Dragonfly Designs: Herringbone Table Makeover

http://www.twindragonflydesigns.com/2012/05/herringbone-table-makeover.html Today I am sharing my Herringbone Table Makeover {as posted on Chic on a Shoestring a while ago} This was a risky project for me. Painting a white herringbone pattern onto our dining room table could have been a disaster! But I freaking LOVE it!!! And it can't really get any worse than this before shot, can it? We've had this table for years!

{Awesome} Paisley Stenciled Table — Domestic Imperfection

Let’s talk stenciling. Now, I’ve done my fair share of stenciling (like on my pantry , toy box and end table ), but it’s always been with a homemade stencil and it takes F.O.R.E.V.E.R. to do. Plus the final product always looks kinda wonky when you get up close and the design is very simple.

At the moment, amongst other things, I’m working on a totally new room makeover at my hive. It’s a little space I’ve not shared previously. I can’t wait for the final reveal though with a little pair of hands constantly clutching at my pant legs (with an accompanying unresistable “pick-me-up” whine), let’s just say progress hasn’t exactly been fast, so as with pretty much everything else nowadays, I’m not holding my breath ’til it’s done. Anyhoo, part of the makeover involves some new shelving and to pretty them up, whilst adding some handy knick-knack storage, I wanted some cute old mini card file drawers. They are relativelyplentiful (if you have patience and know where to look – eBay, oldware stores, etc.) though in many cases buying some requires a deep pocket reach and, if you know me, you’d know I’m just a bit adverse to that kinda thing. http://thepaintedhive.net/2012/04/ikea-card-file-drawers-hack/

urbane jane.: coffee table transformed into a bench.

http://www.urbanejane.com/2012/01/coffee-table-transformed-into-bench.html Hey, hey, hey! I'm in pretty good spirits right now. It could be the yummy pull apart pizza bread I just had (left overs from New Years eve) :) or it could be the fact that last night I tackled a project that's been sitting around in our cramped office for a year awaiting transformation.
I love all of the Poufs available to purchase, including the cute Striped Poufs from West Elm! SO Cute, but so expensive! So I figured I could make my own! How hard could it be? I am an expert at pillows!

My version of the Pouf!
