Making something old....'new'

So here is one of our Lazy Boy recliners. They are 5 years old. Microfiber (big thing back then) that I will never get again is now worn and from wear and oils from hands and head. They are still in VERY good shape....comfy, sturdy....just ugly! $60 a slip cover.....times 2! I figured I could do something myself for cheaper. So I was only half right. I did do it for cheaper ($25 a chair) but not by myself!

Here is my friend that told me I better not post this picture Daniel took of her....OOPS! (She looks great, doesn't she?) So Terra came over expecting (as did I) a simple 2 hour make over......5 hours later we have.......drum roll please!...............

(Kids got a hold of the camera some more!)



TA! DA! Doesn't it look FABULOUS! I am amazed and Terra's many talents! Now I can add this one to her list! I thought Kevin and I could do the other chair, but when do we have 5 hours together other than Sunday? I might have to bribe her to come back and help me. (I know you read this, Terra....so prepare yourself with an excuse!) :-)

I want to be more hands on this time so I can do it in the future. I made the mistake of throwing 2 pressure cookers of beans on to can during all this. So I kept jumping up and checking the psi!

THANKS TERRA! You are an angel! We LOVE it!
