Chair Makeover

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I just loved reading all your comments! You all make my day!
I also want to thank Kara over at Creations by Kara for featuring my Ruffled Shower Curtain! You can see it here if you missed it. Make sure you stop by Kara's blog and see all the amazing creations, they are all so inspiring.

This week I"m going to share a little make over with you. I bought this chair  several years ago, I actually liked it back when I bought it, and WOW has my taste changed.

So instead of selling it I decided to change it up a bit, that was only after it sat in my garage for several years.

Before

All it took was a spray can of primer, black satin paint, material and NERVES.

I've never painted any "thing" big, like FURNITURE.

After

Whatcha think?

I love it! I just need a find a place to put it. I seriously have an addiction with chairs...

And that little cutie who snuck into the picture is one of two little cuties we recently adopted.

Meet Sylvester & his brother Dexter (just like the mischievous monkey on Night at the Museum).

Since I was on a roll with my chair redo I decided to finally do something about these barstools. Remember,  I bought them off craigslist back in November 2009, you can see that post here! I couldn't turn down the great deal (knowing they were never going to fit properly under my counter). They've sat in my garage ever  since. That was until last week, I had hubby cut the legs down 5 inches. Now they fit perfectly under my counter! I measured one leg then used a level to mark the other 3!

Hopefully I've inspired someone out in blogland to tackle their pile of furniture in their garage. You will be surprised with what you come up with! Plus you'll make your hubby happy to get his garage back. Thank you so much for stopping by! If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment!
