Friday - Shopping and Working!

Mom and Dad are here! Yay!

Unfortunately for them, I kinda put them straight to work. :D No, really, they were ok with that as they wanted to help me with my new move. One of the things that I had needed was to replace the fabric on the cushions in my built-in dining nook. The fabric that had been there seemed like it had been there for ages and frankly, who knew what they had been through?

We started our morning bright and early going to Britex Fabric Store. It was a fun collaboration of ideas and we finally settled on some calming fabric and trim for the cushions.




We were excited to start but were very hungry so we decided to head to Chinatown for some lunch. We ended up at a seafood place (can't remember the name!) and got a couple dishes, seen below, all decent. Good, not great. But it filled us up and we soon headed back to the Inner Sunset.



We then checked out the cushions and saw what had actually been the fabric color choice. What a difference between the original color and the present-day color. We began staple gunning away - I became quite the staple gunner! How satisfying is that job? :) Well, we finished in the afternoon and check out the fabulous results.
