These Chairs Are My Bitches

These chairs are totally my bitches.

Yeah, you may be laughing now, (well maybe not you, Mom, sorry) but I was NOT laughing around 2 pm this afternoon.  I've put a fair amount of furniture together in my lifetime...Ikea, Fred Meyer, Target, World Market.  Today, I picked up two of these chairs from World Market for our dining room (on sale, PLUS 25% off - boo-yah).  All I had to do was attach the seat to the back with 4 bolts and add the front legs with 4 more bolts, but damn those Allyn wrenches!  And the threads on the bolts wouldn't catch with the threads in the chair back.  I was determined to see these bitches beauties standing at either end of my dining table (which is a beautiful antique from Brett's amazing great-grandparents).  Anyhow, after "blessing them out" as SuLee would say, I love the way they look. 

Now I must go in search of fabric to recover the original chairs, and then the dining room and living room will be one cohesive, flowing unit. 
And while I'm at it, that tree has GOT to go.
