My first attempt at re-upholstery

Super score at Home Goods had me reeling for weeks with the prospect of having a "custom" piece of furniture for the baby's room. It sat for almost 1 month in my garage glaring at me every time I stepped into my car as if to be screaming, "faux ostrich... vinyl... lattice print fabric". Oh the possibilities!
I've never (EVER) re-upholstered a piece of furniture... I was awful at covering my books in middle school <--- no faith in my present ability at bringing new pieces of, the ever-elusive, upholstered item back to life.  My Mom, on the other hand, had mastered this craft previously and reassured me that it was a piece of cake.

And, so I proudly introduce our new furniture family member:

I LOVE... let me repeat... I LOVE this piece of furniture and mainly because I did 85% of it myself. I was fortunate to have the help of my Mom and her experience and my Dad (and his plethora of tools no one has ever heard of at my disposal... well, that and his expertise). 

Here's the steps I took in taking on the project:

What you don't see is the ripping off of the old fabric (stock up on Advil or a bottle of wine prior to doing so) and a description of each step. Message me if you are up for taking on your own project and I am happy to walk you through it myself.
