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?
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
ReplyDeleteGotta 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.
DeleteAnd I don't know where my kids learned modeling, perhaps RuPaul.
Also Sarah's monster of rock face in the last pic is perfect
ReplyDeleteI hear you re: laziness...but every once in awhile I manage to pull out some creative energy and make something fabulous. Your gossip seat makeover looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzy :) We should set a goal to accomplish one creative project a month and blog about it. What say you? ;)
Deleteit turned out so great! and those girls are KILLING ME. especially sarah with the half closed eyes and her hand on her foot.
ReplyDeleteI 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 ;)
DeletePerfect and even better in person. One day with the rest, it too shall be mine;) love ya
ReplyDeleteJerome knows. When I die, you get everything but the kids.
DeleteThis looks amazing!!! Oh my gosh. I wish I had your creative prowess.
ReplyDeleteYou 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 :)
DeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteAnd you blog like nobody's business!
DeleteSo you are indeed, a writer.
