$1.00 Garage Sale Treasure

Last summer, I picked this old wooden folding chair up at a church yard sale.
After a little spray painting in the color "jade" and a little reupholstering with a little acorn fabric curtain I made for my son's nursery in our old house, I have a new and updated chair!
I think it'd be really cool to paint something on the backrest...like a distressed number, chevron stripe, monogram, etc. I haven't quite figured out where to put the chair, but I think I'll wait to personalize it until it's found it's home.

Playroom/Sunroom Before & After

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. It began with a three week trip to AK, broke my camera against a rock while hiking and dove head first into projects once I got back. And one of those projects is "finished". Well a good-enough-for-now-kind-of finished.

*You can see the chalkboard paint that I used on the longest wall. The other walls that are painted is the same color in the adjoining room, Hazel by Sherwin Williams.


The red at the bottom of the picture shows how we just painted the sunroom and not the entire porch. It's a massive improvement and hopefully my daughter will stop referring it as "the dirty room". Ha ha. :)
