2. Decided to retain and use the burlap that covered the bottom of the chair. It has these metal thingies that keep the springs in place, and I have decided to try and use the springs. So, I washed the burlap.
Yes, the water is actually BLACK. That is not an illusion. I rinsed and refilled the sink and soaked it for about 30 minutes. The water that was left was just an amber color. And the burlap didn't fall apart, so i put it out in the sun and am waiting for it to dry......

As far as the actual chair upholstering....sigh. I had a twofold mission today and I failed. FAILED! Home Depot MISSION: 1.buy staple gun 2. Ingrid falls asleep in the car.
Alas, Ingrid fell asleep on the way TO Home Depot instead of the way HOME. fail. And while lugging a 33 pound, sleeping 2 year old to purchase a power staple gun, I realize I have left my wallet in the car. Really? I go to the car, I come back, Ingrid wakes up to begin screaming for candy (thank you Halloween), and I realize I do not have my Home Depot gift card that I have been waiting to use in my wallet!!!!! fail. Fail, FAIL!
Ah, but I live to fight another day. I went ahead and bought the staple gun and will return it and then re-purchase it with my gift card. Yes, I will. Just without Ingrid. I may even ask the husband to do it! Hooray for the weekend!
