Meet Me On Monday #5~Decor with fabric

Welcome to "Meet Me On Monday" #5. Last weeks theme was painted furniture. Although I loved them all, here are a few that really jumped off the page at me.

Primitive & Proper

Vanilla Bean

The Savvy Shanty

This week we are linking up FABRIC projects. I can't even imagine how many different ideas are out there. Here is a stool I quickly reupholstered with vintage fabric to go in my bathroom.

Now for the rules.....

1.Please link your specific post, not your blog
2.No giveaway or Etsy shop links
3.Grab my button or link my party somewhere on your blog

Next weeks party will be any DIY project that is BLUE! It can be furniture, food, clothing, flowers you grew, etc.....

I have a new blog!

Yes, this is way off topic from home decor and design, but I really wanted to share this with all of my faithful readers. I have started a new blog that many of you may be interested in, and I hope to have you follow along....

You can check it out HERE.....

I promise it won't take away from what I do here....Design and decor will continue as usual....

Chair with Anthropologie appeal

I found this lovely ugly chair at Goodwill the other day....I knew it had much potential.

Some cranberry OOPS paint, a bit of distressing, and some vintage fabric I purchased for 25 cents from a tag sale.

I also picked up a boring side table....

I used my favorite blue paint that I am addicted to at the moment and came up with this.....

Bright blue hope chest

Sorry I've sort of been missing this week. A lot has been going on and blogging was put on the back burner. I do have a really cool piece to share with you though. My father got an amazing hope chest for me for free. It dates 1942. Here is the before.

And of course...the after....

Only two days left to link up to my furniture makeover linky party...

French country desk/vanity

Sorry I have missed posting for a day or so and even commenting on other blogs. Anyway, I am back today with a new project. I found a desk at Goodwill and obviously decided a makeover was necessary.

Of course I started to prime before taking the before photo, but at least you can get the idea.

To maintain the french country appeal this piece already had going on, I chose to use white and buttercream paint. In addition, I painted the knobs and pulls white and distressed them.

Have a great weekend....

A teen boys gallery wall

Right before Christmas we completed the renovation of our 15 year old son RJ's room.

You can see the renovation from beginning to end HERE.

He totally loves it and being a teen, definitely spends time in there. The one and only problem is all of the wall space. The ceilings are 11 ft high, so there is plenty of empty space. It could cost a small fortune to decorate in here. Recently we thought of a solution though....A few years back RJ started drawing on his own. He inherited my aunt and uncles talent of becoming a natural born artist. Trust me, he did not get this from Randy or myself. Anyway, he has been saving his drawings and I came across a few free frames the other day. I decided we could start a gallery wall to fill the space. We only have a small section done, but I will continue to look for thrift store or tag sale frames, and shortly, RJ will have an awesome gallery wall.

Can you tell who all of the drawings are of?

On another note, have you linked your POLKA DOT projects up yet?
