whoever made this chair went
staple gun crazy!!

i can't decide whether to cover it in drop cloth/duck cloth material in a neutral/pottery barn feel with high gloss black legs and black trim....or bring in some pattern and color?  i feel our living room is a little dull in the color department but we've opted not to paint it since we'll only be here for a couple years. i am working on a gallery wall of pictures so i'll keep updates on that too.
STAY TUNED.......

diy

i keep thinking i can recover this chair myself...actually brett said we can tackle this together but lord knows there is only one person who can work a sewing machine in this house!!
i called a few places and got labor estimates from $225-$400 for the chair plus cost of fabric.  i know i'll have to buy a few tools (i.e. staple gun) but i think i can get under those prices.  i don't want my $15 chair to turn into a $700 chair.

on a way different note, i'm not a Glee-k in any way, but last nights show was GREAT!!!  lots of songs that i LOVED and found myself tapping my feet while googling....or i was singing and dancing with hurley. whatev.

btw....


This is me moving to TN, taking a chance...but i knew :)

our happy little family!
One year ago today, brett proposed!

upholstery project???

i bought this for $15...i know....I KNOW!!!  AND its comfy.  I KNOW!!!!!  but, do i try to recover this myself or bring it somewhere and possibly ruin the low, low price tag of it?!?!?  truth be told....i'm a little hesitant to reveal this to brett, knowing i'm going to get some push back....but it was ONLY $15!!!!!
a tutorial would be great right about now....
ok GO!

dining room....




i'm really excited with how the chairs turned out!  as you can see from the second picture, i need to do something with the wall there...it's totally bare.  i'm thinking a mirror and then some black and white prints....maybe sea life???  brett really likes anything to do with ocean/water/etc.  i think i'll get a black and white striped rug for entryway to tie into it...wonder if brett will notice if it just shows up one day.......
