Chalk Painting an Old Chair via SewWoodsy.com created for Homes.com

  Last year, while on a random trip to my local Goodwill store I found a chair. This said chair (see above picture) was a whopping $6.99. I couldn't pass it up. Ever since my friend Sarah at While They Snooze did a Side Chair Makeover for her sewing room. I knew I could do this easy project. Well, when we started brainstorming with our friends over at Homes.com about content creation for our new video series my chair came to mind. It was a project I had wanted to tackle for a while now. … [Read more...]

Tufting a Bench 31

Mr. Woodsy and I started our first project for our Master Bedroom Revamp Project yesterday. My Great Aunt Millie (who is 89 years young) gave us a beautiful bench before moving into an assisted living home.
