Reupholster Project(s)

A little over a year ago, when my sister came to visit me, we came across a pair of matching chairs at a retro store. She was kind enough to purchase the chairs and gift the chairs to me. I love the style of the chairs and I have always intended to reupholster the chairs.

Well, a year later, I still have not yet reupholstered the chairs, although I've purchased books and read several DIY posts online about reupholstering chairs. I'm telling myself that I need to reupholster these chairs soon. I think I've just put it off because I'm afraid of starting the project, taking the chairs apart and then failing to get back to the project for a couple of months (maybe even years). I will admit that my home, my job, and my other hobbies all keep me quite busy.

Yet, I'm telling myself that I really need to get started and to follow through. Why am I telling myself that I need to get this project started? Well, I've picked up two more chairs for another reupholster project. Earlier in the summer, my workplace was getting rid of a pair of blue chairs to make room for newer furniture. I loved the chairs' style and design. So I brought these two chairs home, also with the intent to reupholster the chairs. Well, now I have two pairs of chairs in my garage, waiting for me to do something . . . anything.

So, I'm telling myself that I will begin working on my chairs. Now that I think about it, I need to clear a space somewhere in my garage to start the work. Hmmmm . . . where am I going to clear out some space? I hope it doesn't derail my intentions to start my project. If you have any ideas or pointers to reupholster chairs, let me know.
