read the whole post for a mini giveaway
do you have a chair that needs updating?
here are a few i have had done
simple ways to give them a new look
before and after
this chair found a home in the master closet
leftover from many houses
functional but dull and boring
so i picked a pretty turquoise linen
shortened and box pleated the skirt
my son-in-law john painted the legs navy they were a pickled white (very 70's)
still in my master closet but would be proud to be seen in any room
this chair sits at my vanity
i still loved everything about it
but wanted to try a bold print
she is a very sweet chair and will be used for many more years
there are 2 of these chairs in my office
who doesn't love chevron right now
and the nail head detail in a scallop adds an unexpected surprise
they welcome friends to sit and stay a while
one of the projects i did at allison's home
made a new slipcover for her desk chair
allison wanted a simpler more modern look
i took apart the old slipcover and used it as a pattern
the project took less then an hour
oilcloth in a pretty pattern and color

What am I going to do on this extra day in February?
ReplyDelete-Well, I started the day by driving in near white-out conditions to work. Lovely. I just got done taking my son Hudson to his 9 month well-baby check-up. He was born at 28 weeks, weighing 2 lbs 5 oz and he weighed in today at 17 lbs 5 oz! He has come so far! We are now cuddled up in his room playing. :)
I LOVE you quilts, so gorgeous! I love reading you blog and Sarah's blog. :) Decorating is my passion. I live in Iowa, but my husband is from Newfoundland. I can't wait to visit Canada this next year. :)
My day started with MOHs surgery to remove a cancer from my face and will end with PT for my recently replaced left knee, but in between I am having a bike ride and sunny outdoor lunch with a new friend. I found your blog on Pinterest on a link to the reupholstered office chair. I have bookmarked the blog and look forward to keeping in touch. Good design is a bright spot in every day.
ReplyDeleteI know they say that Leap Day is a day where anything you do doesn't matter, but I'm trying out the opposite approach. I'm spending the day (with a few breaks to read blogs, clearly!) looking for a new job. A new start. A new adventure. Fingers crossed...
ReplyDeleteThis extra day of February has brought me a very proud mom moment...I had my sons conference at school and he is doind amazing. You can read about it on my site =) Happy Leap Day
ReplyDeleteMy 2 little girls and I have been playing and enjoying the extra day. We even had a surprise visit from Daddy who brought lunch! :) Hurray for extra days!
ReplyDeleteI had someone watch my baby twins so I can take my 3 year old to the pool. I am hoping we can all nap!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here, so we're turning today into our Friday night movie night and keeping warm with some gooey chocolate chip cookies!
ReplyDeleteThose chair makeovers are beautiful!! I love the lowback chair for your vanity, amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteI did just a bit of the usual Wednesday stuff, played with the kiddos, wrote, & took pictures. I also cleaned out my sewing drawer and craft room, a nice fresh accomplishment. :) All the best!
My extra day was spent with my 4 year old and newborn sweet baby boy. I love all the little moments spent with them. I especially enjoyed my little girl singing "you are my sunshine" to her brother because he was crying.
ReplyDeleteLove all your quiilts, they are just beautiful.
Spend extra time with my hubby and baby girl before my husband begins boot camp on Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe extra day today was spent with my kids (2 years old and 8 months)...the passport office (which for some reason we got through incredibly faster than the rest of the people waiting!), costco and a nice family walk as my husband came home from work early. Now both kids are in bed, so "me" time and watching Revenge!
ReplyDeleteA dear friend was in a tough situation so I took her kids for the day- it was a fun filled, VERY noisy and messy day :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to fight morning sickness and play outside with my little one!
ReplyDeleteSpent extra time snuggling, playing Nd giggling with my daughter thanks to a visit from my in laws who took care of my twin boys
