Elizabeth and I have been working on a little project this summer. She bought an ugly chair with a smile at our neighbor's garage sale in Kansas. We moved that chair here, then tore it apart! When appropriate, she helped with each step of the process. First she picked out her fabric and paint color. (This was a major thing). Then she helped remove fabric and staples. She was not too sure about the sanding, but tried it. She did not like the way the vibrations made her hands feel. Once I finished the sanding, we painted. She did a fair amount of the painting, with me just coming behind to smooth out and catch drips. The staple gun was a Mom thing, although she did help hold the fabric tight or the chair still. I've included the before and after picks. I'm happy with the way it turned out and I'm proud of Elizabeth for sticking with the project. She saw the fabric, knew what color she wanted and went for it! Good job LadyBug!!
