Stenciled/painted furniture

Purchased in Savers for $14. - Stenciled in Indian inlay technique - time consuming and tedius - but like the result. Needs touch-ups.

this weekend project

Another weekend project successfully executed. These were old frames that my Mom used for 2 art portraits she did in High School (not my favorites). One glass broke so I repainted the frames - covered foam core with leftover fabric from cutting down some curtains - inserted them into the frames - backed it with a 2nd piece of foam core and inserted cup hooks at the tops of each to hang necklaces on and again, it came out like I imagined it would.

    poked through the two sheets of foam core so I placed a strip of leftover foam core over just the hook ends and secured everything with packing tape. I love packing tape, I use it for so many things.

upgrading found items

this was a bench I found in a Savers store with ugly, plastic, faux-quilted top. And I love black paint so I painted it black and covered it with a remnant from Joann Fabrics. Purchased and redone - all for less than $10.00
