We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

5/17 Expressions
Frugal project for the week: Pictured is the ripped upholstery of a chair I paid $5 for about 20 years ago. The fabrics are from clothes I no longer want. The fushia jacket is about 15 years old and the lime green shirt is about 8 years old. The fabrics are nice and can be pieced together to make a new cushion. I want to save the piping - so, I looked for a seam ripper. After a half an hour, I gave up. I will get one at Wal-mart. I plan to refinish the wood with the same stain we will be using on the kitchen cabinets. Then, the chair can go with the built-in desk.
