I woke up this morning in such a great mood. The sun was coming up over the river and the trees in the back yard were glowing. Beautiful! So I grabbed Ben and we went for a walk...all bundled up of course. It was only 30 degrees or so. Tess was busy with a friend who slept over so, after Steve left for golfing, Ben and I went downstairs to work on projects. Ben was doing arts and crafts and I started painting our modular shelving that will one day hold the TV in the living room (pictures to come later).
Then I decided to get started on my 60's Viko Baumritter chair that I purchased on Ebay for $30! I am hoping to get to SR Harris this weekend to pick out fabric. Here is the before picture of the chair. It has a rip in the vinyl seat and the metal legs need some major attention.
It is now in pieces. I will use the old vinyl to make a pattern for the new fabric, will spray paint the legs a nice soft white color and I have already sanded the wood arm rests so they can be stained a nice espresso color. I can't wait to tackle this.
My biggest concern is picking the right fabric and creating the piping for the cover. It has been a long time since I have sewn anything, especially piping for an upholstery project! Wish me luck!
