Office Chair Updo and a Sneak Peek at the new Guest Room

Hi and Happy Sunday night to all of you.


Here is a little DIY I did this morning.
Check it out!!!!

I have been having some back issues over the past few months.  After a lot of tests the doctors told me I have three disc's in my back that are bulging on nerves!!! WoooHoooo lucky me.  On top of that wonderful news the doctor added this happens a lot in OLDER people.  Ok!! now I am in the elderly group!!!!! I did not think turning 55 was the "Older People Group" but apparently when it comes to your back that is old!!!! Anyway after I just wanted to smack that doctor, I tried some meds for inflammation and some physical therapy.  I discovered during all of this that I find myself sitting a long time at the computer and not on a good office chair.  It was a cute chair but not a good one for your back.  I have been looking for a new chair and I came upon one that was vintage and had some character at Tattered Tiques this week.  

I brought it home along with my chalk paint in Pure White.  I painted the chair added some fufu to it and here it is.

I forgot to take a before picture but this chair was a dark walnut stained vintage office chair.  I used Pure White chalk paint on this chair and waxed it.  I am not sure why they call that color pure white because it is more creamy ivory color.

Then I took this table runner I have had for awhile and decided to give the chair an up do.  I love when I can repurpose things already sewn. I used a staple gun to have the edges attach to the chair and a couple of staples at the front base of the chair.  This way when I sit in the chair this would not be pulling.

Here it the back of the chair with some added lace and a fabric flower.  I think it prettied up the chair in the back.  

Wah La! New office chair.  This chair is very comfortable and I sit up straight which helps my back.  My cottage office pillow gives my back some support too.  If you love this pillow I got this from the lovely and talented Cindy at Cute Pink Stuff.

FYI. I told you that I do not sew but lately have been getting my old Sear Kenmore sewing Machine to adapt and repurpose already sewn things.  Here she is over 35 years old.  She does not have a lot of bangs and whistles on her but she can sew a wicked straight line with me!!!

Anyway I am showing you a sneak peak at my new guest room make over.  I am hoping to have pictures of the redo soon.  Yep! I made some new drapes out of old drapes. I can't wait to show those hanging.

Here is another little sneak preview of the new room that will be for rent!!!! Painted the red dresser to chippy white and added vintage crystal door knobs on this dresser.  I have some new things I am still working on in this room.  My painting stool and vacuum are not staying in the room.  Hope to have the finished room up this week. Stay tuned.
Have a great start to your week.
