Operation Recover


I'd been in the hunt for a chair to recover all summer. When I pulled up to my uncle's house this weekend to find this chair on his front lawn, I had to have it. He had a garage sale that morning and I guess no one was feeling up to the challenge like I was. He willingly handed it right over to us. Then I was able to find the perfect fabric that was 50% off at a Labor Day sale. And I have the best Mr. Fix-it husband who was willing to put in over 8 hours of work with me. It couldn't have worked out better. And we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
