Vintage Furniture Makeover

I have a sweet little love seat that my daughter gave me a few years ago.  I have been wanting to give it a makeover because the fabric on it is not what I want.  I love the love seat and cannot part with it although my husband hates it.  It is the most comfortable couch we have.

I have been afraid to tackle this project simply because it is a big project and I have never tried my hands at this.  This tutorial has given me the courage I need to give it ago.  I even have the fabric picked out.  I just need to get measurements and get brave and get going.

Hope this tutorial will encourage you to be brave and dive into your Vintage Furniture Makover!

Gaea Ceramic Bead and Art Studio Blog: Art Bead Scene - Lucky Mom Bracelet - Free Project...:



I love the earthy feel of these beads.  They are all unique because they are handmade and not massively reproduced.  I bought a huge brick of clay last year with the intention of making my own jewelry.  That idea is still in my head and on my "Want to Make List".  I wanted to share this link with you because these pieces of jewelry are so unique and fun.  Enjoy!

So I’ve heard about the glorious chalk paint for a few months now and decided to see what all the hype was about. If you love the shabby look you will l-o-v-e chalk paint. It gives you a nice chalky  finish and makes distressing a piece of cake.
One thing I love about chalk paint is it can be used on any surface. AND {bonus} there’s no need for sanding or priming your piece  beforehand. Anything that saves me less steps–>I’m there! ;)
