getting back on the horse.

after my miserable fail at covering an ugly chair, i was more than a little reluctant to try to cover another chair. in fact i thought i was crazy. super crazy. but i knew if i didn't try, i would be worried about failing again forever. so i tackled another chair. this chair:

this started because i painted that little white table black. then i didn't like the red pillow with it. so i covered the pillow. then the chair looked too gold-y red, so now i needed to cover the chair. sheesh. little did i know painting that little table would cause this huge decor-chain-of-reaction. so, like a good little decorator who sees colors clashing, i had to solve the problem. cheaply. so i took white fabric i had (please don't cringe when i say that it used to be a table cloth!!) and some decorative nail heads (my new bffs) and that's all i needed! (plus some scissors... but i mean.. that's obvious, right?) and here she sits in all her glory in my little baby "sunroom" :

otis the cat loves her too



oh my. i think she's lovely : ) sure she's not perfect but who is? and guess how much this cost me? $1.75 for the nails. yep. not. too. shabby. : ) thank goodness i got back on the horse!

**i am linking this up with the shabby nest's frugal friday because well, i got almost a new chair for less than $2!!
