La Fin!

Done! Done done done!!
I finished! So here's the final product!

I moved the blue stool away from the chair so that you could see the difference, but really they go together. 

I am still so in love with this mantel. 

So here it is!

I am so pleased with it. I really think it is boatloads better than when we started out. Boatloads.

Living Arts College

I forgot to tell you about my visit! The school is amazing. I can't imagine being able to spend 3 whole years there! (It's really a 4 year degree but it goes year round!) I really wanted to see the dorms, since they're brand new and palace-like according to their brochure, but they couldn't let me :(.(How interior designer of me!) I did get to see their class rooms and they are really domes! The whole school is comprised of a handful of connected domes! There were students in there too, all hard at work!
I wish I had pictures to show you but I felt bad taking them when the people were in class!
If you're anywhere near Raleigh and interested in Interior Design, please go check it out!
And tell them I sent you. I'll get a gift card.

So Close!!

The chair is done! I actually finished it last night, but I couldn't get it to post.. hmm. Anyway!

It's every bit as comfortable as it looks. 

This was definitely more difficult than the stool.. For the stool (I don't think I explained this before) I basically just cut a square and hemmed it. I laid it on the stool, sewed on some ribbon and it was good to go! 

For the chair, I had to put a little more work into it. I stuck with the basic square principle, I just sewed a back on! It's kind of like a soft potato sack with some ribbon to give it shape. I quite like it. 

The only thing left to do is the other foot stool!!

I'm so, so close! 

And then, of course, I have to put the living room back together since I took it apart to complete these projects.

P.S. I keep forgetting to tell you! I decided against the wall decal. I really like how empty that wall looks. It brings the attention to the table and picture. I don't want to draw that attention away.
