So I thought I'd this past month I'd try my hand at furniture refinishing and re-upholstering...

What do you think?

I know, I know. I didn't take "before" photos. I guess I was just too excited to rip off the old, musty, stained fabric and remove the small fleet of bent nails and screws and just plain get on with the work of restoration that I didn't remember to take pictures. My apologies. However, trust me when I say that neither piece looks anything AT ALL like they once did. It's amazing what some homemade chalk paint, sandpaper, new fabric, new upholstery tacks and a whole lot of sweat can do. Now, lest we fill up our new house too quickly I think I will take a break!
