Pull up a chair...




I found this old office chair at Value Village last week. (For $2,50, thank you very much!!!)
You've all seen them...painted an ugly non-color industrial tan, seats an even uglier brown vinyl...
Well, I know you'll all be so shocked to find out that I didn't take a before picture...you know how on top of things I am...how calculated..how focused...

(just had to take a chuckle break there for a second...)
No, really, what happened was I tore into that baby as soon as I could. I couldn't take the ugliness...I was inspired and couldn't be bothered with the before picture...What can I say? I'm an artist! Can't tell the muse to wait a second for the before picture.
A can of cream spray paint and some vintage Waverly barkcloth, and voila!
Isn't it CUTE???? Sooooooooooooooo much better than the big, huge, ugly, black pleather monstrosity I was sitting in before.
I'm way more productive and focused sittting in a cute computer chair. What about you?
