New items at The Coop & Barn Loft

Refilled my space at The Cooperage today.
It may look a bit chaotic in the picture, but in person it's nice and 'spring-y'. The ladder in the center is an old ladder painted white, then vintage bright green solid shutters are used as shelves. Fun!
 
Here's a before and after of a yellow upholstered chair that I 'shabbied'...is that a word??
And after...

I always love how the details pop after it's painted and sanded!
The flowers on this chair are beautiful.
I brought in this old/vintage slatted wood chaise lounge today.
Here it is in my back yard, you'll need to add your own cushion.
 
 This console is painted gray, then the top was decoupaged with brown paper bags-no kidding! Here's what it looked like when I picked it up...so sad.
With the gray paint and the paper bags applied. I started the staining process in this picture..finish with a couple coats of poly and you get the above picture. Looks like leather, don't you think?
And lastly, I just wanted to give you a sneak peak at one of my items for sale at Barn Loft this Saturday-this gorgeous picnic (yes, picnic) table. Why is it a picnic table? Because the legs fold under, flat-great for moving and storage, and the feet are covered in copper-great for keeping them dry in damp grass. This would obviously be great indoors too!
 Stop over at Barn Loft on Saturday (10-12 only) to see more cool stuff!
 
Enjoy!

Repurposed Candlesticks & Stepstool

I've been working on warm weather projects, even though there is still about 10 inches of snow on the ground still. When that warm weather comes, I'm gonna be ready!

Remember these two before pictures from 'Project Day' last week?
Today was the day to finish them...
The step stool got a coat of pale yellow outdoor paint. The wood candlesticks were painted white, everything got some distressing...

The step stool would also look great holding plants on a porch, don't ya think?
I glued mason jars onto the candle sticks with e-6000 glue.
I love how these look all grouped together on the patio table.
Some high, some low...some with cut flowers would be great too.
It started getting dark,and cold, so I brought them in to light them.
Now I just need outdoor eating weather to enjoy them outside!
Enjoy!
