Hard to believe it is the second Friday in September already! We will be moving into our apartment very soon. Mark and I are so thankful to have parents that have shared their home with us for these interim weeks while we waited for it to open up! While we have been here, we have, of course, done a bit to help around the house - normal things like dishes, cleaning and yard work. However, last Saturday, Mom and I snuck this little project in.
My mom teaches piano lessons (and has for over twenty years!) She loves
her little "teaching chair." (isn't it darling?? It's called a
"Hepplewhite" chair - one term I DO remember from my interior design
class...) ;) After quite a while of continual use, it needed a little
TLC... as well as a bit more padding...
Ah... much better!!! And so much more comfy too!! There is a slight flaw that we have discovered, however... the chair looks so much better, that Mom doesn't want to sit on it! ;)
Here is part of her studio, complete with recovered "Hepplewhite" chair!
This was a pretty quick project. We didn't take the seat down to bare bones... just took off that nasty vinyl. (which we discovered did actually have some pretty(?) gold swirls on it.) And thanks to the sweet lady at Hobby Lobby who cut a generous sized piece (to make up for the test swatch that was hacked out of the end), the whole project cost less than $15.00. Not too bad! And so pretty too!
What little projects have you snuck in lately? I know we aren't the only ones with a hectic schedule around here! :)
