A place to sit.

This may be the smallest DIY project ever, but it's my first shot at anything not involving a scrapbook or construction paper so I'm pretty proud of it.

Back when my bff (the super cool lady of She knows this much is true, and treble and lace {she's always been an over acheiver ;) }) and I were roomies in college she found these dining room chairs at a garage sale for something ridiculously cheap like $5.

You can't really tell (because I like to use my ipod to take pictures, when really I should just use my camera) but the seat cushion is corduroy and pretty gross. We didn't use them a whole lot so we never bothered to recover them. When we finished college she didn't have a use for them so I got them when I moved into my first studio apartment (where I hardly used them, so I didn't bother to recover them). Yesterday I realized that with the limited seating I currently have in my living room, these chairs would be great to use when more than 3 people would like to sit down. I borrowed a staple gun from my aunt, used an old tapestry I bought to use as a slipcover for my couch and went to work. This is the result. 

I thought about spray paint, but the bronzed metal actually goes pretty well with the fabric so I nixed that idea and shall leave them as is. This would be a minuscule project for most people, but it's an accomplishment for me and I am a little bit more proud of them than I should be. 

In way more exciting news: I'm getting INTERNET tomorrow! For some reason I found it incredibly hard to decide which internet provider I should sign up for so I debated for 2 whole months before I finally realized how ridiculous I was being.
