ahemmm...look what i did today...(blush)


first things first...this IS NOT a how-to post.
because i have no idea how to do this......
i have two of these old sturdy chairs.
the cat has been the only one enjoying them.
they've been stored away until i figured out what
to do with them.
well...i stripped one of them.



i had bought this red corduroy  about 4 years ago.
i just went for it.
staple gun in hand.


i just kept stretching and folding and stapling.


i am so sure that this is not the right way to
cover a button....but never forget
that a glue gun can be your best friend.


i love how the back turned out.
it was the main reason i kept putting
this job on hold.


with the curved back it made things tricky.
so i just made it work.


so there you go...
it needs a good steam and some paint
for the legs.
but i love how it turned out.





***hi link friends...thank you for poppin by!

It looks great leanne! I love the red, and I would repaint the legs black, it looks pretty nice with the black.
