And now the chair

So this is what we started with.  $7.50 at Salvation Army and totally stuck in the 70's.

After some paint we were getting there.

Next I had the tackle the cushion (this is SCARY to me).

This was my first attempt at sewing a cushion.

Funny thing...apparently I gave myself waaay too much seam allowance

and the cushion turned out a bit bigger (okay a freaking lot) than the old one

So what's a girl to do...start over (never)...nope I just stuffed that puppy

with more foam inserts and poly fill until I could stuff no more, then sewed it shut

and called it a night.  It's a bit puffier than the old one, but you know what

it's comfy as all get out!

The best thing - my husband looked at the cushion and actually said "wow, I'm impressed

how did you know how to do that?"

Thanks honey!
