Zebra Chair

I wish that I had a before picture of this chair, but unfortunately I don't. I got this chair while I was out searching for treasures with my sister in-law, Shannyn. We were at the DI, when a couple brought in four dining room chairs in practically perfect condition, at ten bucks a piece. What a freakin deal! All they needed was some stinkin cute fabric. So, Shannyn and I each scooped one up, and this is what they turned out to be:

Hello gorgeous!!

First Timer!

Alright, so I have never refinished a piece of furniture, until now! I have this little side table, I use it as a nightstand.

Pretty dang boring, I know. But, this little guy serves his purpose. He gives me a place to put my alarm clock, my hair ties, bobby pins, a drink of water in case I decided I needed a drink in the middle of the night. All around, a very dependable, reliable nightstand. How can I possibly show my appreciation?! I decided he deserved a makeover!

So, I sanded and sanded and sanded, painted, sanded and stained.

The end result:

Ta da!!!

I don't know about you, but I am sure in love with it! This was just a small project, I look forward to doing much bigger projects. On the ajenda: headboard and dresser (they are sitting in my garage, begging for a makeover!) So, look for those projects to come!

Frames

One of the first things that I started making when I got into scrapbooking, crafting, etc. was frames. My husband is somewhat handy and he would go out to his dad's barn, whip me out a few to give me something to do. I would make them as gifts, put them up in the house, whatever. Just give me a frame, some stinkin' cute paper, accesories such as ribbon or buttons, and some modge podge, I am set for a good hour or two! Here are some that I made recently.

The last two are probably my favorite. I just love the paper. It is from a company called Scribble Scrabble. I picked it up in a pack at the Scrapbook expo this year. I bought alot of their paper, it was freakin cute!
