We had our garage sale on Friday & Saturday and what we learned was.......not to have a garage sale on a holiday weekend!
We didn't have much traffic, so I am going to try and have one in July. I didn't have much on this garage sale, but the big things we had did sell. A riding lawn mower, a pak-n-play and a high chair that we will no longer need. Our grand babies have out grown them and there doesn't appear to be any more in the future:)
Sunday and Monday we spent with family, having a BBQ and enjoying the beautiful weather.
I couldn't wait to get back to my chair, I worked on it yesterday and finished it today. Well, I finished the body of the chair, I still have the cushion to cover but I need more fabric so I can finish the cushions.
I still have the other chair to do but I was excited to share pictures of the first one.
I learned a lot so the second chair should go a lot easier, or quicker. In any case, I know where the problem areas are now so I know better how to do it.
The process wasn't hard at all, it just took time to pound the tacks in.
The back and arms turned out really well, a little puckering, but I'm not an expert!! I do know why now, I needed more stuffing in the arms, but I had already tacked the fabric down and wasn't able to add more. I have to do the second chair the same way so they match.
I wasn't sure how to finish the back, so I just tacked the burlap around the edges and decided to let the stuffing show in the small areas. I love the look of the really distressed deconstructed chairs, but it just wouldn't match the rest of my decor:) So I'll settle for some exposed stuffing.
So......what do you think of my "Restoration Hardware" chair hack?
I am so very impressed, my girl. Wow; it looks great! And, I don't mind the puckering; it goes with the entire concept, I think. You are amaZIING!
