DIY Project ONE

In an attempt to satisfy this "decorating" frenzy I am on the verge of, I decided to take on a simple task that didn't cost much money. DIY (Do it yourself) is used a lot now days but for some reason every time I go to say it I always say DYI. After some of my DIY project messes I feel that DYI is good advice for me to consider before starting any DIY project. I have affectionately given DYI the phrase "Don't, You Idiot". The definition for stupid is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I do this often, particularly with my decor projects. So instead of starting full swing with paint and such I wisely chose a small project that, if went well, could be completed while the girls were taking their afternoon nap. Recovering the kitchen chairs was the task of the hour.


I had bought fabric from Wal-mart for $2.00 a yard a couple years ago. But the project just hadn't gotten done. It was very simple to do this with the scissors and a staple gun. I am happy to report this project was a successful DIY project and I still had time for a quick pick up and the weeks ironing before the girls woke up.

I was happy with the outcome of the project which is both good and bad. Good because well it is good to be happy with the finished project product but this could be bad because I fear it has only fueled the flamed for my decorating desires! :)

Have a great day!
