I’m a little embarrassed to admit that this project has been over a year in the making! Last spring, I found two chairs in an antique store and fell in love with the curve of the backs. So I brought my sweet husband to see them and asked if they could be my Mother’s Day gift. Thankfully he obliged, although he doesn’t quite understand why I get so excited about sheets and chairs instead of roses and chocolates!
Soon after I got them home, I spraypainted them black. And then they sat. And sat. And sat.
It took a conversation with my husband (“Frankly, I don’t even notice the oriental design on the chairs anymore”) for me to get my bum in gear and choose a fabric. I made my inspiration board. I was ready to purchase. So imagine my minor panic attack when the etsy seller had already sold out!
I decided to go with the big guys and to my surprise, the fabric was even on sale!
I’m in love. I love the color. I love the slightly modern design that is still quite complimentary to the rest of my home. I love a finished project. I love it, I love it, I love it! (That’s a nod to Molly Shannon for all you non-SNL addicts!)

Here is a breakdown of what’s left on my to-do list for the living room:
Rip up old carpet and replace with hardwood flooring
Recover chairs with chevron fabric
Make pillows from chevron fabric
Make pillows with floral patterned fabric
Buy mirror for above the fireplace
Purchase map for above the couch and frame with molding
Make console for behind the couch
Decide on new coffee table solution
Find neutral rug
Find two lamps for the console table
Whew…so much more to accomplish! I better get to work!
Have a great weekend!
