Thinking Ahead for January

Kirsten and I are going to work together for Januarys craft, I want us to try something out the box with the 2 of us working together I think we could pull something amazing together. This may seem intimidating but I think we would all be happy with a unique piece of furniture to be proud of.

Idea1 #1

I could collect some old chairs or small Furniture pieces from the goodwill or Craigslist to have us refinish (or you could bring your own) I have an idea to make this run smooth

Letter_chair

This was an interesting idea from better homes and garden they stuck chipboard on the chair.

I love it. Yes, Amy asked me to help out this month since mine turned out more of an ornament free-for-all project and less prep work than normal. I'm super excited for amy's idea of the chairs. I have a couple of places I could use some extra chairs: my piano area, master bed room and maybe the aspen's room when she moves over for baby. Can I make 3? =) I have a feeling my garage may be a collections of chairs in prep for this project...! lol. Fun fun!

I love all those ideas- especially the last bench- that one is my favorite.
