I spent today recovering this Eames Era bench. I love the result with the bench – it totally fits the retro mod look that I am going for!

I also grommeted. That’s funny, right? Grommeted.

Anyway, it’s not all that it is cracked up to be unless you have a nifty hole punch. I spent about 20 minutes trying to pound a hollow tube through a thick piece of velour until I realized that a hole punch would get me there so much faster. Yep, punch punch and I was on my way putting the grommets on and securing the two sides together. Viola! I am a grommeting fool!
