shab to chic!

Happy Friday, Everyone!

 I know my posts have been less frequent this week, but I have been crazy busy with some very exciting new pieces!

So, for my wonderful followers, I have a cute little redo to makeup for it and hold you over until the upcoming reveal!

This little chair was headed for the trash and I just thought she was way too cute and had too much character to banish her to the garbage just yet..

I wasn't sure what to do with her...

No brilliant ideas came to mind right away.

This old gal needed to be sanded..and..sanded...and wood filled..and wood filled some more..

When I was finally happy with the repair work, I started the fun part. 

I painted it in Annie Sloan's "Old White" and then decided to add a black seat for some contrast and pizazz..

I found a really awesome stencil and thought this would be the perfect project to try it out on!

So, with a lot of elbow grease, this old chair went from shab to fab! (I'm allowed to be cheesy, sheesh!)

And here's a close up of the stencil work..

(I think it's an address..in French...I really should have paid attention in that class..) 

So there yah have it, folks! Not the most exciting transformation but hey, if I can save a piece from the dump, I feel I have accomplished something!

Here she is again, just because she's cute.

Have a great weekend!
