New Finished Project!

I was working on t his chair for my sister, I didn't get a before picture sadly, but I got some great after photos. We picked this chair up about a month back from a curb alert of Craigslist. I love curb alerts you never know what you are going to find! Anyway it was a chair, it looked to have been sanded, the chair had a seat sitting on it but it wasn't screwed down in any way it was just loose. The seat was covered with this ugly bright blue fabric with tiny little pink flowers embroidered on it, just ugly. Anyway with this chair there was also a chair with broken arms, I haven't started this one yet, but probably will this weekend. :)

The Chair: Free
The Paint: $1 (Dollar store in Kannapolis)
The Fabric: $4 (Garden Ridge's fabric isle)

Total cost of Reagan's new dressing chair: $5

A closeup of the fabric, it's a very cool baroque kind of look, velvety gray, I couldn't iron this fabric so for a bit until it lays flat there will be a crease. But I think it turned out well.

The Days of a Working Girl

Today I am stuck here until 8, why you ask? Because on Wednesday my legs decided to lock up on me and I had to take the day off so I need the makeup 5 hours so I have the standard 40 on my paycheck. While I am stuck here though Reagan has her hands full with laundry, painting, putting together her room, washing dishes. Trust me there are A LOT of dishes. And Laundry.

I finally have a design idea for  my ugly desk and table top, I'm going to paint the tops yellow make a few bird and bran silhouettes and then stencil them down, then I'm going to paint gray over that. My birds should look awesome! Then I am going to polyeurothane over the whole kit and kabooble. Should look pretty cool. I'll have photos soon. Yesterday we were in the Dollar Store and Reagan found these little what-knots that looked like finials and things like that, well she bought four of them ($4) and took some of her spray paint ($1) and painted them to match her room colors. (Pink and Raspberry) They look really awesome, I'll make her upload a photo here soon or email it to me today so I can show you. I like them!

Anyway I will be back later with some photos for you guys!
