starting your own business can be a tough challenge at times, but opportunities like this make it so worth while. i was able to help my sweet friend lauren decorate her adorable yellow & pink birdie themed nursery. it brings me such joy to help someone develop a space into something that will bring happiness, comfort, and life – especially for a new life that is entering into this world…i am actually at the hospital right now, anxiously awaiting the birth of adelyn elizabeth ward. lauren is in labor with her first child, and i am so thrilled for her to be a mom! i had so much fun helping her with their nursery! happy birthday adelyn!!! here are a few pics. you can view all of them on the portfolio page.

just this week i found an old chair with a lot of character that i wanted to fix up.  it was so fun to envision the finished product, and it wasn’t an overwhelming project. i finished it in just a couple of days. here are 5 easy steps to completely change a chair:

1. find a chair that you think has some potential at a flea market, antique store, garage sale, or even in your attic!

2. prime the chair. (you might need to wear a mask, the fumes can get pretty strong!)

3. paint the chair the color you desire. antique it by sanding the sides and edges, if you so desire.

4. find a fabric for the cushion, and recover the cushion using a staple gun.
