i think i can...i think i can....

i keep telling myself this hoping that this project will just magically turn out AH-mazing.  truth is, i've NEVER attempted anything close to upholstery/recovering etc so i'm pretending i know what i'm doing and crossing my fingers.
as you can see, we're down to bare chair bones!  wahoooo!!!!  i'm going to go ahead and vacuum it (it had more dust and dirt 3 times the amount i ever saw at my late g-ma chatelains house in backwoods La.) and maybe even spray with some sort of freshener.  brett is afraid it will give us a disease or something...he's so dramatic.  and then high gloss black here i come!!  i'm still not sure about the fabric but i have time b/c i still  need to figure out the padding.  but here are some pics from yesterday.

lots ad lots of staples
  

almost there....
