Want to change out the look of your existing furniture? Add a little paint and fabric! Check out my recent flips and get inspired!
Looking tired and outdated right?
Well I grabbed some Junk Monkey Paint - you don't have to prime, or sanding or strip with this stuff.....and splashed it all over the wooden base and let dry.
Easy peasy! And yes I used a hairdryer because I'm impatient :) ha!
Next up I went fabric shopping. I found some awesome prints to recover this piece. In the end, I went with grey. In a modern pattern!
I went right over the existing fabric.
See that stapler? I used it to attach the fabric to the underside of it and then put the fabric top back on.
This is my fav stapler! It's not electric or fancy, but it was $15 and does the job!
And here we go! Good as new!
Check out this chair flip! Doesn't it desperately need a new look???
I found some black fabric in the same modern pattern as the ottoman and went with it! I also painted the one side of the chair so you could see how big of a difference the fabric...and also the PAINT can make! Awesome combo!
I used Junk Monkey Paint, color Black Velvet. And I seriously love it with this new fabric seat cover, you?
Here's an upclose look at what the underside looks like (that no one sees). *Just staple the fabric tightly. (and not your fingers!)
Will you ever look at a piece of furniture the same again????
That day I also took a brown antique table that had seen better days and added some yellow (Junk Monkey Paint - Bee My Honey).
Cause sometimes you have to create your own sunshine right? :) And I am a color lover!
Did you see my cat photobomb in the background? haha
So cute even the cat had to look twice!!

I love your work.
Your creativity is awesome.
However, I can't seem to find a picture with the yellow paint you talked about with your cat photobombing.
Did I miss It?
That would be a color I would use and I love cats.
I'm heading straight for your site and he's, I will be redoing some things around here.
Thanks
