Gossip seat makeover, lazy edition

Happy Memorial Day weekend everybody (Delena). Jerome is sick in bed so it was a bummer morning.But then the boredom inspired me to tackle a project I been putting off because A) I am lazy and B) I am lazy.
Remember this old gossip seat I scored for $5 back when my blog used to be interesting?
Well, it got a super pretty makeover today :) And only because my son completely mangled the seat fabric by makin a once near invisible tear into a work of 3 year old art.
 I didn't put any real thought into this. I just used whatever was on hand as far as durable seat fabric and contact paper. I find that slappin stuff together usually comes out just as nice as when I agonize over details and planning. 

 I wanted to model the chair and Sarah joined me.


 Then both girls insisted I let them "model" some more.....






Not such a waste of a day after all :)
It's very rare that I'm creatively productive even though I identify myself as a creative person.
Anybody else got the same setback?

  1. It looks awesome!!! I can feel you on the being a creative person but rarely actually creating thing. I tend to psych myself out a lot...or I'm just lazy

    1. Gotta be the lazy.... and I don't remember if I commented on your recent paintings, but wow... who knew you had that in you, M1ss Jones?! That fox was gorgeous work.
      And I don't know where my kids learned modeling, perhaps RuPaul.

    1. I am a little worried that Sarah was goin for "seductive". I need to let them watch Zoolander so they can see what true modeling is.... and thanks for inspiring me waaaay back to just paint that vintage treasure ;)

    1. You emerged! ;) Seriously though, Carri, you could do this type of stuff. Re-upholstery and spray painting is simple. Now go and spray paint one item this week in a color that makes you smile (lamp base, picture frame, kitchen chair, etc.) and see how it makes you feel :)

  7. I'm supposed to be a "writer" even though I only ever write my blog these days... But I occasionally crank out a handful of poems for my daughter just in time for her birthday.
