Project 365

What is Project 365 you may ask? Put simply, it involves taking a picture every day for one year and posting it online for the world to see! I joined the Project 365 group on Flickr, and am excited to get started. I like the idea of flexing my photographic muscle to explore areas outside of my comfort zone (photographically speaking anyways). I'm hoping that finding inspiration in every day things will not only make me a better photographer, but help me to see the beauty in things I might have otherwise missed if I weren't purposefully seeking them out. So, here's my very first Project 365 pic. - Day 1. I bought this chair at a garage sale this morning with my mom for a whopping $5.00! I almost walked right past it until she pointed it out to me and I instantly fell in love with it's presence and shape. I probably would have been tempted to pay $500.00, so it's a good thing the price tag closely matched what was in my wallet ;P
This summer I have big plans for an interior makeover, and this chair is perfect. I would love to have it reuppholstered in something like this:

I love this charcoal gray trellis fabric! How dreamy would it be to have a whole bed covered in it????
