to stop the fighting

my children are constantly fighting over who gets what bar stool. i don't understand since they are all pretty much the same, the typical wood, natural color. i think they must see something i don't. so, i let them each pick out their own color, and i added each ones number, in hopes that this would make my life easier. here is the result.

 

 just ignore the booties, they could not wait to sit down.

fyi: the fighting did not stop.

two, wants them in numerical order, while one, doesn't want to sit

by two. i give up!

on that note

i think this has to be one of my favorites so far. i could see it in my own home.

I Love Free

Look what I got for free at a garage sale. This awesome playground.

Gotta love it.

Black Beauty

here is the before of my first baby grand. i had some better pictures, to show the rough condition this guy was in, but my computer caught an unfortunate virus.

before (check the bench out in the back)

two more rungs were added so baskets could be placed on the bottom, of

the newly upholstered bench.

wood appliques were added to give some dimension to the bland piano.

.

 the book holder before was just a large rectangle. my sweet dad shaped it to match the lines of the appliques. i think it came out quite lovely.

a little blue

so i have been wanting to keep learning more about re-upholstering, so any project i can find i jump on it.
i found a cute little three legged chair at a sale, i checked it out, as if i were going to potential marry this chair. it seemed do able. i was most worried about the surgical procedure of getting that fourth leg back on. so i loaded him up and he joined our home. here is his pre-op pictures.

the front left leg, was the re-attached limb.

post -op (even though he is now blue, it is a happy blue)

this guy found a new home, with a lovely lady who fell in love at first site.
