Do It Yourself
Introducing DIY , brought to you, for the first time, by the frugal folks at TSP.
The Memorial Day weekend project consisted of reupholstering the deck furniture to provide seating for our guests to enjoy an All American meal. We're too cheap to buy new furniture, we'd prefer new shoes instead.
I found this fitting for the blog so I documented the work and have shared the process below. Enjoy, and don't use a staple gun without proper supervision.
1. Toss the rotted seats before your friend falls through and never speaks to you again.
2. Pick out the most emasculating fabric you can find to accessorize your dudes deck.
3. Measure seats and cut wood accordingly - (this is where a man comes in handy).
4. Trace the wood boards on the foam and cut.
5. Cut batting, fold over foam and board and staple to the backside of the board creating a cushion. The batting will create "waterfall effect" when you apply the emasculating fabric.
6. Place fabric over the unfinished cushion and wrap it like a present. Then, staple the bejeesus out of the underside of the cushion pulling each side tightly for a snug fit. Hope your guests don't flip the cushion to check out your handy work.
Tip: Use 2 different fabrics for a dynamic deck set. Or if you just can't decide which pattern you like best.

Day 2 - Baltimore
Day 2 in Charm City, Battle ships, a harbor tour and scrumptious Maryland crab cakes!
First stop was Fells Point. Cobble stone streets led you from boutique to pub as you made your way to the water. We refueled at The Point at Fels with Crab Cake Benedict, friend green tomatoes and fresh squeezed orange juice mimosas - I felt right at home.
