on furniture, flowers and friends

Being in a new house has a way of motivating me to do all the little decorating projects I've been putting off.  I painted and recovered an old chair I got for $15 on my birthday.  I realized too late that I never took a "before" photo of my chair so I dug this one out of the archives.  It's more fun anyway because it also has my sweet friends in it (whom I miss so very much already).

And now that old chair looks like this...

The fabric came from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Sew Love Fabrics.  They have the best selection and incredibly fast shipping (I got my order in two days!)
We used the same paint on our beat up old coffee table and now it looks like new as well.  Today I looked at it's bare, shiny surface and realized how much I miss my flowers.  I went hunting around outside and found some things for a vase and now my table looks like this...

Proof that you can always find something worth bringing in.
