Old Chair Made New #1

I found an old chair at a flea market (I forgot to take before pics) and painted it... black of course! It took a while to find the right fabric for this chair, but I finally did. It is actually a burlap fabric with black velvet swirls on it - how fabulous! The pictures really don't do the chair justice. Anyhow, just wanted to show my weekend project!

I put the extra fabric on an old bench I bought at a garage sale for $2. I painted it and did not distress the wood. I actually like the fabric a little bit more with this bench than the distressed chair. What do you think?

P.S. The bench is for sale in my booth, which is why the pumpkins are on it!

$3 Tables

Both of these tables cost $3 at garage sales! I love painting things black because the color is so traditional and classy. Also, a glossy black ALWAYS makes a piece look new, which is exactly what my $3 tables needed!

This table was bright green and pink. Now it is the perfect entry way table.

This coffee table was an orange wood (is that oak?) and had a broken leg that Kent fixed for me. Many future problems (spills and chips) have been averted thanks to the distressing job.
