Ok here’s a little project  I worked on this weekend. I found 4 of these nightstands at a yard sale and got all of them for $17! 

I immediately thought one of them would be a nice companion for the chair I reupholstered a couple weeks ago.  (See that here)  So I decided to give it a little paint, a little fabric and a little TLC this weekend. 

I used a glossy white spray paint and didn’t prime it or use a heavy coat because I wanted to keep the wood grain look.

Of course as always I had great help!

Here’s the finished product! 

And close up shots of the lamp shade I recovered.  I had no idea what I was doing but once I found a needle and thread I figured the rest out. 

 I found the material and cute ruffle at JoAnn’s fabric.

And here’s the final shot with the chair.  A nice little set if you ask me! 

This project was very cheap and very easy.  I have several more items lined up to do something fun with so stay tuned!

So excited to show off my latest undertaking… reupholstering.  My sister and I decided to go yard selling last weekend.  We considered ourselves very lucky to find a couple of old chairs for $2 and $5.  They were hideous and in serious need of updating so we stopped by Walmart… got some cheap fabric and spray paint and got to work.
Here’s a before shot of the one I got for $5 from a little old man sitting in front of his garage with a “Yard Sale” sign.

Luckily, I have a friend that had some tree branches that could be used for the frame.  And he also agreed to nail it together for me!  Gotta love having friends that are handy with tools.

The final product!  Ready to hang on my front door and welcome the Fall season!
