Burlap & Stencil Chair

By -



Whenever I see a sad, ugly chair at a garage sale or thrift store, I scoop it up. I love a good underdog story and I'm determined with a little TLC to make these chair shine!

This chair had great bones, but just needed a fresh coat of paint and a serious fabric upgrade. It's not heinous, but it kind of screams Grandma's House.



I pulled off the old fabric and covered the chair with burlap. Then I made a stencil and added  one of my favorite numbers. Very simple and I loved how it turned out.

This is so great! I LOVE the stencil!

Okay, have we already had the conversation about how I have that same fabric that I will be making curtains from for my bedroom?

If so, sorry.

If not, I do. : )

Your chair is so pretty now! I love rescuing old chairs, too. Those kind are my favorite, because the seats are so easy to redo and the fabric you choose always has such a great impact on the finished product. That one has really nice lines, and I love the carvings.

I have a sewing rocker in this same style but with even sadder (uglier) looking velour fabric. I really need to do something like this with it. This is MUCH prettier!

Love your chair, and love the stencil on it. Love anything burlap and double delight when it is stenciled with a number. Thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
