Just wanted to give a quick but proper mention to my first ever design-related competition for Urban Barn, because it’s a pretty cool idea… 5 bloggers across Canada got to pick a chair, some fabric and extras, and you vote (which gives you the opportunity to win your own custom chair or some Urban Barn gift cards). The chairs will be auctioned off at the end, and each blogger got to choose a charity. I chose the Country Cat Sanctuary – who were kind enough to lend me a trap for my recent stray cat rescue operation and helped cover the cost of vet bills.

So that’s my chair above. I had initially selected a slipper chair with houndstooth fabric with pink piping but they had no bright colours in stock so above is my second option. Go vote for your favourite (hopefully mine!) here.
