A makeover ...Part 2

 We did a bit more to our back yard eating area, see part one here.

This is how chair number two started out.

This chair was one of my very first flea market pieces over 10 years ago... it only cost me 2$

 And this is how it looks now, the color is more red and less orange in person.

 Here is the table covered in oil cloth to protect it from my children.

When I bought the cherry oil cloth I intended for it to cover the whole table..... well I some how did not order the correct amount of fabric.  Thank goodness I had the green checked oil cloth hanging around and I sewed some on each end and kinds like how it turned out. This is our old dinning room table.

You can see how cute chair one and two look at the table. The chair on the back right is from Chad's Grandmas house and it is going GREEN.  The front right chair I just picked up at an estate sale for 3$!! The table is super long so I want to have about eight chairs since there are 6 of us and usually an extra kid or two. I do have about four other chairs in my garage which have fabric seats, so I need to recover them with oil cloth too if I am going to use them around the table.  Not sure yet.

Mini Makeover

I decided to work on the main bathroom a bit, because it is an eyesore. Without a total remodel it is still not the best, but I used what I had to make it a bit better. Maybe the cute stuff will detract attention from the hideous avocado green and harvest gold tile.

At our house in Napa our main bath was super shabby chic, pale pink, white and soft blue and green. I loved it! Unfortunately I had to go a different direction with this one for two reasons, one, the hideous tile and two this is the bathroom Graham uses. So I thought I should make it a bit less frou frou. I went with a vintage beach theme.

When we moved in there was no mirror so we used one that we had been using on my bedroom vanity. I bought that oar at an estate sale months ago and it has sat in a corner in the bathroom waiting for hubby to hang it up. I think he was inspired to do it because I made new curtains.
I think the oar looks cute above the mirror. I really want to paint, we'll see if I get a bee in my bonnet.

This is the before of the hideous shade. It has literally been there since 1970 when the house was built. If you click on it to get a closer view, you can see where the fringe was ripped off and they taped the tears with scotch tape. Gab is going through a modest stage and has to have it down to use the bathroom, even though there is no one to see in. The shade made it like a dungeon,beside being UGLY! I can't believe it has taken me a year to do this. SHEESH.

Here is the after. So much better. No exactly what I had in mind, but i used what I had and am happy with the results. It is no longer an dungeoneous eye sore. It makes me more motivated to paint seeing all the white.

Have a wonderful day.
