Despite the sleepless nights and compulsive Pinteresting, I've decided that the nesting instinct is a real blessing. For a few consecutive months I am motivated to do any and all projects that have been cluttering my brain/house for weeks, months ... even years.
('Cause after the baby comes, you better believe I am doing nothing for half a year. Or longer.)
Case in point: this chair.
Slice and I bought this chair maybe two years ago at a freight-damaged place in town - still one of the few pieces of furniture we have actually bought. While we loved the look (and the chair has gotten us more compliments than anything else in the house!), it just didn't match anything we own. So I've been planning to re-cover it ever since we brought it home.
Last week I finally did.
My trusty handyman helped with the dismantling:
Slice helped with some of the stapling and reassembling. The job did take a little ingenuity - but don't be like Slice and get all surprised at my sewing and problem-solving skills. Just because I keep them well hidden doesn't mean they aren't there!
The fabric is quite boring compared to the original (I know), but it's also neutral, which is what I wanted for now. I still have another chair waiting in the garage, and some other ideas up my sleeve.
Not a bad piece of furniture for about $50 total.
Who am I kidding? We LOVE this chair!
Item #2: Right side-view mirror that has been broken since the elk ran into us almost a year ago.
Slice replaced it all by himself.
Item #3: Two bushels of peaches, canned and put away in my cute little pantry.
I have many many fond memories of canning (especially peaches), and this time was no exception. It is just so fun! Also, Slice and I doubled our yield from last year so we don't have to ration them quite as carefully.
Love the chair! Looks great!
