Chicken Chair - not ready yet

I finally started reupholstering this giant chair I got for free. No this is not leather, if you are wondering. 
So we totally stripped it and cleaned it from millions of staples. Took the legs off
Then I was on a mission of finding a cool fabric for it. I found this natural, black printed chickens on it. It's closest what I had originally planned. 
Brian stripped the legs but surprise surprise, part of the leg structure is plastic! I wanted to have a natural unpainted look. Now we are a bit stuck. But will see. To be continued...

IKEA/Scrap Wood Serving Table

We recently bought cabinets from IKEA and as usual, checked out the "As is" area for some "garbage treasures". We found this storage drawer frame for $2.50.
I came home from work one day and Brian had made a top on it and it looks just so cool. We have a lot of free 2x1-s from the ceiling that we are currently tearing down and he salvaged that scrap wood for this awesome table top.
I think it looks so amazing, I can't wait to get the grill going!
