This is basically a food blog, but I also enjoy table settings (coming again in October) and entertaining, interiors and some crafts.
I follow a lot of blogs, one being from Melissa at The Inspired Room.
She is having a project procrastinators party and I am in.
I am so in that I procrastinated my post and photo an extra day, so I think I win that part.
My project is three old bar stools, cheap ones, ones with other projects paint on them.
Nothing but good should come from this.
The plan is to paint them to match my dining table that I made with brown stone paint.
I had thought about stenciling numbers (1, 2 & 3) on top which I love but it doesn't really work with the rest of the room.
Instead I hope to make padded seat covers with some burlap that I drew some East Indian designs on.
I had used these over the back of the chairs for my table setting luncheon that I do every year and this time my theme was 'A Passage To India".
So I have two weeks, until May 14 to get this done.
Actually one week and six days because I am late already.
This is the before of one of the stools...
Yes those are weeds in the background, that is a whole other project.

I work with furniture. Burlap should hold up well as an upholstery material on the top, I wonder how well it can hold staples on the bottom. You may want to triple the amount of staples you would typically use for this type of upholstery job. Make sure to do four anchor points first and stretch the material as much as you can. Good luck.
Very cool. I can't wait to see them and yeah you have disappeared...poof!
can't wait to see them. sounds like a fun project.
Ohh sounds wonderful!
