Chair Love

In the middle of a busy day, I suddenly got the urge. I couldn't stand it anymore, I had to do it right away! I recovered this chair quite a few years ago with a pretty, Cream Roses print, which at the time, I absolutely loved. {I have a thing for chairs, always picking up strays here and there, but that's for another post, at another time}

There really was nothing wrong with this chair the way it was, except, I don't know, I looked around the living room this week and just...well, hated it! Do you ever have that? When it looked perfectly wonderful the day before, but then, yikes....all of a sudden you feel that little "un satisfied" monster appearing? When you know you want to change a few things? And your budget is kind of at 0.00?

So here was the chair, thinking to itself it was pretty cool, probably. Everyone else thought it was cute. Mr. FgH, poor guy, said "huh? What's wrong with it? It's just fine." {the kiss of death, as far as I'm concerned...just fine? not what I had in mind, at all. And a sure~fire way to make me want to change it}

So I looked at my fabric stash, and found a half of an antique French Grainsack. perfect! I put a little pillow form underneath, got out my trusty staple gun, and about ten minutes later, it was love at first sight, again. {"Kitty" our cat, being the most nosy cat in the universe, had to come see it right away. After putting the chair back in its regular place, he promptly jumped up, and fell asleep on the "new" chair.}

I bought some White flowers, re arranged some stuff on the coffee table, and thank goodness, all is well. for now. What do you do to change your home around when you aren't feeling happy about the way it looks? Let me know....I'm always interested in your ideas!
