This furniture walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.

Now that my little munchkin is around, I have needed to rethink my creative process. It all has to be done within 45 minute periods, or be able to wait, until the next nap. It also has to be low-cost. And guess what, spray paint fills the bill for both needs. It is fast, drys in 45 minutes, is low-cost and gives is a fun quick change. 

I got two free chairs from my internship that had been crushed in shipping. Justin and I nailed and glued them back together! I wouldn’t say they are well fitted… In fact. I really think they are a bit disproportionate, but I fixed one on Tuesday. I did it in about 3 naps and it looks 100 % better. In my opinion! What do you think?

It cost only 2.96 for spray paint.

The fabric was a sample from Decorators Walk, that I got in college.    Here is the Before: (technically the chair isn’t even really wood, it is that foam junk that is painted to look like wood) After: Painted Black and recovered. I like the chair best with a pillow because the back is too big for the size of the base.  Not everything is better clearly-sized, especially furniture it loses it’s proper scale and balance that way.    Love it or hate it? Let me know!
