My first DIY upholstery project, and I lived to tell about it!

It's going to be a couple more weeks before we have any juicy construction updates for you.  Currently there are a whole bunch of inspections lined up for this week, and the polyseal spray foam is going in, then insulation, but none of those are exciting photos.  So, I thought a little bragging might entertain you in the meantime. This chair is by no means perfect.  It was intended to be my "learning chair" but I fell in love with the shape, and then I fell in love with the fabric so I was hoping I could get it to turn out ok.  I bought it to go in Nugget's new big boy bedroom at the new house, and I'm so so happy with the outcome.  I did learn a lot and feel like I'll do even better on the next one, and believe me the projects are stacking up!  I've got at least 3 more upholstery projects lined up already, and then probably several more that I just haven't decided on. My biggest takeaway is that I'm not a seamstress and I will never be a seams...

Plumbing/Electrical/Miscellaneous Update

This phase is a lot more exciting in person than the pictures convey, but this is the last update before our framing walk-through with our builder where we approve or request changes on all the stuff INSIDE the walls.  After that, the sheetrock is the next milestone!!  woohoo!  Pics after the jump.
