A look into what's been going on around here...

Do you remember this little 'beaut that I picked up outside a private Jewish school this past summer with my friend Amy???
It sat in our apartment for months and months and months while I was waiting for the inspiration to do something with it...



This past weekend, JoAnn's had a President's Day Sale and all their upholstery fabric was 50% off...I found all the inspiration I needed there:
I fell in love with this fabric for a multitude of reasons.  First off, It's a little bit different than what I have going on right now, while incorporating all the colors of our family room.  Secondly, I've been wanting to add in some shades of blues into our home - this does the trick!  Lastly, I fell in love with it because JoAnn's had it there in the store.  I walked up (more like took a number and waited in a really long line) to the cutting desk and they cut away at it.  I went home a happy camper!

This is a little bit of what my chair looks like right now - except for it's looking even more rough now.  All the fabric is off (except for the front of the back) and I've managed to pry off the criss-cross wood design on each leg.  My only regret?  That I didn't pick up two of these free chairs when I had the chance!

I've got an itch and I can't help but scratch it!!!
p.s. I officially hate little staples.
