I had an itch yesterday to do a quick project. One that doesn't take weeks and weeks like our bathroom remodel. I've been wanting to do something with the little chair in my bedroom for a long time. Mom gave it to me and I think it used to be Grandma Hancock's. Like a dummy I didn't take a picture of it in it's before state, but it was kind of orangy wood color. The seat had a pink and green plaid fabric I put on it years ago. Not a pretty look. So I just dove in, and this is what I came up with:
I've really been liking the chairs I see in blogland covered in drop cloth. So I first painted it creamy white and distressed it. Then I covered the seat with drop cloth and made a ruffle flounce in the same drop cloth. I did it all with my glue gun. Yep, glue gun.
I really like it. And with the cute french pillow mom gave me for Christmas, it's a perfect pairing. I'll show you what else I did with the same $10 drop cloth soon in the bathroom reveal. I'm very excited for it to be done soon.

You made this chair look so cute. I can't believe you used your glue gun for this. I need to use the canvas I got at Harbor Freight.
Wow......Success!
Very cute Becky. I've got a drop cloth waiting to be turned into something, you're on the ball! - just keep those pics of re-dos coming, we all love them!
