Three years ago I went with my good friend Jo to pick up some material to re-upholster her dining room chairs. This weekend on a visit to Tauranga and we actually did it! (It has been a three year project plan.....)

| Before |
We dismantled the chairs and did the bottoms first with lots of goes at trying to get the corners tidy, lots of little tacks and a good blob of fabric glue.
We also sanded down the highly varnished table and stained it with a Rimu stain

| After |
Very happy with the result :-)
I also heard a new name for WIP's this weekend, UFO (unfinished object) and PHD (projects half done) I like these new names. I do believe that this one had been a UFO.
Oh well, it may have taken a little while but the results are great!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the name PHD - I have a few of those :)
I love PHD too! It took me ages before I figured out what the UFO's my quilting friends kept referring to were :)

ReplyDeleteI have a lot of UFO's and PHD's hiding around the place. I also have a lot of PINS - Projects Ideas Not Started. Love the chairs and the tables.
ReplyDeleteGreat to finally get that job done. I am like Nicola, a lot of PINS. Especially after 2 weeks of s sick family.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I'm sure you could have a go at this olde desk I sit at - :) I have loads of UFO's - more than finished ones! I procrastinate by letting myself see them when I am in the middle of a new project. And well, 'let the chaos begin'... :)
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you both were please to get it all
finished :)
II have so many UFO's I could make an episode of Star Trek (He! He!)
Love the idea of doing opposite sides of the Pacific photo shoots, we really should do a blog post together :)
Have a lovely day, cheers, T. :)
PINS are a great name! I have a book of those lol :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't rang Jo this week to see if they've kept together...
