Before & After's X 2!


I have 2 make-overs to show you today! This cute chair...it has good bones, but it was frumpy looking...it just needed some new paint and different fabric...


It's a little hard to tell from this photo, but the seat cushion was extremely mis-shaped. Some one had not re-covered her very well... No problem!


Check her out now! A fresh coat of cream paint and updated fabric in black and cream...

She's make a great extra office or bedroom chair don't you think?

Now, for the second project... I loved these petite nightstands when I bought them, sweet little legs and the wooden doors have a striped detail on them. I thought they were the perfect thing to try my new chalk paint on....

What do you think? I love them....they have been updated with old white paint and a little distressing. I think sweet is the word for them now!


I really liked my second experience with Chalk Paint....Now, what to start next?

See you soon!

~ Favorite Friday Find ~


I told you, it's wonderful, primitive cabinet ...about 3 coats of old paint...grey, turquoise and that most wonderful green!

It has a shelf with the top longer on the right side. It makes me wonder who built it and what purpose it served? I'm sure it could tell some good stories and secrets too!


Some close ups of the paint colors...

It would be hard to replicate that paint color!

It even has lots of storage too! I think it would make a great potting table, kitchen island or storage piece. What would you use it for?

Happy Friday!
