chair makeover {and a sale!}

I don't know what the weather is where y'all are but here in NC ... it's RAINY & YUCKY!

But it's the perfect day for chair makeovers and sewing! :)

Remember all the new fabric I showed y'all a couple weeks ago? I'm getting started with some pillows out of some of those ... Now the hard part is going to be choosing which to use first!

I also found this CUTE little side chair the other day and have BIG things in store for it ...

Can't wait for y'all to see!

So I'm sure y'all are wondering what SALE I'm talking about ... Artisans is having their annual WINTER SALE this Saturday & Sunday! EVERYTHING in the store will be 10% off ... Including everything in The PC ... And those AWESOME farmhouse and Obrien & Shridde frames will be an additional 10% off! These are the perfect Valentine's Day present to get your love (or self!) started with these awesome collections!

So if you've been thinking that a road-trip is in store ... This MIGHT just be the perfect weekend to head to Greenville! :) (hey, worth a shot!)

Happy Wednesday y'all! xo!

{a little} distracted

In a good way, of course! :)

I woke up this morning to POURING rain ... {ugh}

But it meant that I didn't immediately feel the need to set out and start doing all of the running around I NEED to do!

So instead I made-over those little footstools I showed y'all yesterday!

And I am SERIOUSLY in l-o-v-e! I think they turned out TOO cute!

The little metal one proved to be a little more difficult than I had originally planned ... Had to rip off LAYERS of outdated (yes, that's faded velvet) fabric before I could get that cute new yellow fabric on there! And in my humble opinion ... it turned out INCREDIBLY adorable! :)

My original plan was to re-paint the green one but after I held the honeysuckle color sand dollar fabric up to it, I decided to just give the original color a shot! I like it ... Especially after hitting it with some sandpaper to shabby it up ... just a LITTLE!

What do you think? Would you put one in your house?

Heading to Gracie's now to get better pics of my booth ... The only ones I have right now are on my iPhone and they just don't it justice! I promise they're coming! :)
