Time flew by today as the Business of Upcycling was busy gathering and preparing stools for reconditioning, selecting fabrics for the seats, and taking the seats apart. We e
xplored the second floor of Meservey, brainstormed project ideas, and decided on three different projects relating to stools.
 |
| Pitching ideas for re-design of stools |
 |
Testing out one of the chairs that will be redone!
We have some excellent ideas for this char and one other! |
 |
| Drilling out rivets to prepare surface |
Some other things we did today:
- Went to Joann's fabrics and selected fabric for the projects.
- Went to Home Depot and purchased paint, steel wool, and cushioning for the stool and met the manager who gave us a deal on some cushioning material.
- We took apart the two big chairs.
- We ended the day around 4 after cleaning and everyone sharing one thing they learned today!

Both Ms. Freeborn and I were extremely pleased with the engagement and enthusiasm of the group today! We meet at 8 am sharp ready to work.
Awesome work, guys! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do with those stools!
