Pink Chair No More

It has been along time since I've done any real good projects, I really tried to make the summer fun for the boys so we spent a lot of time together doing summer stuff.  But now that school is back on and my baby has started pre-k I had to keep myself busy with some much needed updates.  

Way back at the start of my blog I had picked up a very rough "free" chair off Craigslist and boy did it need some work but I needed something inexpensive to experiment on and I liked the results.....

                                   

But after painting my living room and purchasing some new end tables and a rug and rearranging I felt the pink girl had had her day and I had just planned on scrapping her and getting something new but my husband being cheap and me trying to save for a new car decided to give her new life and so I picked up my spray can and stapler yet again and let the old girl "sparkle".....

             

I had some gold paint sitting in the garage just needing to be used and since I had gotten a new rug I thought I'd make good use out of my old cowhide and well I like it!   I wanted something a little more grown up and neutral and this is what I ended up with.....what do you think?

I also had to transform my yellow star......

Levi and I thought after all our hard work through the years the living room deserved a gold star so that is exactly what we gave it!.....

                                             

What an awesome helper!

 Until next time, happy blogging!
