Before....
I ripped the skirt off and painted the legs to go better with the fabric. Oh how I love the end result!!
After...
Soo....Whats next you say? Well, I picked up this lovely pair of chairs. I think they have been under plastic their entire existence!! I love LOVE these chairs! The second I got them home and really sat in them I about died! They are soo comfortable! Not to mention...they rock and swivel! I have not decided what to do with them yet. I am open to opinions...
Umm... for this next one, all I want to do is punch it in the face!!! If it had one... Every time I look at it I feel like I just became a little dumber. It is an inspiration sucker! I got it for $5 and I feel as though I got ripped off! My plans were to slipcover it up, but I just hate it soo much. It is definitely a challenge and not because of the work involved, but because I truly hate it! I could always reupholster it, you never know, it may feel good to just rip it apart...It is heavy, needs all the legs replace and needs to stop getting hit by the ugly stick!!! I am sure I will figure out what to do with it, but until then it will sit in the deepest, darkest part of the sweat shop until I feel it can come out of time out!
Also, one of my best friends, who happens to be an amazing horse trainer has asked me to make her a set of stall drapes. I know, your probably thinking, "What the crap!!?? Drapes for a horse stall?" But no, you see, before I became a loving mother of 2, I rode and showed horses. Now when you travel to shows, you always need an extra stall next to your horses to put all your stuff in and then hang stall drapes up to represent your barn or trainer. Well, she wants to bust out of the norm!!! I am soo excited to make them for her. They are usually super boring and blahh! For example...
I love how they took this picture on a set and not at an actual barn... anyways we are planning on trading the labor for training. I got back into the horse world when I was almost ready to pop with my last child (2 yrs ago) and now she is 3 and I have started to break her. She is awesome!!! I am so excited to show her next year. She is gonna be amazing and I am a little giddy about her potential. Here is a pic I took of her a month or so ago when I was almost warm enough to be spring.....
Beautiful horse! She looks like she's itching to go for a ride. - I am very envious as I am a horseless rider and remember riding during the spring when everything is fresh and wet and warm. So much fun.
