Piano stool upcycle makeover , shabby chic

 

This piano stool was the right price and had potential.  

A vintage stool.  It has seen better days.  It needed to be recovered and painted.  I like the size a great place to stack books, drop your purse or with a tray a resting spot for a plant.

I removed the top and the Naugahyde cover off of it.  I found a Waverly curtain panel at the good will for two bucks.

This will make the perfect cover.  

I cut the curtain to fit added some batting for a little extra padding and grabbed the stapler.

  One leg was damaged on the bottom so I sanded it level and put a furniture leg pad on it to prevent a wabble.  

The base I sanded and painted with Dixie Belle mud puddle paint color, distressed, applied clear wax then dark to age it. 

The color Mud Puddle has mauve to pink undertones to it and matched the rose fabric perfectly.

She is priced and will go to Vintage Collections in Camden SC on June 6th

Now if I could have this much fun pulling weeds out of the sidewalk.

May you always find potential in everything.

Bench Make Over using chalk paint and curtains

I will openly admit that I am not an candidate for the upholstery industry!  I covered wrestled this bench for several days to get the old off and half a day to get the new on.  I like the way it turned out but boy am I bushed!

I found this item at the Goodwill and the first time I spotted it , it was too expensive for the work that had to go into it.  I left it with a little regret it has great lines and legs.  I went back by on a whim that it may still be there and it was marked down 10 dollars.  I could afford it and justify the work, that it would take, by it being cheap.

Here are the befores:

Yep pretty gnarly!  

The afters:

Not bad...well ignore the dog hair ..I GIVE UP!

This was a lengthy project but well worth it.  I would like to tell you how I did it but I just grabbed it and growled. The fabric is a curtian and the legs were done with Southern Honey Jackson black chalk paint with Annie Sloan clear wax and distressing to finish them off. 

Hope this post finds you warm!
