Little Luxe! Inspiration for REvitalizing Old Chairs!

During my time in Florida for Spring Break, I was given a bit of inspiration for the chairs that I am in the process of REvitalizing!  I was shopping at a darling children's apparel store, Little Luxe, and fell in love with both the clothing AND the furniture displayed in the shop!  The furniture was not for sale, but it did give me some serious INSPIRATION for what to do about my chairs waiting for me back home.

Take a look...

Hello Preppy Princess!

Check out the giant mirror and the distressed "stage" used to look at yourself in the background!

Yummy and FUN!

Tone on tone...this chair had some serious swagger!

Gorgeous gold and too cute tufting!

Why YES...I'll take a seat!

Love.

Another chair in the dressing room...don't mind if I do take a seat!

Behind the register counter...textured, graphic grasscloth...with a Tiffany Blue ceiling...gorgeous!

Stay tuned for my REvitalized Chairs REveal post...they are almost done!

And they are darn cute.

Think GREEN...on Joss and Main!

Happy St. Patrick's Day...a day late!

I mentioned in an earlier post that the Color of the Year was EMERALD GREEN.

So today when I opened up my Joss and Main email, 

https://www.jossandmain.com/Shamrock-%26-Shell~E3899.html?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=,

and saw this photo, 

I thought it would be worth sharing because it is all about different shades of GREEN.

I am especially in love with this settee...the tufting and nailhead accents are amazing.  The actual love seat is in a neutral cream, but the fun pillows in the graphic green fabric really bring this room to life.  

Enjoy the St. Patrick's Day inspired GREEN eye candy!

Occasional Chairs---REvitalized!!!

I just landed two of these occasional chairs from a friend who was "donating" them to me to REvitalize.

They needed a little bit of life added to their old frames and seat covers.  

They needed a little ZSHUZSH...and you all know how much I love to ZSHUZSH!

I already know what I am going color I am going to paint them...and it is HOT! Think cute...not sexy.

I am still working on the fabric choice for the seats, but I am thinking something bright and graphic.

The REveal will be soon and SUPER FUN...THINK SPRING!

Children's Art Wall--Show case What You Love NOW!

Showcase what you LOVE NOW!  

Whether it's your children's art... 

...or some new dishes that you are in serious LOVE with... 

   

...or photographs that simply make you smile because they take you back to a wonderful time.

This attached article about DECLUTTERING is from one of my favorite websites, (click here) Houzz.  It really resonated with me...and maybe it will with you, too.  

Call me if you need help decluttering to find what you really LOVE because it could be all gone in the blink of an eye.  

Don't you want to REALLY ENJOY what you have now?  

Showcase it.  

Now.  

I can help, I promise.

Darling BAR CART REfurbish REveal!

Spring is right around the corner...

Which means bright colors, fresh patterns, and....

COCKTAILS,  right?!?

So, in an attempt to get into the swing of Spring...I decided to REfurbish an old, dilapidated bar cart I scored from The Green Shag, a local, quirky antique stop.  I loved that it had two levels, it rolled, and had the bamboo accent (which is very "in") on the body of the cart.  After a little haggling, it was mine...for a great price.

As you can see, the "brass" finish was well worn and needed a little love.  

I brought it home, took off the plexiglass shelving, and roughed it up with a piece of medium grit sandpaper.  Next, I used a primer that would help the high gloss spray paint adhere to the cart.  I will say this particular primer left a sort of sandy finish..so I had to spend a bit more time sanding those bumps away with a smooth grit sandpaper.  It was a bit of an unexpected pain, but it was well worth the minimal elbow grease.

It took three coats of bright YELLOW high gloss Krylon spray paint..and VOILA!

On to the bar cart's shelves...I got this "window film" at Home Depot.  I've used it before, and it is fairly easy to use.  (BUT, you need TWO PEOPLE to be really effective at getting a good, smooth application!)

TA DA!  No cocktails on this cart, but these bright accessories are darn cute!

Seven Gray is using it to display some of the new Spring items that have been rolling...think patterned pillows, funky art, a Curly Girl cake stand, bright Easter Eggs, metallic Easter Bunnies, colorful lanterns, infinity scarves, numbered pails, door mats, turquoise bottles, and much more.

For the right price, the bar cart could be yours...go check it out at  7 Gray in historical, downtown Webster Groves!!!

It'll help you kick off your SPRING FEVER...and just think of the cocktails you can serve off this REfurbished Baby!

I'll STOP THE WORLD AND MELT WITH YOU...and other fun art at 7 GRAY!

Yep...that's right!  You know that song...

And this one:  ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, LET'S GET TOGETHER AND FEEL ALL RIGHT...

And this one:  WE'RE STILL HAVING FUN AND YOU'RE STILL THE ONE...

And: YEAH, YOU REALLY GOT ME NOW..

And:  WE GOT THE BEAT...

And (a little Marvin Gay...my personal favorite...it was my wedding song!): 

AIN'T NOT MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH!!!

Love these two SILLY pieces!

Darling mirrors in bright colors...yellow included, but not shown...and all in fun shapes and sizes!

Love the texture on this chair...
