I have a thing for chairs. I like to get them from Goodwill and paint them. It's become a bit of a problem. My husband even asked me recently to stop. I guess no more Goodwill chairs for a while, but at least I have my favorite chair to use everyday while I sew. This is the chair that inspired my blog name. It was a pretty sad little Goodwill find, but sturdy. He definitely had some potential, but needed a lot of love.

Super ugly, disgusting vinyl that I ripped off almost immediately. |

Lots of wood filler was required. |

After a lot of love and paint. |

My paint is Pacific Sea Teal by Bear from Home Depot. I used the paint with the primer and it went on great. |

The seat fabric is Tufted Tweets in grass by Laurie Wisburn. To provide extra support for the light-weight fabric, I fused it to a heavy twill with Heat and Bond Ultra. I used high density foam for the cushion. I sit in this thing a lot and wanted it very comfy. | | |

I really love my little chair. It makes me happy every time I use it. |
