Thrift Store Chairs–Sneak Peak

11 April 2012 11 Comments

I’m not ready to reveal my chair transformation just yet.  I’m struggling with the upholstery issue.  Well,  I wouldn’t be if I had taken the time to research first.  But instead I dove right in and they seat covers look a little sad.  After 10 minutes on Pinterest (why didn’t I do that in the first place?) I found out what I did wrong.  I’ll be tackling the seats again tomorrow.  So until I have a finished product to show you I’ll leave you with a little sneak peak of what I’ve been up to.April 2012 020 What has been keeping you busy?  Ever get ahead of yourself on a project and just wish you hadn’t been so eager to get it done?  Story. Of. My. Life.diana
