A strange little chair...

Remember this little guy?
Odd little chair. But I couldn't resist.

Then. It sat. Like this. For several days:


And I was freaking out. Okay, not FREAKING OUT! but just kind of worried about putting it back together. I love this color, but I wasn't feelin' it.

So I tried this:


And, although I love the color and the fabric. It was a little too much for me. I felt like it belonged at the Norsk Hostfest.

So, now after it sat for several more days, here's what it looked like. For some reason I was nervous about putting the material on. Then I was nervous about stapling. Then nervous about the trim....Ugghh....

But, now. I really like it. It speaks European to me.




Which I quite enjoy.
