If only I could whistle.... :)
This is what it looked like when I found it here.
Dontcha just love those legs???
Slap a little white paint on it...distress it a bit...throw together some sage burlap and voila.
.......
OK....so it wasn't quite that easy....but I'd do it again!
Since the burlap is a weave and not solid, I recovered the top with a white sheet first so you see the light through burlap, not ugly mauve.
(No offense to anyone who like that color.)
I cut off the original cording. I first attempted to truly reupholster it, but this baby was made well. I could not get even the first few staples out, much less the hundreds that were used. (And I wasn't about to ask for help from the hubs since he's less than thrilled that I have all this extra furniture in his garage anyway! You think he'd be happy that I'm finally moving some out!?! :)
See the pretty ruffle? I used the selvage edge of the burlap so I didn't have to hem the fabric before I ruffled it. I was feeling lazy creative.
She is for sale here. I secretly hope she doesn't sell, cuz I kinda want her at the end of my bed...but I guess that's not really a secret now, is it?
