Project Maths

A tin of red gloss paint from my brother's crazy-bright apartment...

PLUS a chair from Ebay for 99p...MINUS the nasty old fabric...

PLUS Cath Kidston scraps from the lovely Mary Poppins PLUS a bit of sewing...


PLUS a bit of inspiration from Squint...


EQUALS......



A fancy new chair for my office.
