Last weekend I spent a great deal of time ripping off the remaining fabric (i think the neighbors could hear me grunting). I thought i had survived the hardest parts of the process- getting the darn thing home, and sanding off the stupid finish! but, alas, i was tricked! and getting the inside arms and back seat fabrics off (where they meet- stuck in the corners) was actually the most labor-intensive task to date. With that being said, I haven't even begun cutting and applying fabrics, so i may eat my words soon enough! oh well, i'm having fun :)
these pictures show the wood after the sanding was just completed. the stain went on so nice and easy- i used a stain and polyurethane in one! i applied two coats and voila! good as new. i did notice, however, that the couch is made of different kinds of woods. this wasn't noticeable before sanding. it now looks kind of rustic and worn, which i'm totally into.
2. halloween was kind of a laugh riot. our costumes were very last minute. i'm actually kind of glad there aren't any pictures of me. i dressed up as mauricio, in his favorite clothes, complete with mustache and beard. the morning of halloween, we carved pumpkins, roasted seeds, raked leaves. we were SO fall! it was so much fun. oh, can't forget to mention Z and her amazing costume. she was such a good sport and let us dress her up one last time, just long enough to pose in her (un)natural habitat for a photoshoot. it was beyond hysterical. since it was unseasonably warm, that night we had dinner (finally!) on the rooftop at Daedalus. i guess it has to be november (or nearly) to not have to wait to sit on the roof. it was pretty empty, and we had a great time. the rain started as soon as we licked our plates clean, so we skee-daddled and went home to costume-Up and met julie and jason at Sacco's to bowl the night away. we met a couple of their friends, Hal and Tara, who were pretty cool. overall, a great halloweenie!
