I had so much fun taking them from this…
To this…
It was an easy fix with some sanding, a can of spray paint and some scrap fabric and piping!
My true passion though is getting down and dirty with a nail, hammer and staple gun – and truly taking a piece of furniture apart and refurbishing it! With an antique loveseat, sofa rocker, and baby glider under my belt – I always have my eye out for prize pieces. Something about listening as the furniture speaks to you while you take it apart one piece at a time, figuring out how it is put together, and really just building up a good working sweat. Knowing what the work of your hands has created. I love it all! And once you are done, you have a piece of furniture you will love forever. The pieces I have made, are truly my favorite in the whole house.
Now as for sanding and painting things, that is another story. I love it, but am truly terrible at it! I have tried dressers and more simple tables before, trust me when I say – it looks like a 10 year old did it when all is said and done.
I stick with what I know, something that involves fabric. And I truly love it. Some day…

LOVE these!!!
These are adorable!!
Ahh, yes painting is a drag. A few years ago we invested in a Wagner paint sprayer for about $60 when we refinished our kitchen cabinets. Totally worth the money! Its like having spray-paint in any color you want because you get to pick the color from the mega wall of paint samples instead of the 20 shades of spray-paint cans. And get GOOD paint, don’t cheap out on it.
Your chairs are ADORABLE! Love them!
