Got the redecorating itch

I got the itch to reclaim something. But man it almost always ends up being a shitton more work than I anticipated and I guess that's why the hubs rolled his eyes when I begged him "please go with me to Joann's and home depot" he's all "what are we doing?? //scare face//"

Oh just a little project I've been wanting to do. You know the table and chairs my mom bought for 50$ cause it was so much nicer than our cheap ass ikea table and chairs...(balsa wood weighs NOTHING) the table and chairs was in great condition. I'm refusing to buy expensive furniture till our kids know to respect it.

All I wanted to do was paint the chairs black and cover the seats (wood is not comfy, y'all) so after an hour in Joanns deciding on fabric and foam and I had to find paint for another project (post about that to come) I promised him I would do all the work. All I asked of him was watching the boys.

Haha. Oliver napped for the first hour of the sanding. I got 1 out of 5 chairs done. I finally came up and asked if he would come help and Carson can play with chalk on the side walk. That lasted maybe 30 minutes.

Finally I retreated to the house leaving poor Chris with my project. I'm trying not I think how bad his back must hurt right now, mine hurts pretty fucking bad.

Anyway, here are some picture

Amazing husband painting away

In the kitchen waiting for friends

Chairs look awesome at the table, but now the table looks funny....Husband was not amused that I wasn't completely satisfied by my projecting 

I think the next house project I'm going to work on is renovating this boring kind of dumpy (amazing thrifting) find. Its this velvet chair that my mom and I found while we were out randomly thrift shopping. It was a total score at only 5$.

Here is a quick sneak peak, but just a little exciting look to the future, I'm planning on doing the Pinterest upholstery painting. I'm going to do the fabric in Teal with white feet and an orange throw pillow
