Eclectic chic chair makeover~snow leopard

For as long as I can remember, my parents have had this chair in their finished basement.


I know you are reading this mom, so don't be offended, but this chair was a little dated and the fabric is a bit blah. Guess that is why you and dad sent it my way... =)

Anyway, nothing a little white paint and some snow leopard fabric can't solve.....

Eclectic window art....

You might remember this awesome window I got at the dump about a month ago.....


I finally got around to tackling a project with it. I loved the wood as is, so for once in my life I didn't paint something. I know, crazy right?

I googled vintage clip art. Some came from random google images and some came for The Graphics Fairy. I wanted to deco podge vintage map images to the window panes. Here is what I came up with.

French country coffee table

I found the greatest coffee table the other day. Great bones, but the wood was a little to dark for my taste.


Seeing that buttercream has been a favorite color of mine these days, I decided to use it yet again....

Ideas for a metal pail.....

I have quite a few metal pails around the house that have quite a few uses.


Although I don't have a picture of them with magazines, that would be an obvious use of storage.

Some other fun ideas I had were.....

Container for kindling


House plants....


And my personal favorite....fresh flowers from my garden:

Country cottage chairs

A friend of mine gave me the cutest unfinished chairs. (OOPS started to paint them before remembering to take the before picture)


They were craving white paint to give them some cottage appeal....






Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

An adorable shabby side table

There is nothing better than a couple of coats of paint. I picked up a table the other day with great bones, but boring, blah, and outdated.


A couple of the knobs were missing, so I filled the holes on the drawers and gave the remaining knobs a copper spray. I painted the piece a pretty cottage green.
