week forty two

Oops, it is already Monday evening. I totally forgot to schedule this post...

The past week was pretty uneventful and I don't have that many exciting photos to share. Mostly I was busy with my BYW Boot Camp class, still enjoying it and bouncing ideas around my head to make this blog more fun to read for you. My biggest problem is my time management and lack of focus lately, I always get sidetracked and then never return to what I was doing. THAT has to change and I know I CAN change it because at work I am very organized so I should be able to translate that into my personal life as well...

Do you see the band-aid aka flesh colored mess below that is the old vinyl covering from the Saarinen chair I found on the street. Next step is to make a pattern and start cutting the new fabric. The wooden seat structure and the molded backrest both got a good scrubbing with a water and bleach solution. You never know where the chair had been and also it smelled a bit musty. Also tried out soaking it in water and vinegar as Erin suggested in the comment section on Santa’s post about the different uses of vinegar. Actually Erin mentioned that using vinegar on a damp cloth can remove musty smells from wood furniture but I felt I needed a bit more power hence the soaking. After everything smelled clean and fresh I let it air dry in the sun. Both chair pieces smell fresh like they have never been neglected. Can’t wait to work on the chair again on Thursday!

Have a great week! xx
