Freshing Up

For a long while I have been wanting to reupholster the dining room chairs. I saw a friend do hers and decided I was skilled enough with a staple gun to take it on. What I failed to take into account (when this still seemed like a romantic idea) was that our chairs have fabric on the backs and seats. All of a sudden this wasn't an afternoon project. I finally bit the bullet and bought fabric....which then sat on my counter taunting me for 2 months. A few days ago I decided it was time to tackle the project. After getting the first chair apart I discovered there was sewing involved, that's never a good sign with me. I forged ahead anyway. 4 days later and a smattering of staple gun fury I have 1 chair finished. That's right, 1 chair. I can proudly say however that 2 more are mid process and all the material is cut. With a little more staple gun fury tomorrow I hope to finish two more chairs. Here is my 1/4 finished project.



And these things had better stay together because I have no desire to do this again!
