how to pimp a wooden chair!

lets add some color and pattern to an ordinary wooden chair. this is the simplest way to do it. need no sewing at all and using your daily tools and material. i dont think its so hard to find them near you :D

now the preparation :
you'll need an ordinary wooden chair, sponge (i use 3cm thick sponge), plain sheet of fabric, pattern fabric, cutter knife, fabric/wood glue, and stapler (the bigger the better, i use 6mm stapler)

and this is how you do it :

turning this chair into that chair

3cm thick sponge, glue it to the chair

trim the excess of the sponge

this is pretty much how it looks. now ready to wrapped

first, wrapped the chair with a plain sheet of fabric, then hold the top with needles. the needles will hold still the fabric when you staple the back side

staple the back side. use all strength you have!

trim the excess of the fabric, and do exactly the same process to the pattern fabric

and this is pretty much how it looks! oh wish i could make it a little bit neater. since i use stapler, there are some area that are not stapled well. pretty difficult i admit. a gun-taker will help actually, but i dont have one :p

this is the back side of the chair

now you got a new chair :D

looks pretty good in my room. yay.

so thats that! pretty easy right?
thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy making it :)

when it comes to the sky, blue can go with any colors in the world.
i think this is one of the coolest thing about nature.

cool place like a tattoo studio

last day in 2010. a perfect day for my two girl-friend, Tia and Elda, to impulsively have another tattoo.
Elda wished to have an angel's wing on her feet, and Tia would have "missing piece" tattooed on her wrist.
and i? oh i just sat there, looking around and taking picture while they have inked by Mr. El Kampreto :D

Mr. El Kampreto with his splash-of-colors tattoo. like it!

new tattoo for new year!
kiss too my crazy girl-friends, Tia and Elda ^^

my hand

see, hand?

you can do everything you want.
literally!

mirror.mirror

this is something i do on Sunday afternoon
among my paper, my bed and my laziness

im playing around with my laptop's web-cam
and the result is unexpectedly interesting
well, a bit creepy somehow.

i capture this using mirror effect on my web-cam
found it kinda cool anyway.
what you saw on these pictures is me, my room, my hand, and my zebra pillow

Potluck

this place is quite recommended for you
who loves the idea of coffee, friends, talks and jazz
mingled in one place, Potluck!


never afraid to come here alone,
they got looootttss of interesting books and magazines
just the perfect company for a cup of coffee on your "me-time"

another cute detail is the 'wishing well' right before you enter the cafe
throw a coin and make a wish!
hope you got the luck on Potluck :)
