Workday Wednesday

I've been keeping busy with paint and thread. I've mentioned my neighborhood FaceBook page in past posts. I love getting things off there cheap and transforming them into something special.

Take this $20 chandelier, It's kinda ugly and dated.

A can of spray paint later and it looks like this! I'll show you the finished product once it is up in my laundry room! Can't wait.

Then there was this kinda sad table that I got from a neighbor down the street for $5. I was so excited as I was looking for a small table just like this for our deck. I was not at all thrilled about the color and thought I would have to do lots of taping and such as to not spray the glass. However, when I flipped it over, I just had to take out 4 screws to take the whole thing apart. Shazam!

It now looks like this and is really happy with the other furniture. Incidentally, I bought this set of love seat and chairs on said neighborhood FB page for only $45. It did not come with cushions though. I looked into making them but man, inserts and outdoor fabric is expensive. Then, I started looking into buying them and boy, that is expensive too! Sheesh. Well, I dug around on the internet and found these cushions on clearance at Home Decorators for a steal. Yipee!

Here is the last piece of furniture I'll bore you with. Again, got this on FB for $20. I really needed a chair for my desk in my bedroom and this vintage cane chair had lots of potential. The color was all wrong though.

I sprayed it a light aqua blue and look, don't you think she looks happy in her new spot in my bedroom?

 As for sewing, made a tennis bag for a friend…

 Working on 4 wine bags for the same friend…

 And, finishing up a quilt (my first adventure into triangles) for a special friend who had a baby girl…

Ok, enough of all my junk, what are you doing? What are you making? What are you spray painting? Do tell! Teresa
