Starting the year off with a new project...

The day before we left town for Christmas I discovered this chair on craigslist.
In the midst of packing chaos, my wonderful husband found time to pick it up for me.  It only took a little bit of convincing.

He's calling it my Christmas present.


I went out and picked up this book a few days later and got a few tips from my Aunt who happens to be an pro at this kind of stuff...



Then I got this for my birthday from my Mom.


Now what have I gotten myself into?  I will soon find out-- and I guess so will you...

  3. I'm so excited to see the results! I saw a chair very similar to that and haven't convinced Shaun that it's a good idea yet - maybe your project will help.

  4. I have no doubts, but that you will turn that chair into something spectacular! Looking forward to seeing the results!

  5. I like it - the chair's got great bones :) Is this one going to end up in your living room?

    ya right, i was just thinking about undertaking such a project myself but i have yet to convince myself. but i just read today on the fabric.com blog about her first upholstery project. she used the "Complete Step by Step Upholstery" by David Sowle. I can't wait to see how it turns out. i LOVE the chair :)
