Wednesday, November 23, 2011 One-A-Week-Wednesday with Pinterest
Welcome to our first one-a-week-wednesday! Did you guess from this post what project we picked?!
Yep! The winner is the fuzzy chair. Or if we are going to be classy, we are DIYing a sheepskin chair. Well, faux sheepskin. I just had to! It was quick, simple, and gratifying! The picture was pinned from this lovely site I discovered, care of Pinterest.
She's pretty, eh? So let's see how we did. As with every project we like to be inspired by things we see, and add our own twist and make it ours.
We started with an old chair, I have no idea where it came from. We painted it basic white from a cheap spray paint can.
That was ther "hard" part. Painting and waiting for it to dry. Don't you love this project? Next we grabbed some small white nails we had on hand and secured a faux sheepskin Ikea rug we got for $10 to the shape of the chair.
So, what did we accomplish?
After working on her in the kitchen, we moved her into her home in the front hall. We like here there a lot. It's a perfect place to put shoes on and take them off, and drop my bag when I walk in the front door. Who thought a DIY sheepskin chair would be part of our decor?
And what's up for next week? Maybe you can help us decide!
Have you wrapped up a DIY project inspired by something you pinned on Pinterest? Link up and share!

I have looked at that little rug at Ikea, but doesn't it make your clothes hairy when you sit on it? /Maria
@maria not at all! we havent had any shedding with the one we have as a rug or the chair!
I had that chair for years. It's one of the one from the Ikea Jokkmokk dining table/chair set.
