Cow hide Settee

 

While this little Antique Settee is Darling, I really wanted a

different look and wanted to create a unique piece.

   

Once I stripped it down, I painted it.

Then added new foam, layer of thick batting & under fabric

 

 

 

 

 

And Lastly One of my Favorite Cow hide.

Giveing this darling Settee a New Unique look.

 

We just love it and it sits in our Front window where she

gets lots of attention.

Before & After Settee

A Little Share today of one of Our Victorian Settee's

Once we Sanded-Primered-Painted this Vintage Piece

We Stripped her down (as you see here we were half way through the process)

Removing all of the old Buttons-Filler-Pink Velvet Fabric & Old Welting

 

Re-Covered her in a Muslin

 

Made 42 All New Buttons in the same Neutral Linen Fabric,

as were Re-Upholstering the Piece in, Used Double Welting in the Same Linen as well.

Storage & Organization

Perfect time of year to get organized.

There are so many pieces that were onced used for one purpose that now can be used for everyday items.

Rustic old Library Card Files are great for flowers to peak through-desk top for this & that.

Tall Industrial File Cabinet would be perfect for Paper work-Art Supplies-in an Office-Class room or even a Boys room for clothing or Shoes.

Crates are so Universal stacked-layered-or just set aside.

 

With the Flat file drawers on top, this would be ideal in a classroom for paperwork on top and bigger drawers on bottom for larger items- and with such Charcter.

These little wood pieces with so many drawers are just great on the desk for paper clips-and other supplies or maybe a sewer for thread & more.

Darling Lemonade Stand

Loving Pinterest for so Many reasons.

I came across this picture- and Just Loved it.

Thought it was just Darling- Such a Cute & Welcoming way to sell just about anything.

I had this Very Old Drop Leaf Table/Cabinet.

One side had drawers & Cabinet to inside storage.

The Other side lifted up to a Drop Leaf-and was very short-

I used it to store-set (stuff) on it my garage.

 

 

I Decided it would make a Great Lil Stand-

So I used this Lovely lil image as Inspiration-

and Built my own lil Stand.

Adding some Scalloped Thin Wood & Lettering and little Chalkboard to announce what the days sales would be.

 

Not Exactly like the one I saw on Pinterest.

But Not too bad for a Few hours of work.

The Pink & White side is the drop leaf-left down.

The other side the Girls were able to store staws-extra cups-napkins-supplies for their Lemonade & Baked Goods Stand in all the drawrs & Hide their money.

 

The Girls held a Lemonade & Baked Goods Sale in front of the shoppe-

(They were a big hit).

Settee Re-Upholster

Sharing One of our Pieces-

We Purchased a Pair of these Darling French Settee's From a Friend

While they were lovely, they were not the style of the shoppe or our style.

 

 

 

They have Perfect Lines, Fluted legs, Elegant Style.

 

Using our Aged White Finish- and Grain Custom Linen-

This one Turned out Perfect with some French Grain Pillows for added Texture.

Looked Amazing in the Shoppe.

 

      Now she has a New Home and were told she'll sit right in front of a Fireplace-for a Cozy Place to curl up.
