My name is Becca. I'm currently an interior design major with a previous degree in Accounting. Odd mix, I know. As far as the interior design thing goes... it's fun to learn and it's nice to get the creative education and energy it offers... but it's not for me. I'm your typical shy girl, that sits alone in the office all day at work, and is completely content with the occasional chat with a friend at work, but has no desire to deal with strangers all day. I always figured that even if I didn't decide to go into a design career, I'd at least have an awesome looking house because of it.
So here's a little bit about my life currently:
I married my best friend about a year ago. He wanted a BMW, I wanted a house. So, being the amazing husband he is, we bought our first house a month ago.
We also welcomed our first dogchild a week ago. Her name is Reese.
Over the winter, thanks to too much time on my hands, the desire for a project, and the love of furniture, I snatched up a little chair that started an obsession. This is what it started out as:
My friend and I found this little baby in a barn advertised on Craigslist that had all kinds of junk in it. It was super cute with loads of potential (although my husband wasn't so sure). It just so happened to fit into my 2-door Chevy Cavalier, so I took it home. After two nights of nonstop sanding, and a few more sitting in the bathroom with the ventilation fan on to help with the fumes of staining and varnishing, it is now a lovely addition to my living room.
My husband was feeling a little better after it was done, but he's not a fan of the fabric, so it's a work in progress until I can reupholster it.
Since the chair, I've been itching to do some more. I promise the pictures of the next projects will be much better, as soon as I find which box I packed my camera in.
Until then, I'll be working hard on my next project.
