Bonjour!!!
{ running around like crazy!! }
I’ve been a bit busy with my 2012 Project Harmony work, and before I knew it some days had passed without updating the blog!! Apologies for that… but I’ve made great progress recently!
After revamping my desk area, I started tackling my closets, which is no small feat. But until I find a few last things to finish the closets, I’ve tabled them for now… Instead, I’ve moved on to a project that I started a while back. A couple months ago, I found a great article about saving a drab desk chair from becoming a curbside tragedy. I knew I had to do something with my own horrible black boring desk chair, and so the day after Thanksgiving I found a great fabric, and this past weekend my better half and I performed minor surgery – and voila! We are sooo happy with the results!!

The desk chair will also now be invited to come out when visitors are over!!
It was definitely a project that required two people, just to make sure the reupholstery fabric was taut. It was also very helpful to have a handyman to take the chair apart and put it back together afterwards. Removing the original fabric was very tedious – there were lots of staples holding it on, so removing them all was impossible. But be sure to use a canvas or upholstery fabric so that it is strong enough to handle the staples and tight pull.

- { absolutely necessary: staple gun and hot glue gun }
- { seat }
After we finished the project, we realized we were bitten by the reupholstery bug – we can’t wait to find our next chair needing a facelift!!
Well I still have a couple weeks left in the 2012 PH, and I will have a couple more updates in the next couple of days to share with you.
How are your 2012 home improvement projects progressing? I would love to hear about your projects – help me keep up my motivation for these last two weeks!! 😉
Until the next progress report – continue living la belle vie, my lovelies!

Beautiful job on the chair. I am wanting to do the same. Would you recall how many yards of fabric you used?
