The Boat

Bryan and I really really like our boat.  Unfortunately, cosmetically, the boat has seen some better days.  After it got hit with a hailstorm at the end of last summer, the upholstery was in a bad place.  Especially when you wear a swimsuit. (which in a boat happens more often than not!)  Bryan decided was could re-upholster it ourselves.  He took all the seats out in the bow before I got a chance to take a 'before' picture.  But I did take these beauties after he took them all out...  It was cracked and well, take a look, you'll see what I'm talking about...

First step:  Take off all the old rotting vinyl.  It was seriously rotted on.  The staples were disintegrating when I tried to remove them.  Lucky for me my mother-in-law and father-in-law were in town this weekend.  We had quite the project on our hands.  I was SO happy to have help.  My MIL has some serious talent with a sewing machine, I couldn't have done it with out her.  The four of us worked really hard all weekend. (it probably took the 4 of us 12 hours to finish this)

I couldn't be happier with the finished product!

Here it is in boat!  All done!

(Now on to the Captain's chairs...just you wait! These are gonna be SWEET when they are done!)
