Free Bandon Chair

I completed this chair over the weekend for the Bandon Cottage. I got the Fabric at JoAnn's in Medford. It seems most of the fabric stores have gone out of business in my area. I sure miss Brytex in San Francisco (Union Square area.) It took me forever to make up my mind. I kept looking for something that looked real beachy but I wasn't happy with what I found. I do like this floral print though. I've decided to cover another chair for the coast in the same fabric. That will probably be next month though as I've already started on a rocking chair (pictures will be on a later post.)

Here is the before shot. The chair was on the side of the road with a big "Free" sign next to it. I actually left the chair and drove past the first time and then started thinking about it later. I just into the car at 10 pm and headed back to see if it was still there. It was so I brought it home. Once again everyone thought I was nuts for taking the chair. I had to replace most of the padding. Damian did some gluing to make it stronger. So what do you think? Did it turn out alright?

Until Next Time...

Got a Clogged Sink well....Just Zip-It

I just have to tell you about this handy-dandy tool I got at Lowe's. One of the Ashland master bathroom sinks had a little clog which was driving me crazy. I had been intending to get out the tools and crawl under the sink to unleash the nasty little build up of hair etc. My husband saw this little tool advertised in Lowe's flyer for unclogging drains. The cost was less than $3.00 so I thought I would give it a try before I went through all the other trouble. The package says good for only one use so I purchased two of them (one to take to Bandon of course.) I really didn't have much faith going into this but I put the bendable tool down the drain and when I pulled it out- out came all kinds of hair and stuff (yuck and I haven't even had breakfast yet this morning) - well folks the drain is clear! I did put the tool down the drain several time and it didn't seem to effect the tool that much. Instead of throwing the Zip-It away I'm going to save it for another clogged drain. The tool is made from a bendable plastic and the little teeth which alternative on either side of the long strip will wear down with use. Here is a link for you to take a better look at the product. http://www.preparedness.com/zipitdrcltoi.html
