Some years the fall season creeps up on me like a snake in the grass. Not this year. Maybe it's because we recently painted our living room - after like 12+ years.

DIY Chair Makeover: A no-fuss way to paint fabric.
Whenever I ask another DIYer about painting their upholstered furniture, I would get mixed reactions. Some loved it. Some hated it. However, they all consistently complained that the process was laborious. And while I love updating an old chair with new fabric, I think reupholstery can be super strenuous too. Like this cowhide chair I once covered, for instance. When it comes to reupholstering, I'm self-taught and not crazy about spending days and days on one piece of furniture. So … [Read more...] about DIY Chair Makeover: A no-fuss way to paint fabric.
