Me? Finish a project?

I know! It seems impossible that I have actually finished one of the billion projects I have started! I really want to get the music room done, STAT!

Here's another stinky Goodwill chair. I love these types of chairs because they are so easy to do! No major upholstery jobs here, hallelujah! I bought it on 50% off day a while back, and I think I paid $4.00 or something.

The cushion was peach stained velvet and it was stank-kay. First item of business was to detach the seat! (Yes, that is a flattering pose Julia).

The paint was some sort of really thick veneer, so I used my new BFF to smooth it down and then I spray painted it black.

Oh sander, I love you!! While the paint was drying, I attacked the seat. Here are the tools of the seat dissecting trade. I also used scissors because it was quite stubborn!

One the nastiness was removed, I traced the cushion on foam. I found the best foam place ever! I think I used like $2.00 worth of foam here. SOO cheap for foam!

I attached the foam to the seat using that natual bamboo batting stuff. I don't know what it is called. But it works! Then I stapled my pink fabric to it. I made the mistake of covering up the nail holes to screw it back in. DER! So I ripped it off and stapled the pink fabric again...

The corners are always tricky. I try new methods all the time. This fabric was super thick and not very nice to me, so I did the ol' corneroo.

Staple staple staple. Scream when the staples come out. Staple. Staple. Flip!

Yay! A cushion! I had to contemplate whether or not I would cover the rattan back with more pink. I decided that even though I am in love with pink, it would be WAY too much pink. And like I said before, the fabric was probably too thick for this job. So I decided to put the nail heads around the seat cushion instead.

I bought the individual nail heads because I wanted silver, so I used my trusty mallet (also known as mallard in the Skousen home. Quack quack) to tap them in. I hit my fingers 500,000 times, FYI. It's much harder to get straight, but I think once you figure out a pattern they are way better than the trim you can buy. Anyways, after that I screwed the seat back in.

And it's done! See, I told you it was easy :)

It fits in nicely with it's new curtain friends in the music room! And I am happy to have a cute seat to rest my boo-tay.

A little before and after for you. I wish we all had smellivision, because then you'd be REALLY happy! :) On to the next project!
