This weekend I crammed in a little project that I've been meaning to do for some time now. Last year, I re-covered our patio seats with some pretty vintage fabric that I had stashed, and though they lived under a covered porch, the fabric didn't last. I'm guessing the culprit was most likely the humidity, but the fabric ended up molding. It just wasn't made to live outside. Anyway, I needed something that could hold up outside, so oil cloth was the solution! (I believe this oil cloth was from JoAnn online)
I wasn't even planning on blogging this project, but I always enjoy seeing the simple ways people update the things in their home, so I figured maybe some of you were the same!
This is where you will find me working today because it is absolutely gorgeous outside (minus the crazy allergy attack I've been having this weekend).
Do you have any simple home projects or updates you've been working on lately? Leave me a link in the comments-- I'd love to see! xo.
Cute! Like the mix of prints :)
ReplyDeleteHello, Katie! :) Here's a link to our vintage gossip seat I recovered and painted. Don't judge my Goblin King/Labrynth background on the ol' blog ;) I have a feeling you won't....... Love your space here, check you guys out every day. I appreciate the love you have for your family, it's our greatest treasure!

Coming across super short + quick + simple DIY projects is always the best! I've been toying with the idea of recovering the benches that came with our bar-height dining table for a while now...if I see one more post similar to this (i.e. re-upholstering-related), it's on!
ReplyDeleteI love your front porch, I wish the one on my house was bigger and could accommodate a table and chairs! I bet it's just lovely to work outside on your laptop.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous. Looks like the perfect place to relax.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS so cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Such a cute and easy way to update a home.
