Sideboard Cabinet thingy

I re-did this for the shop I work at. I was limited on the colors I could paint it so I did the best I could with what I had.

First things first, I made a new larger cushion for this stool. After, I re-upholstered it with some new canvas fabric I got from a local fabric store. I painted the legs a soft matte black.

Simple Stool

I don't have a before photo but I can guarantee you the fabric was not so cute. I reupholstered it using a black and white vintage fabric I'd found at a garage sale.

This stool now resides happily in my living room.

New Year

I'm writing here because part of my resolution was to actually write in this blog. &Although I'm not exactly sure what to talk about at the moment I'm still updating it so that is all that matters... Today is day 4 with no caffeine.. My head feels like it wants to explode. I'm assuming it's from withdrawals but I was hoping this part would be over by now.

Of course, another resolution was to be more crafty. Hopefully my next blog will include photos as proof of me doing so. I have so many projects to complete. &I also need to get an etsy store up & running. <3

Jewelry Box

I found this little vintage jewelry box at a local thrift store. Before it was just a plain, scratched up brown wood. I sanded it and painted it a glossy aqua color.

Music Box

Sorry for the bad photos. I quickly snapped a picture of it before someone bought it. This was just a plain light wood. I sanded it and painted it a glossy olive green color.
