I was able to fit in one last makeover before moving into the shop tomorrow.
Remember this chair that I bought at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago?
It was sturdy and had a pretty shape, but the blonde finish and the blue vinyl seat cover wasn't doing this piece justice. (Nothing against blondes...I am one!) I primed it, painted it in an "oops" blue, sanded and applied an antique glaze. I then recovered the seat in a cream matlasse fabric.
I loooove how this chair turned out. It looks so pretty in so many places in my home, but I'm going to let it go. Such is my life...
I was expecting a very special package today. This morning, my 3 1/2 year old son, who has K-9 hearing, stopped what he was doing and looked up at me with excitement. "There's someone at the door!" I didn't hear anything. "Are you sure?" He went running to the door and came back to report, "There's a box!" Sure enough...there was a box. The box I was waiting for. Had it not been for my son's super-sonic hearing, the box would've sat there for a few hours.
In that box was my new beastly computer. It's big (18.5"), huge (space wise), blazin' fast, and shiny. I've been playing with it all day, which is a nice project, since I'm under the weather and have a big day tomorrow.
I'm off to take a NyQuil and get some good rest.
I'm sharing this post at Friday Fabulousness at Dial M For Minky. Getting a new computer on your doorstep is pretty fabulous.
