While I've been off work I managed to pick up a 2nd hand nursing chair from a local buy, sell or swap group on FB. The chair including footstool cost me £60, so a nice little bargain :)
The beige cushions aren't quite me to be honest and there is certainly evidence of a child set free with a red biro at some point in the seat cushions past, and although I'm not the sort of person to jump for a cloth everytime there's a minor spillage, it's nice to have the option of removing covers and giving them a wash, so off I toddled to Ikea to buy some fabric!
I found a fabric I liked "Guvnor" at £3.99 pm, so 4 metres purchased, and here is the (nearly) finished result! I still have to cover the footstool which I hope to get done tomorrow.
also...I finally found myself a wrap sling!
It's a Girasol Rainbow 5.2m, I won it in an eBay auction, it is well preloved but in wonderful condition and beautifully soft.
Obviously no action pics available yet as 7 mths pregnant,
however when ds saw it he got very excited and started shouting
"Wrap me up Mummy! wrap me up!"
so here's a pick of it non-action :)

Great bargain. I have the same nursing chair but unfortunately found it really uncomfortable for the first few weeks, then great for a couple of months, then uncomfortable again as baby grew bigger. Lovely for dozing through sleepless nights during my next pregnancy though but same issues after the birth. The chair and stool have also been recovered in some funky fabric rather than the original navy blue and now sit in our older daughters room where they get far more use than before. I have a 70's modular rocking chair instead now bought for £2.91!
ReplyDeleteThe wrap is gorgeos too and lucky you winning it on ebay. Nearly time for some real action shots!
Best wishes.

Lovely makeover, and I love your new sling too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becks & Arwen :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully action shots of the sling (and nursing chair) will be available soon!
