Here are some projects I recently finished:
Our sofa bed had seen better days but was still usable.
The green houndstooth check was looking worn.
I needed to figure out how I could recover
the sofa bed and still be able to open it up for guests.
The solution was part slipcover & part reupholstering.
The result: looks brand new!
The guest room make-over did not include green!
So I stripped & sanded & painted.
I love black furniture! A quick change of hardware & some pretty accessories
was all it needed. The guest room is blue & white & now just right!
The last project was an easy one. I found a painted frame that I
just loved. But what to put in this frame that wouldn't compete
with the artwork?
A mirror! The glass store cut a little mirror to fit right inside the frame.
I'm having a give-away..ends May 2!!
Go here to see my first anniversary give-away!
Carol, you are incredibly talented!! Woo Hoo! That sofa is amazing and the furniture - wow, I love it. I love black furniture also and have bits and pieces around my home.
