I've wanted to blog about my decorating, crafting, shopping, thrifting trips for years. Yes, YEARS. Why haven't I? Well, I've always told myself that I don't have enough time right now. Or I'll do it when I get this or that done. And what if nobody reads my blog. AND...WHAT IF....so yeah, you get the idea. I've talked myself out of doing something I really wanted to do. I knew I’d enjoy it. I’ve missed out on so many fun blog makeover parties. I want to have a place to look back on all I’ve accomplished. Big & small. Soooo, I'm jumping in right here & now!
So without further ado, here's some before & after pics of a cute lil vintage rocking chair I purchased from the Salvation Army for $15.00.
Before…she’s a lil sad & tired. Definitely seen better days.
And after…all pretty-fied & shabbied up to sweet cottage style perfection! I used a king size Shabby Chic duvet I purchased for $10.00 & scrap fabric. Still have over half the fabric from the duvet left. The trim was purchased at a garage sale for $1.00.
So go me! I have my first real blog post! Yay!
Crossing my fingers that someone actually reads it! Ha!
