Hi!
A couple years ago I bought a house - my first! It's pretty old, it needs a fair bit of work, and my budget is tiny. This is where I chronicle my progress.
Come on in!
I know I said my bedroom was (finally) finished, but there was one last detail I wanted to take care of. There wasn't much furniture in the room (just the bed), so I wanted to add a small chair (even if it's just a place to pile clothes on, let's be honest!).
I picked up this 'lovely' little number at a Salvation Army thrift store for just $4.99(!):
Add a bit of fabric, a bit of sewing, and a staple gun, and...
I would have pounced on that chair like I was rabid! What great bones, and you did a terrific job making it into a stand out. I also have a thing for sequined pillows.
Thanks for popping by today and commenting. I always love a chance to meet a new blog!
Thanks! :) The pillow was a bit of a DIY project all its own... it started out as a big square grey pillow, with the sequins 'dripping' into the plain centre from the top and bottom edges like icicles (which is probably why it was considered 'christmas-y', and was only $3 after the holidays!). I ripped and cut and sewed and made the sequins the focus, and like it much much better now!
Wow, what a great job! It's so chic!
ReplyDeleteNow, THAT was a good deal!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the shape and legs of that chair. Great job on the redo!

I'm a tiny bit behind on my blog reading, but I wanted to comment and say that this chair is GORGEOUS. and I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE with that pillow.
