A Fabulous New Chair. A Before & After

I've been decorating my 

8 year-old daughter's room since August.

It's been a long process.  

I've got a serious condition called,

Decorating ADD.

I start one project,

see something else that's needs beautification,

and move on to that project without completing the first.

It's a vicious cycle.

I'm trying though.   

Trying to stay focused and follow some projects to the end.

 I'm trying to get some items checked off the list.

This chair was one of the first projects 

which got a little checkmark in the completed column.

I purchased it at my local G.W. (Goodwill)

for less than a Happy Meal at McDonalds.

Some of the furniture pieces in my daughters room are white,

but I wanted a little contrast while still trying to keep the decor youthful. 

My daughter picked out a velour fabric in a deep purple,

then I painted the chair black.  

I have recovered a chair pad before

but this looked like no square chair pad to me. 

 I was just a little scared to attempt the project.

My friend Ana mentioned she had done something like this a time or two, 

so I volunteered her to recover it for me.

Isn't friendship a wonderful thing?

Sure enough,

she knew exactly what to do

 and had this completed in no time.

She did a fabulous job.

So fabulous, 

I haven't stopped volunteering her to come back

 and do more projects.

My daughter's new chair sits in her room and sports a sequined, peace pillow.

A new chair,

for less than 2 Happy Meals?

Now that is Fabulous.

Next up for Ana?

A padded headboard.

Stay tuned,

the girl has got some serious talent.
