An ongoing blog following a young married couple as they renovate their railroad apartment in Brooklyn, New York and a crazy falling down farmhouse up in the Catskills. Both husband and wife work full-time jobs each day, so almost all of their projects will be squeezed into any free second each night and every weekend. Hence the name: After-Dinner Design, though come to think of it, maybe we should change it to "So Tired Design"...)

Crafty, crafty, crafty.
10-minute weeknight upholstery project victory!
A last minute project I squeezed in on Sunday night: Julian managed to smear "something icky" on one of the pull-up chairs in our living room, and after a couple of failed attempts at cleaning it, I seized the moment and decided to recover the bugger. (The chair, not the baby.) You can still see the remnants of the stain if you look closely at the photo on the left.
Me vs. that baby...
This was a straight forward, super-easy fix: I happened to have a big piece of this navy-and-white broad stripe, and I was looking for a "right-now" solution, so it was just what the doctor ordered. Literally 10 minutes and one staple-gun session later, my pull-up chair was revitalized and my son's transgressions forgiven.
Until next time...
