Reupholster Tutorial

This gal is one of my home girls……well we’re a stones throw from each other.  I’m tellin ya…….the Pacific NW has more talent than rain.

Speaking of rain, Molly from The Creative Maven decided she needed this tin bucket for an umbrella stand…….but being sensible as most people are in the PNW, she wasn’t going to pay the unGodly price they wanted and knew she could replicate it for much less. Once she found her tin bucket, she was in business. She made her design with 4 circles………brilliant. And before you know it……….she had herself an umbrella stand. She shows a full tutorial in case you want one too.

While we’ve got the paint out…….why not create your very own “you are special” plate. She tells you exactly what products to use on her tutorial. This plate turned out so good! You could make different versions and use them for wall art. This plate turned out so good! You could make different versions and use them for wall art.       This is brilliant!  I wish I had seen this about 4 yrs ago.  You know those balsa wood dinosaur puzzles?  How cool to paint them!  Use them to decorate your little explorer’s bedroom. She’s pretty handy with a sewing machine too…..the kind of woman that makes me GREEN!  Green with envy.   She took a cheap placemat from The Dollar Store and made a cute tool belt for her little guy.  This is where I need to suck up…….this is her recovering her chair.  A $15 chair she found at a local thrift store. I have got to be a bright teal by now.  I need to slip cover my couch Molly just in case you need more to do.      Just one of her pillows she updated her living room with.  So cute. To top it off……how about some raspberry meringues?  She thought they would make the perfect dessert during our recent heat wave…….yes we actually have heat waves here…..it doesn’t rain ALL the time.

Thank you all for your comments yesterday.  I appreciate your point of views.
