Before and After Wednesday

Hello World!  Today's Before and After comes from Beverly who blogs at Eclectic Red Barn.  She transformed a little stool that would have bogled my mind.  Let's take a look, shall we?


She picked up the stool for 50 cents at a flea market sale, took her home and got to work getting off the stick on tile piece that was on the top of the stool. 


She used Home Depot yardsticks she had on hand as well as some red paint to transform the sad little stool into a happy one.  


So much better already. 



Take a cue from Beverly, don't throw it out, paint it and give it a new top.  Thank you Beverly for sharing your little stool with us.  To see more, head on over to the 
Eclectic Red Barn

If you have any before and after projects that you would love to get featured, email them to thededicatedhouse@gmail.com and in the subject line, please put Before and After Wednesday.  It can be any before and after: gardening, furniture redo, room makeover, complete renovation, sewing repurpose.  Anything with a before and after.
***Also, start sending all of your holiday before and afters.  For example:  wreath creations, centerpieces, decor.  Just make sure there is a before pic of the "naked piece" (naked table to fabulous tablescape, naked Christmas tree to decked out beauty, naked wreath to beautiful filled in wreath)...you get the picture.  I'm compiling a file for the upcoming holidays so that we have a ton of inspiration to see us through the seasons on Before and After Wednesday.***

Make it Pretty Monday has some great inspiration.  Click here to go check it out.  And, don't forget about the Anything Blue Friday party.  Any shade of blue and it doesn't have to be in every picture.

Thank you for stopping in for a visit!  Have a great day and remember to be kind to one another! Fear Not!


Toodles,
Kathryn

  3. Great transformation, love the red! It's funny how something random like yardsticks all of a sudden is a popular choice for reusing!
