Please tell me you’ve checked out Kelly’s blog, Much To Do with Nothing. She is the queen of redos, and her blog is full of chair makeovers galore! She teaches how to sew a wing back slipcover HERE:
She rescued this sad thing back to its former glory:
And she gave each of these chairs their own distinct makeovers. They’re totally like the Sweet Valley High Twins.
This one is Elizabeth: elegant, demure, sophisticated.
This one is Jessica:
A little on the wild side!
(Ok, PLEASE tell me you know what I’m talking about here… Anyone?)
And, no, clearly not a chair,
but behold her fan-freaking-tastic bathroom:

November 13, 2009 at 10:50 PMHa! I remember CRYING to my mom after reading those books because I was so sad I didn’t have a twin sister. Oh my gosh…that’s hilarious.
Great makeovers. I’ll have to go check out her blog.
