New Chairs!

So a couple weeks ago my Mom and I went thrift store shopping. *and for those of you who haven't been over Javis and I only had two chairs at our dinning table _so we were in need of two more. So we stopped at this thrift store and they had two matching chairs... I looked at my Mom and said well I wouldn't pay more than 5dollars each... because I would need to fix them up. She agreed and went and asked how much they were. The lady said... 5dollars each!! And Bam I left with two chairs! They were both a lighter color of wood and had a pretty poor quality of fabric on them. I had to sand them down first then re stain them. I bought new padding for the seats and then put on new fabric that was more my style. They turned out very nice! The wood may look black in the pictures but it is just a dark brown. I love refinishing furniture. I have a big project after this. I have a rocking chair that is most likely over 100 years old. It needs all new upholstery. Which is quite a job. I bought the new upholstery fabric yesterday !! And now I need to find a book that will help me through this project. I know its pretty complicated but I know I can figure it out! I just love doing furniture! I must say I have a passion for it... it just helps me relax. No matter what happened that day .. all the stress just disappears as soon as I start working on my furniture.. : ) weird huh?
