It’s almost sanded, and attempt #2 to get the colour of fabric I wanted for the seats was a success, even if they did only send me two yards when I’d ordered four. (I opened a case.)

I did most of the sanding outside; I’ll finish up the hand-sanding in here, and hopefully get the first coat of paint on tonight. Second maybe tomorrow,  maybe one day after work this week. I pre-washed the fabric I did get, and might cover a seat tonight or tomorrow.  The fabric I dyed is too dark for the chairs, but I need new pillows for No Longer Maligned Draw’s Coach anyway, so I can use it for that and it won’t be wasted.

I finally took T’s jungle back to the office, so my own plants have more room. I got another cute little sans tonight for the south living room, and a little Dieffenbachia that I think is ‘Splash’, since the ‘Camille’ seems happy in my bathroom. I got a big spath with speckled leaves, and coughed up $10 for an Anthurium worth about half that, but they’re beautiful and I’ve always wanted one. My ‘Moonlight’ philo died, but the ‘Silver’ is doing well, so I moved it to the living room with the rest. It looks nice, but still a work in progress!

EDIT: I did end up doing the seat of the chair I’d already had painted, and it looks…pretty good, I think.
