so excited!

I dropped my antique chair off at the upholstery guy's house this morning! I then headed to the fabric store and picked out a nice charcoal faux suede material and "antique pewter" nail head trim to finish it off. Sadly it will take up to 3-4 weeks to get it home again because the upholsterer is swamped. :(

BUT...

I am in the beginning of recovering my french chair and ottoman. I found some nice neutral fabric on sale today that kind of reminds me of grain sack.  I gave the chair a new coat of creamy paint to cover my "aged look" since it looked so horrid with my new rug.  My mom is in town and she is doing the sewing on the cushions for me. I have borrowed an air compressor, my stapler came in and I found a local place that sells the 22 gauge staples I need so I am good to go!

I am happy to be knocking these projects off my list.
It is a good day :)
