Things to do with salvaged fabric and donated / free items… make a cork board, restyle a foot stool or reupholster a chair. I have one more piece of salvaged in need of a project.
Here’s to more craftiness! ✨

A donated foot stool from Tom at , salvaged fabric from my upholstery buddy Mark and a bit of elbow grease from me. Love the finish on the wood base now. And the fabric is a stunner. 💕
Next up is repurposing the old fabric cause why not.

Finished up my chair refresh… new upholstery by me with support from my peeps at Velle’s Furniture. Some fixing up of the wood frame. From trash to treasure… a free chair with good bones is now quite the signature piece. 😎💕✨

After a bit of trial and error, my transformation of these trashed nested tables (thanks to Tom at ) is complete. Some sanding, some glueing, some staining then some oiling and now they look super FAB. 💕😎✨

When one friend gifts you salvaged fabric (yay for scoring some small bits of ) and another loans you a staple gun - what’s a girl to do?! Well she spends a Sunday evening upholstering two chairs she got for free on .

Another recent project where I grabbed something from Tom at that needed a ton of TLC. This plant stand was a bit worse for wear - beat up finish, warped top, etc. I replaced the top with a scrap piece of door skin, refinished the wood and found a glass container (also from Urban Repurpose) to restyle into a planter for some succulents. Love it! 🌿✨💕

A free table via a free group gets a lot of TLC… I sanded, stained but the top finish was super orange and uneven so I then resanded, added wood conditioner, used a darker stain then sealed the deal. I love transforming neglected furniture. It’s my jam. 💕✨😎
