Valances and Magazine Rack

It wouldn't be my house if it didn't have color! In an attempt to add life to a grey and tan room, why not bring in some orange? And the records... a magazine rack.

Curved Back Chair

AFTER

BEFORE

This chair was purchased at a garage sale. It was one of the ugliest things I've ever bought! It was a gold stripe vinyl, with ivory legs. The only thing wrong with it now... I don't have a second one.

A Very Brady Bar Stool

This bar stool was found with the original vinyl seat as is. It was in mint condition. The back was  a different story. It was falling apart, scratched up, and in your typical walnut finish. A little paint and some determination later, it is much improved.

Black and White Vintage Chairs

AFTER

BEFORE

I found 4 of these chairs at a thrift store. They were some of the ugliest orange and tan corduroy that has ever existed. However, something compelled me to sit in one of them. That was it. I had to own them! They were wonderful chairs, but they needed a lot of work. I stripped the wood down from a dark walnut finish and painted them a bright glossy white and found this black and white fabric that I simply couldn't resist.

Checkerboard Table

So... I can't take all of the credit for this one. I did see the idea somewhere else painted on a memo board. I loved it and decided why not put it on a table and make it usable? It is standard checkerboard size. Now all I need is an opponent!

Bedside Table

This has been one of my FAVORITE projects. I love the color. I love style. It was originally a light birch color with a brass knob. I think my version is much better!

Custom Headboard

I really do not like the look of natural wood very much, on furniture. I do however LOVE fabric! It was so hard to find a headboard that fits my taste, so why not make one?
