What's Red & White & Black all over?

A crafty project first for me/ gift for my super amazing friend's B-day.
 So I talk about her often her name is Britt (just Britt...that is her full 1st name it is not short for Brittney). I was totally scared to death when over 9 years ago I was called to be her Visiting Teacher. I thought for sure she was one of the "popular girls". Oh don't get me wrong she is popular, I don't know anyone who knows her who doesn't think she is totally amazing, kind, giving and Beautiful. Given that assignment was one of those moments when you know the Lord is doing His thing by making a calling into a lifelong friendship. Blah Blah Blah, you probably don't want to hear how blessed I think I am by having a few amazing friends. So Britt's B-day is this month, and I have said before she is a Photographer and I wanted to do something thoughtful so the Man of the house and I have been searching the online ads for some things I thought she could use as props and found a chair I thought had potential then found some sweet fabric for 70% off and here is the before's and after's.

See the trim around the edges?
Ok so this is the 1st time I have done this much to a piece of furniture and it is NOT perfect but I hope it will serve a better purpose by holding a baby or two for a picture.
