Welcome friends to the first DIY Furniture Girls Makeover of 2016! 

We've got a few new members so I'm sure there is going to be lots each moth to spark your creativity!

DIY furniture girls bring you monthly themed furniture inspiration!

 

This month's theme is shades of white! White is really a great furniture choice. It goes with many styles and colors.

 

$5 thrift store chair makeover with painted burlap fabric by Our Southern Home

 

This is actually the before of a chair that I made over back in 2014. I purchased the chair for $5. Now it would probably be $15. Have you noticed a tremendous price increase at your thrift store for furniture?

It was in really good shape. Very sturdy. It just needed new fabric and some updating.

It's hard to tell in this original makeover, but it was painted white and distressed. I then went over it with a glaze to age it. This chair hangs out in our playroom when not used to stage flip houses. As a result, it's gotten rather beat up. Quite frankly, I'd grown tired of the glazed look.

Here it is in the garage right before repainting. With all of the chips beyond my intentional distressing, it just looked dirty and not very polished. Teenagers can be rough on furniture. 

I'm getting ready to take it to the newest flip house and wanted to freshen it up a bit.

I used flat white by Rustoleum in their 2x the coverage line. I covered all the chips and glaze in 2 coats.

Now it looks fresh and ready for that farmhouse look. I walked around in Hobby Lobby yesterday looking for new fabric, but I just didn't find anything that I was in love with. I still like this grainsack that I painted on burlap when I originally painted the chair. So I decided not to change it!

You can see how I painted the fabric in the grainsack pattern HERE. It's really very simple and has held up beautifully!

Pulling out my knitting for this photo has me itching to knit again. I just have so much on my plate these days, that I can't find the time for my favorite hobby. I really need to make time. I'm feeling a beautiful infinity scarf with this soft, winter white yarn.

See how fresh it looks now. I decided not to even distress it.

Sometimes I use spray paint, sometimes I use chalk paint. Chairs with detail are so much easier to just spray paint! That little footstool is such a favorite of mine. Image transfer is such a quick project.

    Love the contrast of the crisp white paint with the rustic burlap. They look perfect together and it certainly has the farmhouse look now.

    Christy, I like that you kept the burlap grain sack painted striped fabric on this chair – it’s so fitting with the cane back.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
