I planned on our normal routine today, but when I went to pick up Jameson from preschool he was sick so that changed the plan to staying home all day. Because Jameson wasn't feeling well the boys took a nice long nap & then just laid around which gave me time to get some projects finished up. I've had the pieces to do these projects for a while, so I was happy to actually have a chance to do them. I wish I had remembered to take before pics, but I didn't so I'll just have to tell you what they looked like before. Here they are.
This bench is for my bathroom. It was once a black coffee table I picked up at Goodwill for $12. I found the fabric for the pad & the small pillow in the remnants section for about $3 months ago. I got the foam for the pad, & the small pillow form 40% off @ Hobby Lobby for about $8. The brown pillows I got @ Ross for $9. Overall not too bad & I love how it turned out.
I've actually been working on this set for a while but I did the desk & chair today as well as the pillows & the "W". I picked up this set of furniture on craigslist for $130. After lots of hours, & days, & LOTS of coats of spray painting (I'm too lazy to brush paint), I finally got it all finished today. I also recovered the pad of the chair, stenciled it, & made covers for the 2 pillows (only shows 1, but they're the same). I'm really loving how it turned out & Klint is finally understanding why I insisted that I needed this furniture. He now loves it too. I did this all pretty cheap too. Spray paint - $3 a can (7 cans), one gallon of orange "goof up" paint from Home Depot - $7, more remnant fabric - $2, two plain pillows from Target - $5, fabric for pillows (30% off @ Hobby Lobby) - $5, "W" wall hanging (50% off @Hobby Lobby) - $1.50 Now I just have to get the rest of my salon room done so I can display it right.
I'm also happy to report that Jameson is feeling a little better. Here's a picture of he & Alex being silly & enjoying that their suckers had made their mouths blue. The joys of being a kid.

So cute! I am totally impressed! Trev has been sick and I have been much less productive. Way to go!
I'm totally in love with your white furniture. I painted Lily's with a brush and wish I would have spray painted it instead. We need to get together soon, I totally want to see your house!
Okay, so totally impressed!!! It matches your blog background right now too. But seriously so cool!
Who knew you were into refinishing?! That's awesome! The furniture looks fantastic! and that's also so cool that you're making a salon room. You're awesome :)
