daily decorator

It is our last Monday for DIY Mondays In May series and I have to say there is a lot of talent out there!  I want to thank all my fellow bloggers for sharing their super creative ideas!  We are certainly ending our series with a bang today.  Our 1st featured blogger has soo many diy projects it is hard to pick just 2.  Check it out…





Furniture makeovers are my all-time favorite.  Kate is able to see the potential in some neglected pieces and bring them back to life.  Go see what I mean…





How did she do that you ask?





1.  Remove old cushions and fabric.  May need a screwdriver and pliers to get the job done.  2.  After a quick sanding, prime and paint with a handy-dandy spray paint gun attachment.  3.  Recover seats with new foam and fabulous new fabric.  4.  Cover your own buttons and then create a tufted cushion with the buttons.  For a real detailed tutorial click HERE.  With a little effort you can own a chic bench like Kate’s below.


 


Now Kate’s talent doesn’t end with rescuing and revamping old furniture…she is a crafty one to boot!  Check it out…





Watch out Martha Stewart!  Centsational Girl might steal your title of Queen Crafter from your hands with this idea!  Want the same look?  Check out the how-to.





 1.  All you need are a few new paint cans, spray paint and hanging hardware.  2.  Create stripes with masking tape.  3.  Stick on letter stickers for a cute word or initials.  4. Spray paint to your heart’s content.  5.  Hammer holes in the bottom of the cans for drainage also add small rocks for drainage.  Add your plant and hang from secured hardware on the fence.  For a more detailed tutorial click HERE.  Loving the affordability factor as well as the great look.  See how stunning below!
