I wanted to suggest something for your future projects. I've taken a couple of wpholstery courses at the local community college and I splurged on a small compressor and staple gun. I got both at Harbor Freight Tools. The compressor was $35 during one of their frequent sales and the gun was $14.95. I've had it for about 3-1/2 years and it still works great. I can bring it inside the house to work on things and that makes all the stapling, etc. got REALLY fast and easy. Last year I went back to Harbor Freight and got the brad nailer and I use that to add trim and appliques to the furniture I redo. It was cheap at twice the price as far as I'm concerned and I couldn't even imagine working with the stapler you used. I know it was really hard work but you did do a great job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152526857124989450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69426328941017645132011-09-19T02:55:19.045-04:002011-09-19T02:55:19.045-04:00Oh and I thought I'm the only one on blog worl...Oh and I thought I'm the only one on blog world that doesnt make perfect DIY projects but I loved it...I think now I will be able to make chair skirts/bed skirts any skirt :D<br />BTW you can add 3 small buttons to the blue trim on the bed of the chair where the edges meet ( you put some small green trim to cover) I thought maybe a 3 buttons will look cool too :)<br />Im your newest so talkative follower lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175960014381124140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-18023170309055038712011-08-05T08:11:56.591-04:002011-08-05T08:11:56.591-04:00I love what you've done with this room.
