Shabby Burlap Chair...

This week was full of lots of fun little projects.

One morning this week, I sat in my office with 

my morning cup of tea & opened the curtains to see

 a treasure sitting right outside my window.

My neighbors were throwing out this lovely little

chair that had so much potential, so me, having no

shame, marched right over to the trash pile &

took it home to bring it back to life...

Before:

Okay. So maybe I don't blame my neighbors for throwing

this little beast away... It had seen better days.

After:

A fresh coat of white paint & a little simple shabby

method was just the beginning of bringing this

lovely chair back to life. 

I decided to only distress this chair a little bit

because let's face it.. it was a little too rough

before & that wasn't pretty.

The burlap fabric is a perfect rustic textile for

this chair. It accents the shabby chic feel of the 

chair & who doesn't love some burlap?

That cute pillow you ask? I made that! I will

be sharing a blog post on how I made it

this week....

It just makes me so happy to see something from

the trash become beautiful again... maybe

that's why I love what I do.

Today has been one of the laziest days of my life, & it feels amazing!

let's just way we had a little too much fun

  with amazing friends at the Marine Corps Ball last night, I will

do a blog post of pictures this week of my handsome marine & I.

This four day weekend with my husband was perfect & much needed,

back to work tomorrow.. I hope each one of you had an amazing

weekend with whatever you did.. talk to you soon!
