Another Before and After Chair

I got this chair at the Salvation Army for $8. It is for a local children's advocacy group for their annual festival of chairs. It needed a little cleaning up and frame work, so I did all that then painted it Krylon Emerald Green, then went over it with some black glze. I covered the seat in cotton duck zebra fabric and used gorilla glue for the pink trim. I stenciled on a couple of designs and added a few jewels and some black trim and it was done!

Chair Revamp

I found this old chair at Goodwill. It was hideous but still solid, and I wanted to glaze it so I liked the ornate detail. I sprayed it Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze and went over it w/my Ralph Lauren faux glaze. I had previously ripped off the fruity goodness of a chair cushion in hope that something better might be under there--not a chance, just granny gold. I wanted a bright orange and white damask, but no luck finding any so I got some black and white quatrefoil print.

Before and After Canvas

I drove by a friend of mine's garage sale after it was over and saw a couple of canvases sitting by the trash. I asked her about it and she said come and get them. Just did the first one today; here it is.

Before and After Kitchen Mirror/Table

I got a wild hair today to paint, which wasn't the best idea since it's pouring down rain. But anyway, I decided the mirror needed to be a chalkboard instead. You can paint right over the mirror glass so I did that. I did about 3 coats of chalkboard paint that I've had here forever. After that dried I covered it w/tape and painted the metal some old Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze that I had leftover. I didn't have any off white spray paint, which is what I wanted to paint the table so I used some oil based semi-gloss paint that was leftover from the last time we painted the kitchen. I used a roller but it still doesn't look its best. I am going to go over it with a can of Krylon as soon as I get some. Now that dark little corner is quite brightened up!

Picture Frame Redo

I just can't get enough white, silver and blue. Updated picture frame. Flat white krylon, distressed with fine grit sandpaper and added some metallic silver on top. Oh and replaced the picture with my current favorite design print, quatrefoil!

Silhouettes

I love sihouettes and wanted to do them myself. Not as great as having them drawn of course but I think these look like the girls! I did it exactly like I did Laney's ornament. Took a profile pic, traced it from the computer screen, cut it out precisely and painted it black. Put all three in a frame on some scrap paper I had. Free!

My Craft "Room"

My laundry room is now a laundry room and no longer creation station. I now have a perfectly organized (well for the most part) area in the garage. And since I don't cook, look what I used the spice rack for. Loving it!

More of Kendall's room

I still have to add a lot of detail; I'm afraid by the time I'm done she'll be ready for something totally different.
