DIYing


So, mom decided to buy a big ol comfy recliner from an estate sale a few months back so that we would have a nice place to sit and cuddle before bed and nap times. Over the last couple days we have taken over the kitchen to redo this chair:



My mom's friend Reb (www.lifenostalgic.com) inspired us to take on this project. REUPHOLSTER !!





With some staple gunning, a screwdriver and some elbow grease we managed to reupholster the chair and complete our first project together. I made myself useful by taking long naps, yelling instructions from my blanket, and eating Cheerios. 

Here is what it looks like now:


I am a bit sad in this picture, but the chair seems quite happy with it's facelift.

Love, Felix

    Wow, Felix! I am so proud of you. This looks like an epic project, with so many lumps to negotiate. I may call upon you the next time we need to upgrade a sofa.
