Finished


Remember this beauty from my previous post....



Drum roll please......She is all done!




All the cushion are handmade, and the fabric was purchased at Home Goods (I heart). It is the most comfortable and adorabel rocker ever. I am extremely pleased with the end result.


P.s. I can't forget to thank Mr. F for helping me fix the springs. XOXO.

Jewelry/music box

I have been in the search for a jewelry box for some time now. However I was not looking for a vintage one. I picked up this beauty at my favorite antique/consignment shop, Chic and Unique in SLC. I paid 25 dollars for it.




One of the Drawer pulls, was missing. However to my surprise the broken drawer pull was in one of the drawers (yippee). It was nothing a little super glue couldn't fix. When you open the bottom drawer it plays 'rain drops are falling on my head.' My Mother is the one who recognized the tune. This dates this piece to the 70's.




I painted the jewelry box white, and antiqued it by using sand paper. Now it's perfectly shabby chic.

Table chairs

From bland.....

......To Fab

We had a local upholstery store closing it's doors for good. Yesterday was their last day, and all upholstery was 70% off. It's a good thing because I would never spend 40 dollars a yard on fabric. I found this lovely print which I loved from the moment I saw it. It was the last of the bolt, and I barely had enough to redo all four of our chairs. This was a very inexpensive way to spice up our table chairs and give them character.
