Finally Finished! Re-Upholstered Chair

Yeah, it wasn't pretty

A few months ago, I started a upholstery class on Tuesday nights. We each had to bring our own "project" piece with us to class every week. Do you  remember when my chair looked like this? And now, it's finally finished. Yay!! I have been doing a happy dance every time I see it sitting in the bedroom!

Sorry that it's been a while, but my little brother was here for almost a week (on and off) and I didn't want to stop to post while he was busy working his fingers to the bone. Having him here is such a blessing, as I finally get to cross a ton of stuff off of my "to-do" list, and the relief I get from being able to do that is amazing. One of the things we were able to finish was such thorn in my side for a while now - the shed! When I went to buy it off a Craigslist seller, it looked like … [Read more...]
