A Little Project

Our mom has been busy working on multiple projects for our humble little abode.  Here is one little project that she did one recent afternoon:

This is one of the six dining chairs our mom bought at a local antique store called "Finders Keepers" (this is our philosophy regarding pacifiers!).
Isn't the seat upholstery so stylish?  Yuck!
Knowing the yucky upholstery just wasn't going to cut it, she set to work on making the chairs look better by doing this:
Because in all of her spare time (we are not time-consuming at all--don't believe the rumors!), she likes to takes what's old, spice it up a little, and put her own eclectic stamp of approval on it.   
Take this and multiply it by 6 and you've got our new dining room chairs.

You need to write a book about time management, fashion, parenting, and home decor. :) It would be a best seller. The chairs look great and as always the girls outdo themselves in looking even cuter than before! Have a great weekend! Hi to Jared! Hope you're not working too hard. Boo to the Packers! Ok. I'm done now. ;) XO
