Ziggity Zag

One of my many new years resolution's was to teach myself to upholster.

.

disregard the feet... they look like they are waiting on the flood... literally.

.

and no... the painting is still not quite like I want it. maybe next week when we are out of school.

My mom gave me this chair when we moved into our home. I knew it had tons of potential but it was one of those way way down on the to do list.

.

Unfortunately I did not document this adventure.. (i know i know i should have) but there were alot of bruises, hang nails, curse words,  bummed fingers you know the usual when you are learning something new...

.

I did however get to borrow my friends staple gun to adhere the new fabric!! yahoo!!

.

Did I mention it took me 2 weeks to get the old fabric off?? far too long. 

notice my cute little side table??

.

I found out about her through Three Men and a Lady

.

She found this table at Kohl's Who would have thought??

isn't her room to die for??

I loaded the top of the table with only some of my fave's.

the elle mag a friend got me on her trip to paris. thanks kara!

and that candle is HEAVEN, its volcano from anthropologie.

Update:

Since taking this picture in early march,(yes I am that behind in blogging) the chair has found it's permenant perfect home at the foot of my bed. Can't wait to show you!
