It was like Christmas morning...

So yesterday morning, I got up and took the kids to school and on the way home I drove through this neighborhood I had heard had some well-kept older homes, which I love to look at & dream about their potential.  As I drove through, something caught my eye and I tried not to get too excited, but I did...and it was SO worth it!  What did I find?? This fabulous ugly chair. ; )

I love a good wing back chair.  Oh the possibilities have been flooding my mind since I got in the car.  I'm so excited at it's potential.  Here are some possibilities...

So many beautiful designs to choose from...I LOVE those bold prints but the idea of a white/neutral slipcover seems so family friendly and versatile.  I can't wait to get started on this project...think I need to brush up on my sewing skills because I don't think my hot glue gun will take me the distance this time!  : )
