DIY Ugly Chair Makeover

I love chairs!

But sometimes I meet an ugly chair and I just have to have an intervention.  That was the case with this chair.  And it was the perfect case for an ugly chair makeover because it was residing in the cube of Brandi, our Design Studio Coordinator.  She was desperate to have something done, and I knew just what to do.

Case in point, right?  Who doesn't love a mauve chair, leftover from the 80's or 90's and would give you some dusty buns if you sat in it. Well.... here we go. This is how you make-over an ugly chair.

Halloween Burlap Pillows

With Halloween right around the corner I think it's time for us to start decorating our home! I am madly in love with burlap so when I love to Create came out with these burlap pillows my heart dropped to the bottom of the earth. Literally. OK, fine not literally but you get it right! There is something about a prickly pillow that makes me feel all warm and cozy. Maybe it's the fact that burlap kinda smells like a barn or feed store. I may be crazy but what can I say burlap is the bomb. Today we are making some fun and quick Halloween pillows so let's get started. 

DIY Outdoor Stenciled Burlap Pillows

Very recently my father and I made a bed bench for my mother. Basically we took an old bed and turned it into a bench for the front porch! And since my mother loves all things decor, trendy and owl I also stenciled some burlap pillows. With the new burlap pillow covers from iLoveToCreate these were tons faster to make than the bench itself!

And complement the bench perfectly!
