DIY Project

I'm a huge fan of DIY projects. For a long time now I have wanted to try my hand at refinishing a chair. Last week I went to the thrift store and found a chair that looked just like one my grandma used to have. I knew I had to have it. I had a lot of fun with this project and even made throw pillows with the leftover material.

So, when painting the chair, weren't you thinking, maybe I should paint Rozanne's picture frame while I'm at it? Sheesh!

Looks really good! You'll have to let me know what you're doing now besides exercising, racing and fixing up old chairs.
