"shammyshake"

My boss is funny. On Friday I showed him the project you'll see below that I referred to as "shabby-chic'ing" and subsequently had to explain what "shabby chic" was all about.  The conversation then moved onto weekend plans, where I confessed I didn't really have anything going on, especially compared to his laundry list of fun things on the agenda.  

His reply? "Oh. I don't know what to say. Maybe you can shammyshake some more stuff!" 

Giggles galore :)

My successful shammyshake craft:

Step One: Find old rickity chair

Step Two: Have pretty SF bestie help you sand it down

Step Three (optional): Give SF besties wiener dog a bath

Step Four: Pick out fun and funky paint color. My choice? Asparagus!

Step Five: Find fun and funky fabric to re-upholster not so cute cushion

Step Six: Paint fabulous green color and reminisce about how much you loved the Grinch as a kid...

Step Seven: Assemble new chair, pop into corner of tiny apartment, be so in love with the result :)

It's official--I have the craft bug.  One of my favorite co-workers recently said to me "creativity needs to be cultivated and shared" and I couldn't agree more. Crafting this new apartment accessory was soothing, bonding and rewarding (and it only cost about $30 total). Stay tuned to see what's next on my shammyshake agenda...(I think you're gonna love it!!)....

Happy Monday! Cheers to the start of a great week and the sharing of creativity :)

In Gratitude,

Trish
