Happy Friday everyone!
It has been a very busy week here. Since it was Spring Break here, I was asked to work for a coworker and the twelve hour days have kept me from getting as much accomplished as I was hoping. The laundry room is moving forward though. I have my hutch primed and I hope to paint it this weekend. Then we can put it in place and finish the board and batten in there. Lots to show you coming up!
Let's talk about today though! I am excited and honored to introduce you to Lisa from A Vintage Vine. We are swapping blogs for the day and she has something very special to show you.
Lisa and I became friends before I started blogging. She was new herself (though you would never know it) and was so helpful as I was starting out, answering all my newbie questions with such patience.

Lisa's blog, A Vintage Vine, is full of amazing DIY projects. She is so talented when it comes to refinishing furniture and pulling a room together. Her ideas are unique, creative and sure to inspire you to try them yourself.
As I was trying to find some fabric for a roman shade in my laundry room and picking Lisa's brain, she came up with a great idea to use a shower curtain for something other than its intended purpose. What a great idea! I knew within minutes exactly what I would do. I knew Lisa would come up with something divine as well, which she has.
So, hop on over to A Vintage Vine to see what I have done and enjoy Lisa's post today . You'll never look at a shower curtain the same again!
Hi fans of Roly Poly Farm....I am Lisa from A Vintage Vine. I am so glad to be here blogging today....Jodi is over at my place...blogging a great project.....and I am here showing you a project I made out of a Target

fabric shower curtain........it was even on clearance!
Shower curtains are great resources of affordable fabric.....I saw this fabric shower curtain and knew it was a great option for a chair makeover project in my daughters room. I bought this chair at a thrift store for $7....After some TLC, it is perfect for her room..
I first cleaned it with TSP and then sanded it...I painted it with Krylon Fusion
Dove White spray paint.
Tore off all this lovely black fake leather.....
After adding new batting for the cushion, I recovered it with the fabric shower curtain.......
I won't bore you with all the details of how I recover cushions or benches...I blogged about it here if you need any tips....
I think she fits perfectly in my 5 yr olds room......
Look how much fabric I still have......Don't worry I have a project in mind for this too!!!
Now go find a great shower curtain and use it for something besides the shower!!!!
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep my eye out for clearance shower curtains to cut up.

Love your daughter's room LIsa. You 2 are so smart and both projects turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeletelove how this came out! Great idea on using that for your project.
ReplyDeleteLisa and Jodi,
ReplyDeleteYou both had great ideas...love the fabric for the cushions and Lisa...my daughter has that same fabric for her comforter...do you know if the matching sheets are on sale too? Heres another shower curtain idea...I got a zebra print curtain that came from target at a yard sale for like $2 and I use it for a large round end table with a burlap square over it...it's in a corner so the odd size works great.
Blessings,
Linda
Great chair! That fabric is really pretty and your daughters room is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBoth shower curtain projects turned out really well! I'll be checking that aisle more often. :)
i am being boring and using shower curtains for cafe curtains and slipcovers. You ladies rock.
ReplyDeleteMorning girl...it looks fantasic...love that you painted it the white! Hope you have a great weekend...Picket
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such gorgeous patterned shower-curtians in England. Now I'm really jealous!!!! That is a great idea to use in on the chair. But if you saw the choice on offer over here, you might think again!!!
