ahhh... real life

Well I'm so excited - my Renovator hubby and I finished covering the seats for the dining room chairs yesterday!  Yeayy!!!  So I'm like, okay, let me get the room cleaned up, the table cloth on, and let's get those chairs all set up around the table and take some pics!  Yeah!  I walk in and this is what I find:

Uhhhh... wha?  Apparently it's Tax Time!  And this is the only place he can spread out and organize the mountain of paperwork. But he promised it won't be this way for long [I should hope not!].  You can still see the chairs - so happy with how they turned out!  Oy, and you can see the very, very old chairs we had... can you see why I needed new ones??  haha

I'll have a pretty picture very soon [hopefully]... 

Love, Kelli

Happy Weekend

Started out my day watching/supporting my son’s middle school pep band and boys and girls basketball teams.  With thunderstorms were outside it was a great time to be indoors cheering from the bleachers.   

Now we're home and it’s bleak outside, but we have a fire going inside :o)

Happy Weekend !

Finally!! {A Tale of Two Chairs}

I have finally finished one chair!  I have no idea how long it will take me to get the other three finished so I am going to go ahead and show it off…

They started out like this…  the seat cushions smelled so bad that they never made it into the house.. I found them on craigslist for $10 each!

Then my awesome Renovator husband gave them a little sanding/cleaning, priming, and finally paint… [Rustoleum Red]

And then they sat for about three months until I finally found the fabric that I wanted, ordered it, and ordered the foam.  Then, yesterday, my best friend, Joanne, came over and showed me how to cover the seats!

So, one more time – tada! 

I am almost finished with the second chair and will get to work on the other two this weekend.  Then all I have to do is paint the dining room and do a couple dozen other things in there (curtains, rug, move piano out, table cover, new light fixture….) and it’ll be done…  who am I kidding?  It’s never really DONE, is it?  But that's half the fun :D  How do you like them???  I'm so excited!

Love, Kelli
