Jerome pretty much told me to mow the yard this morning and I'm glad he did. Gettin movin early in the morning always leads to a productive day. I finally got the zap I needed to tackle this tacky/awesome chair. It was in pretty disgusting shape when I picked it up.
It literally had boogers under one side!!!! Gag me with a roach!! Remember sayin that? ;)
A quick sanding and settling on this blue paint that's pretty much taken over the interior of my house and it was easy breezy from there. I sat out on the porch to work, listening to my husband talk with the neighbors. Our friend Gillard down the street passed away this week and I listened to each of them expressing their love for him.......
I don't belabor the "design" process and try to make quick decisions. I know if a project goes back into the garage it may never return. That helps me in choosing fabrics and such. It also helps that my house is a pretty haphazard explosion of colors. I can't really make it any more tacky than it already is up in this place.........
So here's what we turned out.
A tacky southwestern themed queen chair turned into a tacky southwestern themed chair of another color.
Like turning squash into zucchini......
Love it Laura!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sit too comfortably, John. But I love it, too! :)
DeleteI hope you dug a deep hole for the hombre you had to kill to upholster the chair :)
ReplyDeleteYou know how in old hair salon's they had those chairs with the big dome hair dryers? You need to put an arm on the back of the chair like that but with a sombrero on it.
Please note the previous smiley face, I don't want you to think I'm making fun of you in a bad way :D There's one more for good measure!
ha ha! Funny enough, Dex, I actually bought this blanket at an estate sale after one of my neighbor's passed. So it did require a death to be obtained. That was pretty morbid but I mean it in the lightest way possible ;) When I pressed my husband if he liked it he said "It's weird but it's no weirder than anything else you have so it's ok"......
DeleteOoh, maybe I'm psychic! "No weirder than anything else" is an absolute ringing endorsement if I ever heard one.
Delete"It's weird but it's no weirder than anything else you have..." How many times have I heard that from Jenn I wonder? Awesome chair by the way.
ReplyDeleteIt's important that we marry someone who keeps us in check. Can you imagine what state our homes would be in if we were both so inclined to throw "weird" stuff around?...... Wait....... It sounds pretty cool...... ;)
DeleteWhen u get sick of it the patch work would be cool
