So when my friend Meg suggested a little DIY "crafting" project, I thought "Fun! It'll keep me busy over break." Well, needless to say, that little "crafting" project turned out to be the single hardest DIY job on the market: REUPHOLSTERY.
So after considering my options (eating bon-bons on the sofa, Harry Potter marathon, going to the gym, etc.) I decided we should tackle the project head on.
Here are a few pictures of the demolition portion of the project (as far as I have gotten). It was tedious work and my hands are all sorts of cut up, but it helped to have a killer playlist. I'd like to share the playlist with you just in case you ever have the chance at some good demo work- this list will not disappoint. (Although it may have slowed me down just a bit when I felt the need to use my phillips head as a microphone and go on a singing tangent or two....yes that's right....I AM the champion..)
There's a little new a little old. Here it is:

Here are some of the pictures of the chair. I'll be sure to follow up with a post when its finished....as soon as I figure out HOW that is going to happen....
I stand firm in believing that this will be a great DIY adventure once its done :)
ReplyDeleteUm yeah, working on my own chair reupholstery project right now... feel your pain. My hands looks like yours + blisters from painting the ENTIRE apartment.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I am looking forward to the standard x-acto blade cuts?
When was the last time you got a tetanus shot? HAHAHAHA!!! We miss you!!!
ReplyDeleteyessss!! a fab playlist. we need to start emailing each other songs again. i rage to little lion man everyday at work when i can't take the chatter around me anymore. can't wait to see the finished product!!
ReplyDeleteoh my...I am about to embark on this Saturday :/ will be thinking of you ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I have to say I seriously did ask myself when my last tetanus shot was. Luckily, I'm in the clear....let's hope. Lee and Anna, good luck with your projects- I hope yours turns out easier than mine!
ReplyDeleteDana- Let's get back on the music sharing train. I'll email you soon with some great tunes (although come to think of it, they are mostly on my playlist...)
Meg- We will see. I blame you. Haha just kidding :)
