Fun Times = Fun Pictures

We love the weather as of late. we cant get enough of being outside! The twins are LOVING the trampoline, they are so daring and try to do everything their older brothers do.
One of these days I am going to do a detailed update of all the kids...one day....right?
To sum it up, we are BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! I just finished this semester with straight A's! Bow business is booming and growing, and we have a meeting next week in NYC with Bloomingdale's!!! So excited for that, if you have any "must-see" or good eats suggestions let me know! I just turned 33! i really don't feel that old. AND, the twins are turning 2 in a few months!! Party!
Silly Little Lola.

Jumping Bean.

WEEE! notice the dirty knees. She has 3 brothers.

Didn't take long for Lola to join in...

33 years of fun.

Barstool Re-do

I have these bar stools that were given to me, they are the kind with the wicker seats, and since they are fairly older, they would constantly break apart and drop pieces of wicker all over the floor! it was getting very annoying sweeping up after evrerytime someone would sit down. however, I didn't have the money to buy new barstools (at least the ones that I would want.) So I decided to try and re-do my old ones.
This was a fairly inexpensive project that didn't like very much time at all. I was able to  purchase all the supplies I needed for this project at my local wal-mart.

I used:
8 cans of spray paint
2 yards vinyl fabric
4 foam pad squares
Hot glue gun

total cost: approx. $35.00
not to bad for 4 "new" barstools!

BEFORE

Notice the wicker seat. 
I removed the chair seat from the base. I cut out the foam pad to match the shape of the seat. it doesn't have to be to perfect, because the fabric will pull it out pretty smooth.


 Next, I cut the vinyl to be a few inches bigger than the size of the top of the seat. Then I layed the seat with the foam side down, on top of the back of the fabric. i worked my way around the entire seat, pulling the fabric up and over while laying a strip of hot glue to hold it on. Once I glue it all around and everything was secure, I cut out another piece of fabric that matched the shape of the bottom of the seat to cover all the gluing i had just done. And I hot glued that down as well.


While you have the seat off of the chair base, you can spray paint them any color of choice. I couldn't make up my mind, so I did a little mix:) all of these colors were found at wal-mart! each stool took a full 2 cans of spray paint which was a little surprising. let your chairs dry and replace the re-upholstered seats back on, and that's it! easy!

AFTER!


I used a vinyl fabric because I wanted something that would be easy to wipe down. But I am sure you could use an fabric you wanted, The fabric and paint options are limitless to customize to your style.

Easters {in pictures}

You would never know that this was taken in a vacant dirty lot next to our house and that Lola's face was filthy, with sticky candy and dirt! But it turned out so cute!
