The urge to be
crafty really comes and goes. . .
Recently it came, so I took advantage and got some stuff done!
Have a look at this... I found a pair of vintage Flex Steel club
chairs on Craig's last spring. They are super cute and retro
"as-is". . .
...
. . .but the
fabric is pretty dirty and gross. Plus, I wanted them for projects. So it
was out with the old and in with the new. . . Charcoal Gray. . .

This was my
first ever "chair-with-a-cushion" project. By the way, cushions are the
devil when it comes to upholstering. Cushions and staples....THE DEVIL.
But in the end the chair turned out pretty good and it sold in a flash
on Craig's.
(Maybe I underpriced? No worries, I have another one.
Won't make that mistake twice.)
Wondering what I should do with chair #2...I'm taking
suggestions...and orders.
This one is just an After.
I didn't get a before shot. sorry.
My friend, Jess is having a baby girl. (awww.) She had one
of those gliding rockers. . . you know the ones that are super practical, but kind
of a dud for the eyes? Well, there is something you (or I) can do about
it.
Have a look....

Just a couple
of yards of cute fabric and voila! Just a touch of pink. So
sweet!

Ps.. Can't wait to show you what I'm working on right now. . . 2 words: Orange Velvet.
PPS. My first Blog Giveaway is on deck! Stay tuned!
Hey girl! I actually have been looking on Craigs for a rocker, and I was going to see if you could re-upholster it for me! If you see anything interesting let me know. By the way that grey chair is AMAZING! You are really getting good!
