three becomes one



I have been collecting old chairs from various places over the past few months for a special project. After I found my last one a few weeks ago I was able to finish it out.

These were the chairs before, plus one that I had previously refurnished that you can see in this post
I got one from Goodwill for $6 and the other one was $2 from the Habitat ReStore

After painting, glazing, and a little woodworking, I joined the 3 chairs together with scrap wood and metal braces behind the legs.

I used 2 king sized pillows for the cushion, and covered them in this awesome fabric.



Now I have a fun, colorful, little bench!



Isn't it so cute!
I really wanted to add arms to both ends, but that proved to be a little beyond my skill level. Maybe one day!


It was originally going in the living room, but the colors match my bedroom so perfectly!

Plus, I have another project in the works for the living room...

This took me 4 hours on Sunday. Hopefully the rest won't be so bad!



I hope you like my bench! It was pretty easy to do, the hardest part was collecting the chairs. And, if I ever want to separate the chairs again, I can. I didn't have to make any real structural changes to them!

    2. Hi heather. I actually found the fabric at a local shop here in Houston. It is an outdoor fabric if that helps. Sorry- I feel like that is not a lot of help.

  58. Консоли от компании Microsoft не сразу захватили всемирную известность и доверие игроков. 1-ая консоль под названием Xbox, вышедшая в далеком 2001 году, значительно уступала PlayStation 2 по количеству проданных приставок.

Рабочий эмулятор Xbox 360 хоть и существует, однако он требует производительного ПК, для покупки которого потребуется вложить существенную сумму. К тому же, разные артефакты в виде исчезающих текстур, недостатка некоторых графических эффектов и освещения - могут изрядно попортить впечатления об игре и отбить желание для ее предстоящего прохождения.

У нас можно совершенно бесплатно и без регистрации скачать игры на Xbox 360 через torrent для следующих версий прошивок консоли: - FreeBoot; - LT 3.0; - LT 2.0; - LT 1.9.

Потому, для запуска той либо прочей игры будет нужно загрузить специальную ее версию, которая стопроцентно адаптирована под одну из 4 перечисленных выше прошивок. На нашем интернет-сайте можно без усилий получить желаемый проект под подходящую прошивку, поскольку возле каждой игры присутствует название версии (FreeBoot, LT 3.0/2.0/1.9), под которую она адаптирована. Пользователям данного ресурса доступна особая категория игр для 360-го, созданных для Kinect - специального дополнения, которое считывает все движения 1-го либо нескольких игроков, и позволяет управлять с их помощью компьютерными персонажами. Большой выбор ПО Кроме способности скачать игры на Xbox 360 Freeboot или LT разных версий, тут можно подобрать программное обеспечение для консоли от Майкрософт: - различные версии Dashboard, которые позволяют кастомизировать интерфейс консоли под свои нужды, сделав его более комфортным и современным; - браузеры; - просмотрщики файлов; - сохранения для игр; - темы для консоли; - программы, для конвертации образов и записи их на диск.
