One house, two people and a fresh start. How we combined the best of my stuff with the best of his stuff, and filled many of the remaining spaces with Craigslist finds.

Freebie workhorse chairs...
Sometimes a freebie proves itself valuable over and over.
I rescued these 2 chairs that had been discarded in the alley behind my former house years ago, and this is third time I've repainted and recovered them. They've been used in my living room, guest room, office, and now in my craft room. I had recently recovered my bedroom headboard with grey felt and removed the existing green print fabric that was still in perfect condition. I unscrewed the seat cushions and stapled the repurposed headboard fabric over them. Then, it was just a matter of repainting the chair frames white to give them both a fresh look.
What I learned from this project:
1. Not too much since this was the third time I've redone these chairs.
2. But I still had enough fabric left over to make a yoga mat carrier. (Learned how from a tutorial on YouTube)
3. I hate yoga.
