I have a hard time saying no to vintage aluminum chairs. They are such a summer icon and can come in some great colors. Sadly, some of ours have had so much use, the webbing had become threadbare and brittle. I wasn’t sure one of them would last another summer, so I decided to see…

You will post your photo on the distributor's website and have your friends and family vote for you to win! Now, do you want to see how we transformed that great dresser up above? Here is how this piece looked when it came into our shop this past summer! We had to stabilize the mirror and a few loose pieces. But overall this is a very solid piece. I was inspired by a sample we did at a recent Train The Trainer session in Spokane with the marvelous Barb Skivington! Our base coat is Primer Red. Second coat is Aubusson Blue. Next we used Artisan Enhancement foil size and their wonderful rolls of foil on a backing -- so much easier to work with than leaf! Finally we did a layer of Duck Egg Blue, which we left in crevices to accent the carved details and drug off with a damp cloth in some areas. Clear wax and distress to get down to the Primer Red and to knock back the bright gilding! And voila! A dreamy finish to honor a beautiful old piece. We also found that a previous owner had listed his/her US Savings bond purchase in pencil along the side of the top drawer! We are preserving that part for someone to enjoy a little history of the piece!

by Tim Johnson Visit any antique or second-hand furniture store and you’ll find great old chairs—such as these solid cherry ladderbacks—that are bargain priced because their woven seats have worn out.

We always seem to need more seating during Mommy Happy Hours and when we have guests over, so I have been keeping an eye out for something fun for our living room. My first thought

I'm so excited to finally share my finished craft room makeover with you! You've seen bits and pieces in the past few weeks, but now you get to see... Just to make sure this post can live up to all the "hype" above, let me remind you of what the room looked like before. Yeah, it's bad. I know. But I think I can regain my bloggy street cred now. This is the view from the door now... Remember that I gave the walls a fresh coat of paint with the perfect gray. My refurbished hutch is against the far wall. My dad and I made the table on the right. My revamped lamp is on the table, and my striped, embellished frame is on the wall in a grouping with other frames and art. This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE area of the room!!! I love everything about it! I love the rustic-ness of the table paired with the feminine elements. The camera art block is something that was for sale in my Etsy shop, but I decided to keep it for myself. My dollar store cupcake stand is the perfect size to hold a vintage tin that belonged to my grandmother. The printable in the white frame came from Landee See, Landee Do. I DIY-ed the different frames with spray paint and scrapbook paper. The oval magnetic board started out as a metal tray from the dollar store, and the book-page B is another DIY project. The hutch in the corner of the room added much needed storage. I used different containers to organize all my little do-das that I use for crafting behind the glass doors. And I couldn't help but create a couple of little vignettes on the surface of the hutch. I picked up the owl at Home Goods. The other pieces I just had sitting around. I'm sure you saw the window beside the hutch. Did you see the valance I made? The best thing is that the valance and its twin on the other window cost me nothing! I used supplies I already had. Beside the window is my brand new corner desk. The base of the desk is the file cabinets that I already had, but I revived them with paint and new handles. My dad and I just created another top for them. (You know the deal. There will be a tutorial soon!) I bought the rug from Urban Outfitters. The seating for the desk is the bench I "collected" from my neighbor's trash. I love the decor on the wall above the desk. I made over the mirror and created the wreath from a dollar store wreath form. The other decor on the desktop is mainly stuff I DIY-ed too. I created the to-do board and the curio shelf, as well as the wire bulletin board. The lamp was a brass thrift store find that I spray painted and bought a new shade for. There's another window to the left of the desk, and beside that is my laminate bookcase that I revived. The swallow art and chevron frame are from previous tutorials. The little deer blocks are for sale in my Etsy shop. The other wall is pretty much taken up by a closet with sliding doors, so I didn't take any pictures of it. And our tour ends where it started. (I had to take a shot with my lamp turned on.) This makeover was A LOT of work, but I really did enjoy it. I love the fact that I pretty much DIY-ed the whole room. I didn't realize how many of my projects are in the room until I started writing this post! I love that it has given me so much material to blog about. (As I'm sure you figured out by now, there will be lots of tutorials to come!) I hope you like the room half as much as I love it. It makes me happy to walk in the room and look around. It's sooooo different from how it started. I have to admit that a couple of times I've just lain on the floor and absorbed the uncluttered, peacefulness of the room. And I've really enjoyed doing some projects on my new desk. So if you have a room that needs a makeover, just go for it! It will be a lot of work and there will be some bumps in the road, but you will feel so much better when it's made over, especially if you DIY! :)
