Thanks, AT, for the motivation to do a project that had intimidated me for far too long. I am so inspired by others' amazingly creative projects, that now I am on a diy high! I love making my surroundings beautiful with creativity and ingenuity. It is a very rewarding expression of self. Long live AT, and the supportive community I have found within!

Amazing! I am excited to try this in my powder room. Do you know how much two double-rolls of wallpaper are?? I could save a ton o'cash. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations!!!

Love the chair! I'm impressed how you can see the potential in something so tired looking. Good job!

Wow, thanks for the great feedback! It is nice to know that I'm not the only one that has had some major DIY obstacles to overcome. Squirrels?? What a great story!

For those of you who asked, I'll give 'ya all the paint/primer/closeup details you would like. As soon as I get my kids off to bed. My best advice is GO FOR IT! It wasn't nearly as daunting as it seemed (which was why I waited 8 years to try).

Oh, and to give my awesome little sister Ashley some overdue credit, she was a real trooper to see me through the project. She's still finding primer in undisclosed physical locations. She's the "marshmallowman" pictured.

Your fabric is adorable!

Now, go for it -- you can do it, and you'll be thrilled with yourself afterwards. We're all rooting for you.
