Now that the craziness of Christmas is over and the kids are back in school, I was able to finish a little project--a chair mini makeover.
I say mini, because it didn't need much done. Just a coat of white paint, and distressing ( I kept the existing seat cover).
Right now it's sitting in the corner of my dining nook, and paired with a faux grain sack pillow.
I got a new camera for Christmas, so hopefully after I learn to use it properly, my pictures will continue to improve. Funny thing is, I just barely learned some cool tricks on my really old point and shoot camera. Maybe I'll take a photography class so it doesn't take years to learn.
I also got these cute nesting doll measuring cups. I originally saw them at Urban Outfitters, but finally snatched them up one day when i spied them at JC Penny's {coupon in hand}.
I'm off to move some furniture around, and pump myself up for some bigger paint jobs.
keep primping,

The chair is very pretty and the nesting dolls are sweet. Love the simpe white color. Happy Monday =)
ReplyDeleteSweet makeover Michele! I have a chair similar to that and I need to get busy painting and recovering it. Love the little nesting cups too!
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks great Michele, those measuring cups are adorable. Your pictures look good too. I'm figuring out my new camera and also thinking of taking a photography class. It might be fun.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great! I love those measuring cups. What kind of camera did you get?

Chairs are one of my favorite things to do. You can get so creative with them and they add so much fun to a room (but can easily be removed!) I'm with you on the photography class...something I'd love to do this spring. Have a great day!
