I have finished my chair! It turned out to be a bit of an undertaking, but I followed this simple tutorial from creative maven and it turned out great. The cushion was tough, but I made it work.  It is definitely not perfect, it’s actually a bit puckery.  But oh well, it holds your ass.  I want to paint the legs at some point.  I probably should have done that first…oops.

I chose an avocado green chenille for the fabric. I think it goes really well with the other furniture in our living room, which is where it lives now.  It actually serves the very noble purpose of hiding our rediculously oversized subwoofer.  It is successfully doing the job of not letting our living room look like an electronics lover’s paradise.

I feel like the corner needs something else to round it out and make it look put together and finished.  However, that’s another project for another day though.

I have some great plans for this chair. I acquired it from a friend and can’t wait to recover it. Once it is finished it will live in the corner of our living room that has been rather vacant since moving into our house almost a year ago.

I finally finished the curtains for our bedroom!  YEAH!!!!  I did them in a really pretty blue shimmery silk.  (I know they look green in the photos, but they’re not.)

I think they look great against the creamy chocolate brown of our walls.

Oh, and above the bed I framed the pretty crocheted name thingy that was a wedding present from a family friend.   I think it looks really good on the dark mat and framed with our standard black frame.

I did the curtains in a couple of hours yesterday.  They turned out the same length and everything!  I feel pretty good about them and I know my mom’s proud.
