Ottoman
This is another item I received from my neighbor that was moving. I wanted to go with something that would match the couch and give a modern look. So I took it apart and painted the bottom to match my buffet table and then I found this green fabric from Joann's and there you have it! Comments would be really nice.

Throw Pillows
I inherited this couch and pillows from my neighbor that was moving. The previous colors of the pillows were brown and khaki. So I got this pattern from All Things Thrifty for pillow inserts and went at it. This is the results! Aren't they super cute?

Toy Chest
My daughter needed a new toy box for a really long time. I found this at the local thrift store and knew that I could make something that she will love!!! She loves pink a lot and a while a go I made some letters to go on her wall and they were pink and brown. I then search for the perfect fabric and came across Fabric.com and found the perfect fabric to cover the toy box. It took some time getting the fabric but I think it was worth getting the right fabric. So painted the inside and covered the box and there you have it!

Wing Chair
This has been a month in the making!!!! When I first started this project I didn't know that I was going to run into problems. Many lessons learned but I'm finally pleased with the results. So true story....took 9 hours to take off all of the original fabric and it took a total of 3 days stretched out in a 3 week period to finish. make sense?
Lesson one learned: listen to other people that have reupholstered! I read a post from All Things Thrifty about leaving the original fabric on the arms of the chair. I however took mine off and had a WONDERFUL time trying to get it back one. again, lesson learned. Next came the cushion seat. I swear that was going to be the death of me. But I finally got it taken care of and I think it looks pretty good. So some wonderful comments would be soooooo appreciated!!! Thank you! now enjoy the fruits of my labor!

Armoire
I did this project for one of my friends. She wanted her dresser to have a update, modern feel and wanted it to match some green she had in the room. So, I decided to do the dresser in two tones and distress the top coat so the green would show through. It was a lot of work but I'm pleased with the results. The after pictures don't have the handles because we hadn't decided on one. I will post the after picture with the handles on.
