Simple Computer Chair Redo

Yes, I did, I took a little blogging break.

It wasn't intentional, just caught up in the busyness of family life. 

My girls are leaving for Hawaii next week, 

(I'll tell you a little more about that in my next post). 

Anyway, between getting ready for their trip, holiday fun, cleaning out some closets, 

and the simple joys of summer, I've missed out on visiting my favorite blogs. 

I'll try to get by soon :-)

 Now what does any of that have to do with this funky blue chair?

Last night this was a typical black computer chair, kind of torn in spots 

from so much use. It's been bugging me, but we don't often 

go out and replace a chair that is still pretty useful. 

My daughter brought in some fabric a friend had given to us a while back,

and wondered what she should do with it? (Cleaning out closets, remember). 

I looked at it, looked at my chair, and started playing. 

I do have a staple gun too :)

I wish I'd painted it first, but when you're playing, sometimes things 

are completed before you even think about it. 

 My husband came to my rescue and started stapling 

when my hand got too sore to staple anymore.

This stretchy fabric was perfect for covering the chair, and I can go back 

and do some whip stitching if I decide I want to get rid of the "staple" look.

While I'm showing you this, I guess I'll show you the little hutch in the background.

 Only it isn't a hutch.

It's actually a small bookcase on top of a chest of drawers. 

You probably figured that out already :)

The little crochet runner kind of hides the gap :)

  Lastly, I picked up this little picture at a yard sale this past weekend.

It reminds me of my hubby with our twins, and the two boys 

in the background look like my older boys when they were younger.

The lady selling it was actually the artist, so she told me that she'd 

seen a man down at the beach with his twin boys and it inspired her.

I love it!! Maybe it really is my hubby and our boys :)
