hey everyone! check off another W.i.P on the list! a rustic burlap bag + chair i showed ya awhile back have finally come together...making this goldilocks giddy w/ delight! read on for more of the fairytale.
{too much}. ok. i have to admit that this chair with it's quirky fabrics & play on patterns had me somewhat intrigued as is. i looked @ it on two separate occasions at our local thrift shop before springing the whole $7 asking price.

{too little}. i decided that the fabrics must go. i wasn't warming up to the idea of keeping them + had a vision that included something a bit more updated. a burlap postal bag i found awhile back seemed like an appropriate contemporary option. so i thought i would strip her to the bones & start over. i discovered that the original muslin back was pretty darn cool as is. and i was also tickled to find under all the layers of fabric, straw + batting a fantastic old grain-sack base!

{just right}. like i said...i saw no need to do a thing to the back.{score!} the rustic tacks + tatty nature of the raw edges were perfectly imperfect. after salvaging the grain-sack for another project, i wrapped the original batting w/ the burlap bag. quick, easy & didn't require 1 stitch. just some duct tape. every handy-girl's reliable stand-by.
i think mama, papa & baby bear would give me their paw's up on this one! for now...this fairytale ends with my "just right" chair tucked into the corner of another, larger W.i.P. otherwise known as my office. hopefully i will be living happily ever after in that room very soon. the fairytale will continue so be sure to check back again for more of this story!
onto the next bowl of porridge!
