OK. So this post has nothing to do with my kids. It is a design re-do. I was inspired by the new show Flea Market Flip. I love that show! There was an episode where one of the teams found some chairs, painted them high gloss black and reupholstered the cushions with burlap. I loved the look.
Not the original from the show, but you get the idea.
Well, here's what I had - 2 chairs from an old dining room set that we now use as a computer desk. We don't use all the chairs that came with the table so this is perfect. Cost $0 (well, we paid $100, I think, for the dining set many years ago when we actually used it as a dining table).
Not bad but I want my vision. Start with black paint. All over the chair. Both of them. Let it dry, then lightly sand the edges and the seat. Now it's coming together.
I have several jute feed sacks that we got years ago for a family reunion we were hosting. We used them for family sack races but they've been sitting in a box for years. I cut one of them to make two cushions/pillows for my chairs. I wanted the graphic print to show because I am putting this in a corner where I have a painting of Memphis and I wanted that to tie together. I had a brown, round table that I just moved to this new spot. I love it! Now it just needs some crate shelving on the right wall and a rug to finish this entry area. I am working on the rug - crocheting tee shirt yarn.
What do you think? I hope it will serve as a little homework area for the little one when school starts back in August.
Be blessed!
