Pins I Tried: Photo Transfers

I think I need an intervention…

For my thrifting addiction. I can’t seem to stop myself. This hobby of mine is getting out of control. I see beautiful old pieces of furniture with great lines, and solid construction and I. MUST.

Painted upholstery

I wanted to just write up a quick “how-I-did-it” for the painted chairs I posted about here. I first heard of painting furniture from this Pinterest pin… Kristy Swain at Hyphen Interiors painted a thrifted chair for her bedroom.

In fact, I’ve kind of felt like him… I could bore you with the details of why, but I won’t because I realize what a dope I am for sweating the small stuff. But, the other day I was on Facebook and saw a post from one… Read More

Thrifty Thursday

So, I did it! I painted the living room chairs! Here’s a picture of them before. Pay no mind to the mess behind it! And here they are now! Love the way the look, but they feel scratchy! Ugh! I had sanded them down and they felt much better, but then they also looked like they were dusty/old. My husband… Read More
