Bliss & Miscellaneous

We’ve had this chair in the guest bedroom we converted into Baby E’s 2nd nursery (more on that here).

It obviously had seen much better days. Since the wood was chipped in multiple places the best thing to do was to fill it will wood putty and paint it.

Most of my office furniture is white and I eventually want to paint our office grey. So when I found this fabric in the $5 remnants bin at Handcock I was thrilled (except now I see faces in it…SEE THEM?!?!)

So a few coats of paint, a new piece of foam for the seat and some hot glue later…THIS!

So much better! Plus the fabric just happened to match the design on the chair back.

This sewing table used to be my grandmother’s. It’s been in our office, which holds a collection of mismatched furniture, that hopefully I’ll be updating soon. I’m planning on getting white furniture so I thought I’d update this old piece so it would match.

It had ink stains, scratches, peeling varnish and holes from where a hutch had been attached. So it took a lot of sanding to get it a point where I could paint it.

BEFORE (but after the sanding):

 AFTER:
The new drawer pulls were from Hobby Lobby.

Created some new fun artwork for my office and our guest room…

Love this frame, we used it for our wedding and it still had our guestbook instructions in it…I figured it was time for an update. So might as well use my sign-off!
Love this quote…and I think Bret Michael’s must have a copy of it too.
