Life of a Chair: Funky Town

Hi! It's me, although you may not recognize me since my recent transformation.

I have enjoyed all of the preparation my owner has been working on to help me in my makeover. Here are some of the materials she needed to take me to the next level. She needed some acrylic paint in fun colors, so she took a quick trip to Wal-Mart. The large bottles were under $3 each.

Her buddy Judy gave her some tips on decoupaging and let her use some Mod Podge from her own stash.

She laid newspapers down on her work space, along with the illustrations that she printed from David's web site. Judy helped out by cutting some fun characters out. When she had a base painted, she saved a 5" x 5" area in the center of the seat for the real artist to doodle and sign.

Then, she just had fun sticking and wrapping and Mod Podging the illustrations here and there.

I love the energy and the whimsical playfulness of my new style.

What do you think?

Wait a sec. I think this is my better side...

These stripes really are slenderizing, don't you think?

Oh no, not a close up...

"Chaireese!"

All dressed up and someplace special to go tonight! Maybe we'll *seat* you tonight at 6:30 at Plymouth's Riverside Middle School to meet with David Slonim. I'm saving him this special seat right here! Oh. I do hope he likes me!

Check in tomorrow to see the special flair he adds. Hope to *seat* you soon!!!
