Exciting news my friends, I finally bought a place of my own! The buying process has kept me pretty busy over the last few weeks but I've still had plenty of time to create big plans for my new space. One of the things that I'm most excited about is that I will finally have a craft room! I have an awesome sewing machine that once belonged to my MaMa; it's built into a cabinet with great storage space. Unfortunately, it's been collecting dust in my parents basement for quite some time due to lack of space at my apartment. In the next few weeks, it will get a well-deserved home in my new creative space. The cabinet has recently received a fresh coat of white paint and new drawer pulls but it was missing a chair. I considered using several different styles of chairs but couldn't find anything I loved. A couple weeks ago, I ventured into a second hand store and stumbled upon this cutie for only $5! It was the perfect height to accompany the sewing desk; for $5 I just couldn't pass it up! After removing the cushion, I decided to paint the chair white to match the desk. I used a white primer first and then an additional coat of white appliance paint. The craft room is grey and will be accented with yellow and white. For the chair cushion, I selected upholstery fabric from Jo-Ann's in a fun yellow print; I used half a yard for this project. The fabric was wrapped around the existing cushion and stapled to the back. Once my paint was dry, the cushion was secured back into the chair frame. I'm so happy with how it turned out; I can't wait to use it in the new craft room! Come back soon to see the craft room when it's finished!
