Walnut Bench To Go Please!

This year I have transformed more pieces of furniture than any other year! I hope you all are not getting bored with more furniture transformations than decorating.


Here we go with this Walnut Bench found in this state...


Very nice lines and very sturdy. Sometimes I want to just leave it as is when it's a good piece of wood but for whatever reason, it just doesn't sell as well in my booth!

Then an old high school friend asked me to paint a third rocker for her third granddaughter. She gave me information like, cute pigs, and flowers.

















 I hope that Josi gets a lot of

A Tufted Beauty!

Meet the new stool in my life!

This one is full of charm, like most of them are, however, this one is tufted and oh so soft.

I first met this gal at a summer garage sale. She spoke to me when I passed her, but I paid little attention. I was on the hunt for something else.

Then, I looked down and saw her...





She was ripped and tired of her overcoat and she was even broken underneath. I

Just a couple of things that I whipped up today...

Solution to a Hole in my Vintage Tapestry!

Isn't it funny when you just can't think of a solution to a problem and someone walks up and gives it to you on a silver platter? In this case, I had picked up an old tapestry. The problem: a hole right in the middle of it. Too big to repair without notice. One day, my lovely daughter, Lisa says, "why don't you just cover a stool with it!"

I just happened to pick up this very old and very

Iron Bench!

Last year during garage sale season, I picked up an old iron bench.




I reupholstered it and put in my booth for sale.







Oops, I forgot to take a before picture...
I found the fabric that I thought would mimic the iron detail at Hobby Lobby.

Little Toile Stool & Funny Ad!

I have re-vamped a little stool with paint, tassel fringe and bird toile fabric. I think it turned out really cute and reflects my taste and style.

I originally purchased the material from Ballard Designs on clearance for either some pillows or a to make a new valance for my bay window in the dining room. However, when looking for something to use to upholster this stool, I decided to use

Old No. 1 Stool

I was lazy a week or so ago and didn't take before pictures. Actually, I was overwhelmed with fixer projects that I just didn't take the time.

However, this stool is an old wooden stool that has a rotating two-step, step stool attached. It was painted a lovely light and happy green and my intention was to leave it alone. But upon closer inspection, it needed some small repairs which caused me to
