| Some time in October I got this chair for free. Now I am finally getting around to posting about it. I am such a procrastinator when it comes to blogging. I really enjoy blogging but deciding what to write has always been hard for me. I always end up with too many pictures and not enough words which is funny because I always have an abundance of words to write when I journal. note to self: blog like you are jounaling. 
As I was sanding my new chair I thought to myself how I feel so inspired went I do diy projects. I feel as though I could make anything I put my mind to.

| I like sanding things more that I thought I did. It is nice to make something all smooth. |
 |
| It is such a lovely chair I almost left it this way. But I was determined to be creative and paint the chair. |
 |
| I got some very bright paint that is purple. I am not sure why I got purple, it doesn't really match my room but I just liked it at the time. |

 |
| Who could of thought I could take so many pictures of a chair. At first I uploaded 60 pictures to my blog. You do not even want to know how many pictures I took of the chair to start with. |
 |
| In all I think I spent around $5 on the chair. |
 |
| My paint is dry and a few little sands here and there and I will be done. |
 |
| Finished |

| So I ended up with a pretty cute chair. A very bright chair that is, brighter then I thought but still adorable! Thanks for looking at my 20 pictures! With love Emma Katherine |
Hi, Emma! I loved the colors in your photos here! Gorgeous - especially the brilliant orange pumpkin sitting on the newly-purple chair. I know what you mean when you say your like making things smooth - I'm the same. My mom often found very inexpensive old pieces of furniture at yard sales etc, and of course so many things made long ago are really well-made, so she'd buy them and then do the stripping of their old paint or stain. Then she'd hand them off to me - I was the Official Family Sander. I found I really liked the repetitive motions of sanding, plus it's rather mindless just pushing and pulling the sandpaper back and forth, so you can wander off in your thoughts while still being productive! Even after I grew up I'd sand things for my mom on Saturdays when my parents let me do my laundry at their house. Spent a lot of Summers in the back yard watching the sky and sanding. Now my parents are gone and I have some of those things I spent hours sanding in my house - and they're very special to me. OK take care and talk to you soon! :>)
