Here's a little piece
I bought recently at one of my favorite
thrift stores, Class and Trash.
I love picking up little benches,
stools, ottomans, etc,
because they are so cute
and don't take a lifetime to work on,
like a chair can!
I have so many fabric remnants so I can
always come up with something fun...
Plus, they sell well in my booths….
They aren't that expensive - usually $100 or less -
easy to put in the trunk of the car,
(so the mister or missus doesn't know
you bought another piece of furniture!)
Retail therapy!
Yeah, you deserve it!!!
Here's what I did:
I unscrewed and removed the top,
and painted the wood frame in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
in French Linen.
Here it is after one coat.
It will take another coat and a waxing to finish the frame.
Then I covered the top with foam and batting.
For the upholstery,
I used some leftover damask scraps,
a shower curtain valance,
and some burlap printed wide ribbon.
Here it is…
all finished and decked out in its new duds.
Frenchy and fun.
And for sale. $99.
It's at my booth at
Heading there for Thanksgiving,
so let me know if I can pick it up for you!
