Believe it or not, I was going to start it tonight. But I thought how silly to stress myself out over the holidays. I mean Christmas is in 3 more days and I have a ton of things to do yet. OK...maybe it was my husband who said "Are you crazy?" I thought for a moment and said " maybe I am" (insert big crazy laugh here!!!) and remembered that I am the impulsive one in the family and sometimes he keeps me grounded......this time;)
As I was saying, it needs only cosmetic work. The bones of it are great. I am going to redo it in dark chocolate and cream colors because I think it will look pretty juxtaposing the white slipcovered sofa. Then I will add some pretty white pillows to bring it all together.
It is very old, filled with excelsior and is very prickly.
(Wish me luck, I might sneak in at least ripping the fabric off tomorrow. He'll never know;)
Do you have any projects planned for 2010 yet? Or am I just jumping the gun here:) I'd love to hear.
'Till next time......

I'd been daydreaming of some reupholstery, too. But then the big snowstorm hit and the tree fell down and now I must repair the garden fence and gate first. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteIt's potentially, fabulously, awesomely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to see the makeover :+D
No big project plans here, but you know all it takes is a split second of inspiration.
Just too much going on over here at the moment.
Have fun and be sure to post your w.i.p.
(work in progress)
Happy Day!

Oh My! I admire your energy. I think I am done for the year..except for the cooking and wrapping and dressing for parties......
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful piece. For me I think I would do the chocolate like you said but then redo in heavy drop cloth fabric and plump burlap pillows. NOW who is crazy?
VERY MERRY wishes to you and yours
Suzan

Oh oh! I borrowed your saying for an entry. I just saw that it says I needed permission to use it. It was the unkown author quote I listed MaisonStGermain but did not ask you...Could I use that quote or do you want me to take it down? I just used it as an entry yesterday, but I think I can delete it. I am new to blogging and just did not realize. Hope I did not offend you. You are a sweet friend.
