This has been a really exhausting but fun weekend so far. Friday Barrett and I went out to dinner at the deli and then bought Guitar Hero World Tour for ourselves. We then played it all evening until his parents arrived around 11:00 pm. Today Barrett and his dad started building a shed in our backyard. Shortly after lunch Barrett got one of his really bad headaches so his mom and I took his spot and worked on the shed with his dad. We didn't get as much done as we had hoped to but we have the foundation done and 2 walls up.
Before we started helping with the shed Lynda and I went to a fabric store downtown so I could look at upholstery and buy some really cheap fabric. I am attempting to re-upholster our living room chairs and I wanted to get some cheap, crappy fabric to practice with before I bought the expensive stuff. The store also let me bring home some swatches to hold up to my chairs and see what I like. I found some great stuff but I can't decide what looks best and I can't decide if I want to do both chairs the same or not. On Tuesday I'm going to go to a fabric store in Columbus to see if they have anything different. So far I have the back of the chair completely de-upholstered. I'm going to take the upholstery off the rest of the chair tonight and recover it tomorrow. I will post pictures of my finished product then. Hopefully this will work because it will save us approximately $350. That was the estimate I got for a professional to do it, plus the cost of the fabric.
Check back tomorrow to see what the chair looks like. If this works maybe my blog will have to become a DIY blog :)
