I Am Determined. . .

Today, I am going to try and show alot of self-restraint by stepping away from the computer so I can get a few of my 101 projects done.  First item of business: to finish painting these chairs white and to recover the cushions.  I'm hosting a little party Friday night and at this rate, my guests are going to fall through the chairs when they try to sit down :) 

Nothing like having company to get you motivated.

  1. Good to know I'm not the only one that has a hard time pulling myself away from the computer. I'd could read blogs all day! Good luck with getting your projects done!

  6. I Love the french lines of those chairs! I can't wait to see them finished! I always wait til the last minute to finish a project. I think its the pressure of having to get it done that helps me finish!

  7. Nothing like having a guest stay in my home in order to motivate me to get the little things done. I don't think what you are doing to your chairs is a little thing because for me it would be a huge project. I just posted today on painting something white and it was a little project but I am just not a very good DIYer. Happy Wednesday.

  8. It might be kind of funny to watch them fall through the chairs! However I'm sure they will look beautiful with seats!

  12. Good luck finishing up, Emily! And you're right; I think I get about 90% of my projects done right before I have company coming.
