The second project was a chair fixer-upper.
I found this chair on the side of the road.
i liked the legs so i put it in the backseat and drove it home.I removed some rust and spray painted it with RUSTOLEUM paint. It prevents rust from reappearing.
It sat outside for five months before I ran into the PERFECT fabric, at Wal-Mart of all places.UPDATE: I have gotten a few comments about the beautiful fabric... Walmart, I know! It was only $3.00 a yard!!! I have looked for it ever since and I have NEVER seen it again :( I kick myself for not buying more.
So mom and I headed to the store to buy plywood, batting, and staples to finish it. We are so proud of our little chair that serves no purpose! Here is the finished project.
The third project was inspired by a hotel in San Antonio.
After looking all over, the best price I got were these from West Elm. 3 for $44.oo
So I decided to try my own. We took a 4X4 and cut it into blocks, stained them, put picture hangers on the back and put them up.
We ended up with 12 for $14.75.
They came out looking pretty close and with a little more character.
We added candle holders and candles and put them in our dinning room.
I love the way they turned out and even Neil likes them!
Our last project was a footstool for our new rocking chairs.
We found the stool at a garage sale for $5 and recovered it with burlap.
Burlap is a good outdoor fabric and we stenciled our address on it for a little personality.
There is not much to it so here is the final edition.

What I didn't take pictures of was the Hobby Lobby trips with Diane and Mom. They went shopping for her daughters wedding flowers, they came home, and made three bridesmaids bouquets, a maid of honor bouquet, a throw away bouquet, and a bride bouquet! And mom cleaned my windows!
Needless to say, it was a very busy week but I was so glad to be so productive!
Thanks Mom, I had lots of fun!
