DIY: Patio Chair Makeover

Last summer I bought this vintage patio set & spray painted the chair seats to jazz them up a bit. They didn't turn out as I had hoped & definetly didn't go with our space.
Today, I was wandering around downtown, strolled into the fabulous J. Wilde's and was pleasntly surprised by this cool Aqua vinyl for just $9.75 a yard!
After lifting the seat cushion, I cut a piece of vinyl to fit the seat, used my trusty staple gun that was not being so reliable(words were said), and trimmed the extra off.
The finished chair is SO stinkin' cute, it now flows perfectly with our pottery. The impact of color is much needed when you have a view of nothing but your neighbors brick wall.

I am finally pleased with the patio table and chairs, they just look so peppy! As soon as the heat dies down I envision breakfast on the patio, fall planting, & simply sitting around enjoying the evening with my man.

Hello, My Name Is......


I have been a blog dreamer for quite a while now, but have never jumped on the bandwagon due to fears of boring y'all to tears with what I have to say. Every evening after work I sit down to my computer & read a long list of blogs to detox from my day, including one by a dear friend. Imitation is said to be the highest form of flattery, so Biz: be flattered! I think I'll be blogging about: marriage, obsessions, infertility, my lovely doggie girls, creating, parties, family, sewing, & blah, blah, blah. So to kick things off, allow me to introduce myself to y'all: I'm Aubrey. (also known as Ablah or UhUh-totally depending on your current age)


Here's my cute hubby, Chris (aka:Bubba):


Then there's our 3 little ladies: Bella, Lulu, & Fifi:


Of course you should see what we all look like together:


So, there we are. More to come.....
