I have to shake things up around here every few months. At the moment, the den/kitchen/breakfast room is getting a mini makeover.
I have plans for a backsplash redo. I am taking down all of the curtains. I have made a bee-u-ti-ful seashell mirror that I will be sharing soon. I want to paint the walls, but G-Man is so attached to the Old World finish that is on there now – so not sure how that will turn out. I recently painted a new finish on one of the tables in the den that I have yet to show too. But, the little bench that lives under it got a mini makeover this weekend.
Be kind... I didn’t do a great job with the stencil, but I learned a LOT from my mistakes!
I loved it before, but I am trying to lighten things up a little.
I still LOVE this fabric. Maybe I will use it to make a pillow.
I took it back to ugly for a minute.
Then I made a big mess on the kitchen table.
I should have positioned our name higher but too bad, so sad, I didn’t!
83 is the year that we got married.
I wanted to let the seam and the tag show from the burlap coffee bag.
I love that part.
I definitely neutralized it. I like it so much better now.

I just added a few pieces of vintage silver plate to my mix and match collection
G-Man brought me these lovely roses today. I almost cried!
Love these…
and these…
and these…
these too!
My favorite.
Actually, these are my favorite. Thanks, baby!
Alex has finished the makeover in her bathroom downstairs. I love what she did. And, our walk-out-basement is getting a nice facelift thanks to her!
She is starting the bedroom makeover tomorrow.

What a sweet little bench makeover. Well done! Visiting from Metamorphosis Monday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job with the burlap. The stencil is fabulous. Silverware collections are always fun.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, I don't know what I like best from this post! LOVE burlap with stenciling. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE any silver! And, what's not to love about a hubby bringing roses???
ReplyDeleteWow. I love it both ways. Glad you're going to use the old fabric in a pillow. Just found your blog and will look at everything from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteYour little stool is adorable. I really like how you left the seam and tag showing. It adds such character. Working with stencils can be intimidating and believe me I have ruined some fabric a few times!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job and wonderful idea.
hugs

Rhonda, I love that stool. Looks great to me. I have tried stenciling, too and it must take practice to get things lined up correctly.
