I've been doing some home decorating projects over the past few weeks.
I painted this a long time ago back in Wisconsin. It hung in my dining room at the condo for years, but the colors just don't "go" with any room in my house.
I started by painting it back to brown.
Then I repainted the blocks with white, tan, red, green, and orange. Now that I see it in my living room, I'm thinking the orange I chose wasn't quite, well, "orange" enough.
I used to think that slipcovers were so old-fashioned and ugly. I've changed my opinion entirely. Can you believe this chair used to be pink?! The key is to go for the stretchy kind with a separate seat cushion. This is the "Surefit Stretch Pique Separate Seat" in Sage.
I found this tray at Ikea for just $8. But it wasn't quite the right color. So...
I took it apart.
...and stained the wood in ebony. This was coat one of FIVE...
...and spray painted the bottom black. It turned out fantastic!
While I was at Ikea, I picked up a bunch of picture frames. I think I'll hang them in my upstairs hallway. That's going to take a lot of patience with a level.
