Dressy Dresser!

We used a nice taupy grey for the base color on this dresser then used one of our favorite stencils from Cutting Edge Stencils in a lighter grey just on the drawer fronts. I then used a faux "linen" paint treatment over the stencil to give it a shabbier look! We used it at the Savor The Central Coast event! It was a big hit!

Cute as a button chair redo!

I fell in love with how this turned out! It can be shabby chic OR fit into a beachy cottage! I painted a warm taupe grey, upholstered it in Linen, burlap was used for bottom and welting. I aslo used a really soft striped t-shirt material and of couarse all of those different buttons for the tufting! This chair is for sale! contact me for more info!

 Just by painting this cute old Ethan Allen end table and distressing it could have made it look good enough but I had "Lincrusta" a paint-able wallpaper that I used for the top then just lightly went over it with a little grey paint and that's how I got the look of an Old tin Ceiling Tile.

Queens accent chair

before then stripped and painted,

handpainted a crown, upholstered the back with ruffles, finished the seat and added a cream ribbon with nailhead trim.

Barstool Upgrade!

When you only have one barstool and none matching you might as well make 1 super cute! I started by sanding/painting the wood. Then added the fluer de lis in the center. I wanted to do something super cute on the seat so I laid out the fabric and pinned it then sewed the sides so that the seat cushion is ruched linen. I then added the linen and burlap ruffle underneath for a skirted look, then some twine in all of the creases of wood, and a corset with nailheads to the back and added more linen ruffles that can be seen from the front as well! This chair will be displayed and for sale at a local winery event!

Old crate into storage footstool!

I forgot to take a picture before I painted the outside, but just so you get the idea it was the same as the wood that you see on the inside :)

It was an old tomato catsup crate that I found at my local antique store for $16!

I used it for a friends baby nursery (more pics to follow) made an upholostered lid and voila!

Old mini blinds = NEW Roman Shades!!

What a money saving this trick is!!!!
I stole this idea from pinterest, had to try it out! Heres how I did it!

Start by taking off all of the slats, so all you have are the strings.

Next hem all of the edges of your fabric. Then lay it out, and glue the top of the blind onto the top of the fabric.
I started to put some of the slats back in I spaced them every 9 in". Then I ran the string back through the slats as well, and glued them down.

 Heres how it looks layed out. I put the bottom back on and finished off the the string with a knot.

And the finished product! I would make sure to use a little thicker fabric because you do see the slats when the sun comes through.
