Who says your have to use fabric to reupholster an old chair? Create an authentic farmhouse look with an old grain sack instead. I spotted this gem at a garage sale years ago. It's been tucked away in my basement collecting dust, waiting for some inspiration... until now. I was most attracted to the decorative arms and feet - knowing that distressed paint would adhere to the grooves and really give this piece some character. Repurposed feed and grains sacks are all over the place … [Read more...] about Feed Sack Chair Makeover

The couch picture I shared in the DIY couch cover post is missing a few pillows at the moment, not to mention the socks, slippers, shoes, toys, tv remotes, and more that have been either eaten altogether … [Read more...] about DIY Dog Food Container
DIY Farmhouse Table
This post is called a DIY but neither my husband nor I actually built the table. We just painted and stained it. Full table construction credit goes to my bestie Lisa and her husband Ryan Besse.
