More progress . . .

I think I might like to take an upholstery class -- very satisfying work. But I am pretty sure they wouldn't advise me to use hot glue and a staple gun. Those work pretty well, however, when you're recovering a ratty 26-year-old chair with an old chenille bedspread you dyed purple. A little cutting, a little stretching, a little stapling and a lot of hot glue.

After:

Clay put up shelves for me -- how sweet. It might be karma, but the opening between the door and the wall in this room is exactly the same width as the shelves they sell at Home Depot. He also found a 6-foot table at WM that fits perfectly in this space.

Hopefully, I'll be able to post the whole renovation soon.

Peace
