Fresher Friday

I needed an extra chair in the living room and remembered

this one that was in the boys' TV room.  The white paint

was fine. It even has some natural distressing on it. :)

But the fabric on the cushion was sporting some holes

and stains.  So I removed Spencer's stack of train books

that it was holding and got out my girlie tools and 

an old sweater that was in a bag to go to the thrift store.

I removed the seat and the old fabric and cut out the front of the sweater. 

 Fishy was added by Jack, faithful kitty, always willing to help. :)

Then I used my staple gun to attach the fabric to the seat

and my power screw driver to attach the seat back to the chair.

It fits perfectly in this spot and provides an additional

seat in this room if we need it.

Much fresher! And it cost nothing!

The French Market Basket came in from the front porch after

the holidays and is holding some big sugar pine cones.

I'm enjoying the way this corner looks!

I have to tell you, though, that when the boys came home from 

school, Spencer immediately noticed the chair and tossed the

pillow to the floor and whisked the chair back down the hall

to hold his stack of train books.

  But mom won and said she had reclaimed the chair. 

 He would have to do without! ha.

So when I wasn't looking, he stole the kitchen stool. :)
