Earlier this week {uh, yesterday}, I posted about my search for a lyre-back chair and how difficult it’s been. Well, I finally found one on eBay and it’s a TRAINWRECK. Regardless, I bought the stupid chair anyway, because it was 14 bucks and I knew that it was no challenge for the DIY Diva. However, this little baby has a lot of nooks and crannies and I’ve just been dragging my feet about sanding it down. Waaaaaaah.
I also plan to recover the ahem, PLASTIC, cushion with some fabulous fabric that matches my new semi-custom drapes! So what if the fabric has been sitting in the back of my car for at least a month now…wait when did I blog about the drapes? March 3, oh LOVELY.
Now confession here…in addition to keeping the fabric in the back of the car for an eon, I’ve had the chair for like two weeks already. It was NEXT to my desk (where I plan to use it), then it’s been sitting in my living room for a few days where I took it to shoot a photo. I’m so lazy, I would have just left it there until it refinished and recovered itself. I’m so lazy that I NEARLY ignored Melissa’s challenge to us procrastinators…
BUUUUUT, she’s given us two weeks to make our projects sparkle. Two weeks should give me plenty of time. Hey, if I can grow AND kill a garden in two weeks, I should be able to do one lowsy chair, right? (Ironically, Melissa’s doing six — ha ha ha ha!).
Join me for this PROCRASTINATORS PARTY and link up over at The Inspired Room. We’ll tackle our projects together and not allow ourselves to be too lazy!!! And hopefully, in two weeks, I’ll have a beautiful AFTER photo to brag blog about!!!
