Awesome. 

 Just a quick tidbit on me.

 4 Marrs Men and 1 Venus Gal 

I love change, color, organization, cooking, crafts, laughing, pajamas, and coffee. 

Today I wanted to bring a little something special...I hope you all enjoy!

Dumpy Chair to Benchy Flair

So I had these 3 chairs on the side of my house that my husband could not stand! Finally I decided to do something with them! Steps are pretty basic up there, I did have to cut my legs down because these were those high chairs.

Next comes the padding. I found these seats at Walmart 3$ each. I needed 3 1/2 (due to my bench length so I just cut the 4th pad in half. Sew them together so they create one long cushion.

Moving onto the bench base: Measure your length and width. I ended up with 2 pieces of wood due to the fact that I needed 15" width and I couldn't find one piece that did that. Step 4 you place fabric (print side down), then your long pad, and the wood. Pull tight and staple gun your heart out!

 

Ta-Daa! Look at that Cutie!

I did make those fun pillows for it as well}

To secure the bench base down to the chairs, simply screw from the bottom of the chairs up into the base.

I always love the before & after Shots!

I hope you all enjoyed my "Dumpy Chair to Benchy Flair" project! If you have any questions or just want to pop on over you can always find me at my little space!

Thank you again Kara for having me over today!
