I Can’t Believe I’m Doing This

Pin It

Ok.

So as I peruse through Pinterest, I start hearing the theme to the vintage children’s story “ The Little Engine that Could” in my head..

I think I can.. I think I can… I think I can..

Why?

Well, you know.. I look at all these REALLY cool projects that some REALLY talented ladies are doing and I start thinking to myself..

I think I can.. I think I can… I think I can..

But, uh oh…

This could be trouble.

IMG_0149Add to the fact that I got this REALLLY SMELLY..

Well, it’s not smelly anymore.. thanks to me wrapping it in newspaper to absorb said smelliness..

this WHAT COULD BE REALLY cute Wing Back chair.. which is also a RECLINER

(which is the one reason my dear hubby even let me bring said smelliness into the house.. so he could eventually RECLINE in said chair)

at our local thrift store for a mere $20

Can someone say “DEALIO”.. I think so..

( and yes, it has a seat cushion but that was the source of said smelliness, so the foam was quickly throw out and cover washed)

 

Phew.. that was a LONG run on sentence…

But anyhoo..

Because I saw this on Pinterest..

I’m thinking I CAN DO THIS..

So, the destruction has begun..

(ignore that YUCKY stain.. ugh.. that piece will be removed later this afternoon.. once I find my latex gloves and face mask..LOL)

And thanks to Jo Ann Fabric’s Labor Day Sale this weekend.. I’ll be out purchasing the fabric and other necessities I’ll need..

Than OPERATION PUT BACK TOGETHER will start.

So what do you think?

Am I crazy for trying??

I’ll be sure to post, what will be called INFAMOUS AFTER pictures, as soon as I’m done. LOL.

  5. I could certainly relate to the enthusiasm, especially after seeing the many awesome end-results of the really artsy crafty mamas out there! I'm actually excited to see how this 'really smelly' wing chair/recliner would turn out!

    ps: hmm... that stain right there got me imagining some not-so-pretty things in my head. lol.
