apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We had spent about a month looking for a decent computer chair that would compliment the style in our apartment but wasn’t able to find anything that fit into our price range. Then one day we went to Tina’s (my girlfriend) parent’s place for brunch and happened to see a chair sitting in the garage with a pile of boxes resting on top. Tina instantly recognized it as her old desk chair from her childhood. In fact, the chair had originally belonged to Tina’s mother as a child, so it has quite a long history.

The next day we went to a local textile store and picked out a velour-ish type fabric with a great color. All it took then was a staple gun and screwdriver…30 min later we had a great looking chair. I have to admit though, every once in a while when I’m home alone, I’ll check the secret compartment to make sure Tina’s not hiding anything from me!

Thanks for sharing your little “Geheimsach”, Tobias and Christina. The secret is out that you two are one stylish and handy couple!
