Have a seat

Excuse me while I toot my own horn right quick... HONK HONK baby! I did it!!!! This chair holds every inch and every beat of my heart!!!! This is my rough draft! I wanted to see if I could do it myself before I paid someone an arm and a leg to do it for me...

Inspiration ......

Chair. 7.00 Good Will

Gold Spray Paint 2.80

Fabric 6.99/yd ( I used one yard and still have more left over for the back!)
Decorative ribbon to cover staples .99

Not bad... Not bad at all for my first upholstering job and this chair WAS NOT EASY!

And now that I know my rush trial can look like this... on to perfecting it for real!

The Little Red Desk

I purchased the cutest little desk and chair set for the little guy a month ago at the GOODWILL and initally had planned to give it to him from Santa for Christmas... Well that idea went out the window when I realized that he had to help me sneak all the furniture out of my trunk onto the balcony before the hubs got home (giggle giggle) I am a terrible story teller so i went ahead and told him it was his BUT he couldn't have it until Christmas... So it sat on the balcony for a few weeks and finally Sunday I sanded, primed and painted this old desk a vibrant red!!! The first project in his new big boy room transformation! YAY
