One Scrappy Little Chair

I bought this simple wing chair at a garage sale

for a mere ten dollas

Having never upholstered a chair before I found my heels dragging in a most annoying way.  

I usually dive right in, but the thought of taking this chair apart then and putting it all back together had me stymied.

So this little chair just sat, and sat, and

 sat in the garage, 

in the way, in my face,

every time I went in there, ugh

Stop looking at me little chair

Until finally, one day when I was not much good

 for anything mentally strenuous, 

I decided to go for it and dive right in.

  After all, this chair only cost ten dollars.

  What was the worst that could happen?

I found the whole process kind of interesting.

  Who knew that's how a chair is made.

     With a bunch of staples and cardboard?

Kind of cool, huh

Now, I'm fairly certain that a chair of 

higher quality probably doesn't contain as much cardboard...

shhh, I won't tell if you don't

for my use this will do just fine

I decided I was just going to have fun with it. 

 Not much planning went on and it really was fun

 (after I removed the hundreds of staples).    

 I ended up just playing around with scraps of fabric I had leftover from this and that.  I even took my giant roll of jute webbing and cut that up for trim.

I've still got to do some touch-up and you are quite humble...

But I gotta say, I really love you little chair.

We're good together, a little bit imperfect

but, kind of silly and fun

 There's just one thing missing

 A sweet little ottoman

Oh well, let's take a break for today

It's you,

me,

a book, and

and a cup of tea later

Linking up...
