in my pocket. So I thought "I'll just buy some cute hooks and let inspiration flow on how I'll use them." They were all 50% off so that also helped me break down and make the purchase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked through my pile of scraps for some wood that I could re-use. I found a piece of bead board that was the perfect size, and because the bead board was too thin, my hubby cut out a piece of wood to glue to the back of it to make it more substantial. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I started with:</div>

Let that sit for about 30 minutes and got started on the paint.<br />
<br />
I have a few sample sized paints from Valspar that I have for small projects.<br />
For this project I used Reflection Pond and Piano Brown:<br />

<br />
I have had this project finished for a while now but never took pictures of the end results or blogged about it, so here it is! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband picked up a rod iron patio set from a garage sale as a surprise for me. I'm not going to lie, it was in pretty bad shape. The cushions were completely ratty and weathered- those went straight to the trash. I'm not sure what the original paint color was, it was so rusted and weathered that I was a little worried if I could bring it back to life. But the chairs had a shabby chic feel and I liked their lines so I got about 8 cans of creamy Heritage White spray paint (Rust-Oleum) and went to work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I think she turned out well. I am a fan of the color in my kitchen.<br />
I'm slowly working my way up to painting pieces fun bright colors, the glaze really helps tone it down.<br />

Anyway, I am no longer following all of my favorite blogs- BUMMER! :( I will be trying to find everyone again, any suggestions on how to do this easier than one at a time? I would appreciate any tips or pointers! Have a splendid day! :)<br />Carisa @ PaintmeshabbyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855152461744325340.post-62227018841603595252012-03-19T12:45:00.005-07:002012-03-19T13:45:17.138-07:00UPDATE on the Dining Nook!<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">This has been the LONGEST project ever and we are so close to finishing it completely!<br />
A big shout out goes to my husband, he really did this entire project on his own. I don't know what I would do If I didn't have such a handy husband!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, I have to give credit to my sweet husband for the major sanding and staining of this table.

I love how rich and pretty the wood grain turned out. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkTGyfnUmxtXpqB9xHj4LXrJvBXicQG1d8lxkuQZI0X3Z0DlWstbWLGV4_kbizDdDDwI16J3-jOMBcTy1zBPDS7jwsEHaSSqMQF5TwbtQq7YMucVeItNJvoYcYAUMLiCQNGUR2KNfKEm8/s1600/CUPCAKES+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkTGyfnUmxtXpqB9xHj4LXrJvBXicQG1d8lxkuQZI0X3Z0DlWstbWLGV4_kbizDdDDwI16J3-jOMBcTy1zBPDS7jwsEHaSSqMQF5TwbtQq7YMucVeItNJvoYcYAUMLiCQNGUR2KNfKEm8/s320/CUPCAKES+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I didn't bother sanding the bottom portion of the table, I gave it two good coats of paint and sealed it with my wipe on poly.

Only this would be the dining nook- because my house is tiny :) Well... I told my husband and he said he would help me! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">...So a couple weeks ago I sold my kitchen table... and chairs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ffECM_97uYXSE_6orb9ngkey0Q7xAhluUGJf7ojULZA4KeydTlI16Qt-LvfIfQvkkjXH_6MtSuMBuNmtaVgFMpW2EhdBeBKd-5UIx80GIv2pnE4OuUOO3VdRGK4Aqqlni7KlBmSS1QY/s1600/KSL+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ffECM_97uYXSE_6orb9ngkey0Q7xAhluUGJf7ojULZA4KeydTlI16Qt-LvfIfQvkkjXH_6MtSuMBuNmtaVgFMpW2EhdBeBKd-5UIx80GIv2pnE4OuUOO3VdRGK4Aqqlni7KlBmSS1QY/s320/KSL+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> They were fine but I needed a square table to do what I have envisioned so the pretty thing had to go.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I put them on the KSL classifieds and they sold for $200. They sold a little sooner than I had expected so we have been living without a table and chairs which is no big deal since we usually sit at the kitchen counter anyway. But I would like to throw an after Christmas dinner party and a table is kind of needed for that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I searched for a couple of days and found the PERFECT table. I know I use caps a lot when I am excited but honestly- I'm not using my caps loosely here! It's PERFECT! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> I picked it up for $100 (well actually my sweet, sweet hubby did)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here's the beaut (Don't mind my disastrous garage!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4RQDES5zFee3KyMMZdY9sxVP_cT9W-r66qyZ25RFDCiDJdM4Qt0DmUFkbnU5dIP9omLZcewr6AE2vEGeUnb73L_X9YH_KjnoxpZCleSNCRKZO_AD7yhAPu0Zi_FM8EXnVDwfYZquma0/s1600/Nikon+December+020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4RQDES5zFee3KyMMZdY9sxVP_cT9W-r66qyZ25RFDCiDJdM4Qt0DmUFkbnU5dIP9omLZcewr6AE2vEGeUnb73L_X9YH_KjnoxpZCleSNCRKZO_AD7yhAPu0Zi_FM8EXnVDwfYZquma0/s400/Nikon+December+020.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is what I have planned for her:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This one is from Sears</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSM9tl3gcbFoGw4aFigyjN14RKzC1f5cq97L7L-x96nckGk7JkkRuaPDZEUQcvH3fhrCaRt_jVW7NLyAB5bwFS4hoAg03sM3-oGEXmp_4jFcbgz2JnSHqW1BJeeurZeQ62doD3mUkIoPQ/s1600/601_20087_P.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSM9tl3gcbFoGw4aFigyjN14RKzC1f5cq97L7L-x96nckGk7JkkRuaPDZEUQcvH3fhrCaRt_jVW7NLyAB5bwFS4hoAg03sM3-oGEXmp_4jFcbgz2JnSHqW1BJeeurZeQ62doD3mUkIoPQ/s1600/601_20087_P.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Both of these tables retailed for around $1,000-1,200. </div><div style="text-align: center;">No thank you! Once I'm finished with this project I'm thinking I will be in it around $350 and the money from my table and chairs that I already sold will offset that cost. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also snagged some vintage chairs that are going to need a LOT of work but they will be perfect for the table when I finally finish them. Pictures will come in a later post of those so check back soon! This project is going to be done within the next couple of weeks. </div>Carisa @ Paintmeshabbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08368767692564321252noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855152461744325340.post-50814430208145171592011-12-08T10:08:00.000-08:002011-12-08T10:13:19.286-08:00Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt6NCt3YelxP-jqu6wm4je1sLxbTMtD_feWtyl2lm_hTV8rw_AqROHY6IrBFArA9X0dyT-E7cgIA8CAQO7NHQWvjgLTn9fk73pEj82UPpshXoSYrxOlTKlhNNb5PQueuizgxv6lGOnnA/s1600/376324413v8_240x240_Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt6NCt3YelxP-jqu6wm4je1sLxbTMtD_feWtyl2lm_hTV8rw_AqROHY6IrBFArA9X0dyT-E7cgIA8CAQO7NHQWvjgLTn9fk73pEj82UPpshXoSYrxOlTKlhNNb5PQueuizgxv6lGOnnA/s1600/376324413v8_240x240_Front.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(This picture made me laugh, I thought it would be appropriate given the nature of my blog)</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's been long overdue, a post! I have been extremely ill these last few weeks, actually these last 6 weeks to be exact. Yes, I've had the dreaded 'Morning Sickness'. Except that this is not just morning but it's also; mid morning, noon, afternoon, evening and night... I'm sure you get it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been around the clock.<br />
I'm not meaning to complain because we are extremely excited! </div> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> James (2 1/2) is also excited- he will make a great big brother! We told the family on Thanksgiving with this shirt I made for James.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0uaH7y_WdFS-egusoqxO3CIDfi2JSGjkofnFTtZrsQhYCR1TdGhRRNgbZ3-LPAorxYJhp8nXXgmHdnYexdDm2mKC45sTkeBi5fn0hDTwUZZedw7Drn1a3M2NfvzaXlavOePb1Gc68LwI/s1600/379572_10150971923455790_574850789_21744015_1905415971_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0uaH7y_WdFS-egusoqxO3CIDfi2JSGjkofnFTtZrsQhYCR1TdGhRRNgbZ3-LPAorxYJhp8nXXgmHdnYexdDm2mKC45sTkeBi5fn0hDTwUZZedw7Drn1a3M2NfvzaXlavOePb1Gc68LwI/s640/379572_10150971923455790_574850789_21744015_1905415971_n.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I am just about out of my first trimester so hopefully this sickness starts to let up. I have been so exhausted from nausea and vomiting that I have had zero energy to tackle the projects that I have lined up- which is going to be awesome when I get to them but for now I am trying to take it easy. I just wanted to let all of my followers know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I'm just growing a little human! :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have been looking and looking for some inexpensive slipcovers for my couches for quite some time now. I have two sets of couches that I was looking to cover- the problem is always that the slipcovers never fit right or they just look cheap. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, the week before last I was reading up on some blogs and I stumbled upon one that was writing a review for a slipcover company. The company was <a href="http://uglysofa.com/">Uglysofa.com</a>, after seeing the pictures and reading her review I was sure I had to order some of my own! I went on ugly sofa's website and found the perfect slipcovers and ordered them. I did come across a problem that I wanted to fix so I emailed them before my shipment went out and they were extremely nice to work with and made sure the error (on my part) was corrected. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, I should mention that these slipcovers were all Potterybarn brand x'd out. So you can't beat the quality or the price- which was around $29 per couch. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">These couches are the most uncomfortable couches of all time. So, I sold them over the weekend. The good news is that my in-laws were getting rid of theirs (which are super comfy-just a bit out of style) so we got theirs :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUzo40LiuEtMX5XdISi2drdXOffQijDocW4UOQVV4ziiQaiF-iL202DDDclI-9RyskHQGtOSAQwP350cxfv-Bt5Gzma78wVf46k_eYET4DNemhbowhjQ5_L_7yXwlGvsFG0gPD68Udgk/s1600/pictures+from+htc+105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUzo40LiuEtMX5XdISi2drdXOffQijDocW4UOQVV4ziiQaiF-iL202DDDclI-9RyskHQGtOSAQwP350cxfv-Bt5Gzma78wVf46k_eYET4DNemhbowhjQ5_L_7yXwlGvsFG0gPD68Udgk/s640/pictures+from+htc+105.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br />
