I thought that by now there would be all sorts of fabulousness posted on this blog. Turns out turning crappy looking furniture into wonderfully delicious looking furniture takes a lot of time! So trust me I'm working on it. In the meantime, I've done a great job at not acquiring any more projects. I know me, a garage for of to do's would stress me out beyond belief. I haven't been idle, it's just that spare time is not abundant and what with kids, a business, a husband and a life, it's not always easy to dedicate a ton of time to my new found love. So what have I been up to? Mostly fixing my mistakes. I have this beautiful fabric that I'm redoing one of those ugly headboards in.

I wanted to cover the chair in a different pattern, so I saw a striped fabric I thought would go well, but alas I didn't buy enough of it. I tried to make it work but it looked awful! I didn't really like the way the fabrics looked together anyway and my attempt at adding some shining detail was a HUGE failure. Don't believe me? Take a look at this:

| FAIL!!! Back to the drawing board. |
Mental note: Next time lay off the wine before attempting to hammer anything in a straight line.
Now for the good news. The chair is painted and ready for it's new seat. I love the antique white color.

I decided I'm going to use the same fabric on the chair and the headboard. It just goes so perfectly together. Well shoot, that's not much progress but it's better than nothing!
