Pew Pillow

Our breakfast nook certainly would not be turning into such a cozy little nook without our 50.00 Craigslist church pew find.

Henry fixed it all up with stability legs and paint and I ordered the custom made cushion from none other than the Cushion Source. Their website was super easy to navigate and for a 145.00 I created exactly what I needed.

I picked an indoor/outdoor fabric for durability. Can you imagine all the orange juice and cereal pieces that are going to be spilled over the years? The cover zips off for easy washing and the fabric will not fade from the sunshine. Do you think Cushion Source is hiring?

Can you stand it? So stinkin' cute (get it? Pew! Har har har)

Garbage to Glam

Remember the chairs I found in the trash?

I am Wild Berry about the way they turned!

Henry and I saved these beauties from a bonfire, or worse, a life in a landfill! They were in a garbage pile up the road. I shutter at the thought of what would have happened if we hadn't shamelessly pulled up, jumped out and nabbed these perfectly useful chairs...and then dig through the trash for the missing leg.

 Henry fixed the broken leg.

Then, I got started on the makeover.

I primed them first with spray paint. I usually skip this step, because I am lazy. I thought with the dark color and wanting them to last I would take the time to assure a long life.

Wild Berry Pink Spray Paint Please! 

Here is the stencil I made a while back. 

Considering it is made from regular old computer paper, I glued it down with Rubber Cement and painted with caution.

The stencil was strong enough for 2 chairs and lucky for me...2 chairs is what I have!

For a clear visual...

AFTER

I hauled the chairs on the front steps to give the design a quick coat of clear spray paint. Then it was time to dry dry dry and back to the kitchen nook!

Breakfast is becoming better and better!

Moss Wreath

I have been itching to make a moss wreath. Yep, you read that right. Google "moss wreath" images and you will see gobs of super cute designs. Last night I spent one hour, no lie, one hour making this beauty...

Supplies:
Wreath
Moss in a bag
A couple of cheap butterflies

I hot glued the moss to the wreath...

Shot the butterflies with some white spray paint, of course, and clipped them on...

 Tied it up with a yellow ribbon...

and that's it, eeeasy cheeesy!
