Reupholsted Old Kitchen Chairs DIY

Here is a project I finished some time ago.  I have been busy with school and I just haven't had time to post them.  I received these old kitchen chairs for free and reupholstered them.  The material was dirty and in rough shape with rips, but the chairs are sturdy.  It was time to go bold and add some color to the room. For those of you afraid of decorating with red, don't be afraid of the color.  I chose a country plaid and still was able to use the bold color of red without it looking too loud and busy.

Hand-made Halloween Minion costume

This year I decided to make our son his Halloween costume.  A little despicable me - minion costume.

I just threw it on him for this picture and it wasn't completely adjusted.  I didn't want him to be late for nursery school. It cost around $30 to make.
