I have a thing……for chairs.

 Way too many chair projects, not enough time and nowhere to put them even if I would refinish them all. I mentioned before Ted can’t even park in the garage anymore! I just started my thrifting journey in the last year or so and have tons to learn about finding the right pieces to actually make pretty again, so since I don’t know what I am actually supposed to be hunting for, I just keep bringing them home! I dream of spotting just the right fabric and making over all of these chairs to sit in a room of our house and look pretty (with the perfect pillow placed on its seat, too, of course). I can handle a basic staple gun and fabric project, but haven’t attempted anything past that yet. I recently started searching for an upholstery class in our area so I can do the real thing. There are tons of tutorials on Pinterest, but I think I want more comprehensive schooling before I try to DIY anything beyond the complexity level of my black & white striped chairs.

The most recent chair I picked up is a cane chair with a tufted back and I think I totally nailed my inspiration to get working on it! Did I mention I found this little guy for $3.99?

Aren’t those fantastic?! Maria of Our Lake Life blog did a beautiful job and I can only hope my chair turns out similarly. I wish I had a pair of chairs, but still think I can eventually turn it into a pretty piece.

That is it for today, but tomorrow I will be back with a little Thanksgiving décor project so please come back to visit!
