My booth is nearly empty so I have been hard at work getting some more furniture ready to take next Tuesday. I thought I would take a minute out to share a couple of things I just finished with you.
First is an old mirror that probably went with a dresser at one time. It is a very heavy solid wood mirror with a fan like design at the top. Here's the before.
...please ignore my terrible carport with half finished projects.
Here's the after.
...hmm mirror looks great. Reflection? not so much
I also just finished a antique rocker. I am certainly not a professional upholsterer but like I have blogged about before my Grandmother recovered her chairs so like her out of necessity I taught myself the basics. Upholstery is not my favorite thing to do so I don't recover a complete chair very often. Here's the before.
And here's the after.
Okay, I know you have an old mirror or an old chair just sitting around collecting dust. Get out your material and a paint brush! If I can do it anybody can.

I love the black and white chair lovely, my kinda style.
I have a chair like this and can't figure out how to re-cover. PLEASE give me details/instructions.....Yours is BEAUTIFUL. just found your blog and luv it. Thank you. Eager to hear from you.
Sorry Lesa you didn't give me anyway to get in touch with you. I also don't know if detail instructions would help without you seeing me doing the actual work but I will be glad to tell you how I did it. You can email me at pjhdesignsinfo@gmail.com
