Woo Hoo, I did it!

chair 10This is my latest and greatest project!  I thought I had a before to show you but alas I couldn't locate it this morning. This is a chair I found at the SA, one day I was there while they had a 15 minute sale of all furniture at 75% off.  This little honey cost me $4.99.
chair 12I sanded her down a bit and then covered her in aqua spray paint from Rustoleum.
chair 3The I rubbed her down with Raw Umber acrylic paint and rubbed most of it off with a damp cloth, leaving some in the grooves and sanded edges.

chair 6I covered the seat cushion with this Toile cloth that I picked up months ago for $.50 at the GW.  What do you think, does this qualify for "Woo Hoo Wednesday" Marla?  I think it is pretty wonderful and it is going to look so good in my bedroom redo.  The toile fabric was a kinda narrow width and I was afraid I wouldn't get to use it, but with some stretching and strategic placement I made it work.  I think it so beautiful.  Oops now I am bragging.

Harley 18Just wanted to add this little vignette on my patio.  I love this pot with the bale blue Lobelia, it just keeps blooming and blooming.  The lantern I picked up at Ross a few weeks ago for $8.99 on clearance.  The birdie is a $.50 treasure from the thrift store.  You can see the blue Florida rug peeking in the corner, yes that is for my hubby, he's nuts over the Florida Gators!  Can't blame him it is his home town team and all!  Ya'll join Marla at Always Nesting and see who has posted for "Woo Hoo Wednesday".  Oh and I am also joining Kara at Look What I made , Be Inspired at Room to Inspire. and Transformation Thursday at the Shabby Chic Cottage.

While I am thinking about it sorry if this post is a bit wonky, I loaded them very fast this morning.

  12. Marla, thank you for the sweet comment you left for me at Southern Lagniappe. I appreciate you stopping by.

    I love your pretty little chair. You did a beautiful job, and the color and fabric are perfect. She looks great on your porch, especially with that pretty wicker table and its accessories.

  13. I am inspired by your chair. I love the aqua color and want to try it out on something soon. It turned out so great! And lobelia is my favorite! I haven't found it by itself yet at the garden nursery...it's always mixed in with other flowers in big planters...I just want a pot of blue lobelia! I wonder if it is hard to grow from seed? I will keep looking. Yours is so pretty!

  15. I love your blog! I wish you were closer, too Marla. Get a small booth and try it. By looking at your blog, I think you are very talented and creative. If you have your spare time pretty much free and no young children and you like thrifting and fixing up as a hobby - you'll have no problems doing it with a full time job. Sue
