Pinterest Project Presented!

You all know I’m a huge fan of Pinterest! I like to share what works and what doesn’t from the various things I find there! Check out these previous posts HERE, HERE and HERE, if you want to see all the fun!

I don’t have one of these, but I have several spots around the house in which I’d like to place a cool statement chair like this one!
