TA-DA!

I finished these on Wednesday night... I still need to do the cushion's but you get the idea. I was getting anxious to have my front room not look like a workshop -- it's a pretty big room and walking through it was like getting through an obstacle course on Double Dare.

Overall it was a really great experience to do these chairs. I really enjoyed learning a new skill and accomplishing something all by myself from start to finish.  Jon kept saying how impressed he was and surprised at how nice they were actually turning out... I'm really trying to take that as a compliment. I know that's how he intended it =) Next time the only thing I'd do differently is try to pick a more stretchy fabric that has a little "give" to it. Other than that I'm more than happy with the way they've turned out!

Some chocolaty pillows will help tone down the bold print... in case you are overwhelmed.

Next on the to-do list will be painting and window treatments.... oh yeah and finish those baseboards from 5 months ago =) Getting excited to finally have ONE finished room in my home!
