Think you can't afford cottage style? I say you can! How about under $40.00.

Have you passed by these beauties at thrift or yard sales?
My favorite bones to work with! These are the easiest pieces to transform! Don't believe me? Check out my photos and posts!
You pass these by on the side of the road, thrift stores and yard sales. But they can be the most beautiful transformations. PLUS, they are super cheap!
Bless her heart! I wouldn't want anyone showing my spanx but you must see what a pretty painters drop cloth can do for a BU-GLY outdated fabric. Cheap and easy!
Ahhhhhh.......fun and sturdy and OH so comfortable. Truly made with quality and my family loved it's comfort. It was hard to let the piece go. I just wanted to share how a new look doesn't have to cost a ton!
Believe me yet? Look at those curves. The dark wood tones under a shabby white paint.....Ahhhhhhh......Cheap and easy and a whole new look!
Drop cloth slip covers. Left over curtain fabric for the piping!
Look at the arms. LOVE! They are so smooth and so pretty! Paint and slip covers. For real!
Ready to transform your piece? Give you ideas for other outdated pieces that could maybe have a new life? I hope so!

    I would LOVE to be able to do something like this but I don't sew! I can use tacky glue like a pro but not a sewing machine!! LOL! I LOVE what you have done! Very beautiful!
