Big butt~ beforeWe’ve recently been bit by a bug…
Milo...
the world hopping millennium bug came to our casa via the post man
all the way from visiting Java Junie in Michigan
{Read about this little blog hopping bug
and his world adventureshere}
Right to work he went…The colorful little insect
finishing the Big Butt chair.
had to take off his handmade fur coat… it’s Florida for heaven’s sakes.
...little stuffed plumbers crack and all
Let me tell ya...
This little bug can haul hammer
Bigg Butt has two different fabrics
a linen{ish} on the outside and back…and
the tropical colored IKAT on the inside.
Thank Milo for the nail heads
Even bugs need 15 minute breaks
osha standards and all...
Whoa! maybe 15 second ones
adhd much, Milo man?
how much do you love that little handmade hat?
I am awaiting more nailheads…for the bottom the back…and then
the Bigg Butt will finally and happily be d o n e
wooooohoooo.
the D word.
{Pillow? You ask? had it made here}
Did you hear that Milo?
Milo?
Milo!?!
Not the big black dog cookies….
oooomph.
medic?!?

Dayum (to use your word) you did it!!! It looks gorgeous!!!!
Wowzers...that chair ROCKS!! Great job!!
I love your dog! He's so cute!
I bet he does chew up everything like mine does:)
Great point Ivy...I'll add where the great pillow is from. Not me...Etsy.
I know Becky...can you believe it (save for some more nails)
Daisy...we lucked out. Not a chewer....except people. when they smell good. No biggie.
Thanks for sharing Milo's great adventure! He could come and help me refinish a few pieces of furniture back up in Michigan when spring rolls around. He might get too hot for Florida summers :)
Beautiful. Did you do it yourself? Totally impressed.
That was adorable! Loving the chair, the bug, and the dog!!
what can i say?????
i love it to death.
it came out just great.
funny post:) thanks

You are such a goof. I love Milo and I LOVE that chair. It's just beautiful...but of course:)
That is so beautiful! I loved the little stuffed Milo, and that story - so great!
LOL! One of the funniest posts I've seen in a while. Seems like Milo is a little bit out of control!
LUVE IT!!!! CAN I USE "DAYUM"?....I work for a Baptist church. . . I think I could get by with that?! LOL!!
How funny! Your chair is awesome and I love that pillow! Great job!
Love the chair!!! I need Milo to help me... But shame on him for taking Big Black Dog's cookie.

Love the Ikat; I need that chair. I'll take Milo too.
Laughing my butt off when I should be in bed!!!!!!!! I am dying with envy over the chair. I am not exaggerating when I say, it is the most fun, unique, beautiful chair I have seen in a long time. Great job selecting the new fabrics. And the little pillow is too perfect! Oh, and your little friends, I like them too! :) Please post the chair in all it's glory when you are finished with the nailhead trim.
linda!
so he's with you and you put him to work. hee hee
milo bug was with me for a bit of time and i will tell you this: be careful about leaving too many cookies around. he could kinda get sick.
and linda, do you know about rowenia? she is waiting for milo in arizona. our ms. deb encouraged rowenia to hook up with paul the christmas elf but i know first hand that her hear is with milo. ask him if he knows she is pining for him.
i look forward to more milo reports.
oh, one more thing. the chair came out totally great.
love

That chair is a completely different chair! Wow! Did you do it yourself? I'm impressed! I need to see the whole chair though so hurry up!
Milo is adorable and tease with that big dog cookie. I love the chair! Oh how I wish I didn't get rid of the one I had similiar. xo
Looks awesome!! I'm beyond amazed by Milo's talent! Could you send him up to Norway to reupholster my chaise, please? :D
Fun post!!! The chair is definitely looking good, you...hum Milo I mean...did a great job hehe
Love the fabric on your armchair.. I love Milo's adventure
How lovely to see Milo again. He came all the way from Australia to The Netherlands, to me, and he has been visiting such lovely ladies ever since. I KNOW he adores tulips, off course. Looking forward to more adventures. Deborah was so worried about the bug and the dog, but by now he met so many big dogs alraidy, he even feeds them a cookie.
If you are interested what Milo adventured with me, please browse through my blog for older post ( oktober/november I think, hope I'm correct. )
Have fun and thank you for this post. I adore your blog !

Kat :)
OMGosh Linda, I laughed for 23 minutes! This is just too cute. I can't even pick a favorite photo, they are all so great. I'm glad
Milo has made himself so helpful...that was the main goal, to get him away from the cantina and thinking of others! Love the big butt chair!!! The fabric is fabulous. DAYUM! **kisskiss** Deb
such a fun post to read this morning... and the chair... fabulous... happy monday! xx
Oh, wow, quite the helper you had there!! Wonderful chair - amazing what new upholstery can do!! Beautifu dog - he reminds me of our very first dog, Moe! :) Silke

Too Funny!! Milo is a genius! LOVE IT!
I love this post. Milo is too cute and a hard worker. The chair looks gorgeous.
Milo must be a great helper, that chair look fabulous.
Have a great week.
I love the chair! What hard work! I prefer to call your Big Butt chair your 'pineapple chair' if you don't mind. ;)
Milo did a great job. He needs to get you to take a full on pix of that pineapple painting!!
Your pup is too wonderful! My two boxers would have a ball with him!

Milo is adorable I'd like one. Your chair fab! Nevea had even a doubt. Wish I knew how to recover stuff. The DOG--you own that big black dog? OR should I say--does that big black dog own you? He is a beauty! Sorry Milo completely slipped my mind with the photo of the big black dog...maybe a future post?
Love dogs love love love dogs--husband says no dogs--and that's ok. I do however eat up everybody elses dogs. So it would be messy me and your dog...
Wow, the chair is beautiful! Well done!
Linda!
I LOVE Milo! He did a fab job on your chair...no wonder he needed a treat (albeit a doggy one) when he was finished. The fabrics are perfect and will make quite a statement....are you doing the upholstery yourself? I'm waaaaaay impressed!
xx
Such a creative post and such a creative chair! The blend of fabrics is terrific! Anxiously awaiting a post with more pics of that chair!! Marija
You're hysterical. Love the post, your chair and the dog!
Allison
HGTV Design Star called. They want their chair back! It's lovely ;)
Although I love love love your chair re-do, it's your story telling that kept me laughing the whole way.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face before I go in for jury duty tomorrow!

You are so funny and the chair looks amazing, love the color, it turned out awesome!
Cute post! I love the fabric on your chair. It's just such a stunning and surprising combination. Nice choice.
Ok so it took me a while to pick my jaw up off the keyboard here!!! Quite possibly the most incredible re-do I have ever seen. Oh and this post....I hope the big butt chair appreciates the way you have celebrated it's new life with the coconut! All the charachters here are just wild...of course the big black one being my favorite. He is such a sweetheart. Gracie has rolled over on her back like a little tramp for that big boy!

CUTE little guy!
Oh how cute is this post, love it. But I'm a bit miffed because Milo didn't do any chores while he was here. I want a reapholstered big butt chair, it's gorgeous! Great job linda. I so wanted to come with Milo and get away from the snow.
xo-jj

I am very behind on commenting, but keep looking at this post in my Reader because it has me in awe as well as hysterics.
Having been pro *that* fabric with *that* chair from the start (sniff...seems like only yesterday your hands weren't claw-shaped from your labors) I feel compelled to say:
I LIKE BIG BUTT CHAIR AND I CANNOT LIE / YOU OTHER BLOGGERS CAN'T DENY
[and hot Hoover Dam, the tulips with BBC are stunning...I expect another BH&G shoot any minute!]
That chair you created is crazy good! The image with the tulips front and center could be on the cover of a magazine!
I love your blog and your fabulous sense of humor! I laughed all the way through. Love the Ikat and linen combination. I also have a big black dog..lab mix named Henry, 144lbs of beautiful. I featured him on my blog as well.
What an AWESOME CHAIR!!!!
I want one!!
And I LOVED this post too. Such a great read.
:-)
