Julia's Chair

So I have been slowly redoing each of the kid's rooms. Sadly, I started Julia's room over a year ago and it is still not complete. I suppose it's a lot like my life - a work in progress. I have made a bed skirt, pillow and a goblet pleat balloon shade. I have also painted a name painting for her wall and with my husbands help (OK he did most of it) repainted her armoire and night stand. So one of the projects I am currently working on is a chair for her room. I found an adorable chair at a thrift store for $12.00. I have never seen a more perfect deal. The chair itself isn't perfect but it has a cute shape and seems to be sturdy enough. My plans are to paint, reupholster, and then slipcover this little beauty. It is mostly wood with a cane back. Tomorrow if I can figure out how I will post pictures of the before and what I have accomplished so far. Wish me luck, I'll need it!

Just Starting Out

Well, I am dipping my toes into this wonderful world of blogging. I am not sure how much I will have to offer but I am excited to document my projects. I will also share the life that I have with my wonderfully flawed family. My husband John and I have four fun and crazy children: Jack, Julia, Josh and James. Yes, we are one of "those" families who all have names that start with the same initial. Let's see were this roller coaster of life leads us.
