Reupholstering Envy...

So when I married into the Morris family, I got some seriously stiff competition for the best wife award from my cousin in-laws and soon to be (as of this weekend) sister in-law.

They are all talented and unique in their own special ways, but as a DIY blogger, I am particularly envious of Elizabeth's blog and diy skills at doing just about anything and everything she puts her mind to--I mean she letter-pressed her own wedding invitations...

I think one of the most amazing things I've ever seen her do though is co-start the blog Eighteenth Century Agrarian Business (ECAB). Full of quirky projects, baking, knitting and more--the blog is a DIY'ers paradise.

So keeping with my previous post on rehabbing furniture, I wanted to share this detailed post on DIY Reupholstering from ECAB. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Instant Furniture Makeovers

I'm always shopping estate sales, yard sales and stalking old wing back chairs lurking on curbs.

That being said, I came across this great article from Southern Living on transforming old finds into totally chic treasures and wanted to share.

Might make you take a second look at some of those old hand-me-downs.

Enjoy!

Budget-friendly ways to transform old furniture into dazzling updated focal points.

The Big Reveal

Just before the holidays we finished up the family room project (minus the crown molding). We couldn't be happier with the results, so without further adieu...I'll stop babbling and show you the results.

Cheers,
Laura
