reupholstery 101

before:
(apparently whoever covered this thought yellow pleather would never go out of style because there were about 15 million staples.)

after:

i'm not quite finished yet (that's why it's kind of poofy in a few spots), but i kind of like it without the back part. what do you think? am i just being lazy?

Oooh, I think it looks great without the back. I would leave it as is, unless it's uncomfortable. You're a master!!!

Way to go! I like it without the back. It gives it more dimension. Have you sat on it though? Maybe it needs some back support? Cute green color :)
