(If yous missed my "Before" together with plans amongst pattern board finally week, become ahead together with catch upwards here.)
I'm thrilled to live business office of the grouping participating inwards our Choose Your Own Adventure (3 week!) Refresh hosted past times Jewel of Jeweled Interiors.

Alright, every bit of finally night, here's where nosotros are. I took most of these photos yesterday... this projection is really happening real time, friends!
HOST CHAIRS-
Ta-daaaa, yous saw them above!! I'm inwards love! We had i perfect spray pigment twenty-four hours on Valentine's Day (the entirely twenty-four hours inwards recent history it's been over 50 degrees together with non crazy windy) together with I took wages of it together with knocked these chairs out. I sprayed the frames without removing whatsoever of the upholstery! Here's a await at how I did it, together with I saved my procedure amongst to a greater extent than details inwards my Instagram Story highlights nether "Chair Painting" if yous desire to run across more. (Chair Color here)
I removed the seats (they unscrew from the bottom) together with pulled the double pipe off of the dorsum side (surrounding the floral fabric) that I planned to switch out anyway. Then I completely covered the upholstery on both sides of the dorsum amongst record together with plastic. Needing a agency to agree the edges of the foam dorsum away from the wings a bit, I used some strips of stiff foam board together with wedged them downward betwixt the padding together with the wing, together with thus pulled the ii pieces together together with secured amongst record to agree them dorsum a bit. It ended upwards working slap-up together with my upholstery came out unscathed when I later on removed the plastic. I merely demand to brand together with add together the novel cording to the backs together with these volition live complete.
TABLE-
Remember, I bought a vintage Thomasville tabular array off of Craigslist that was inwards proficient condition, it merely had a twosome of H2O harm spots together with scratches on the top, together with the goal was agency likewise shiny. I sanded downward the transcend plenty to have got off the glossy goal together with the edges where they were scuffed, together with thus merely finished staining it yesterday. I volition live starting to topographic point the finally transcend coat of polyurethane on it today together with goal amongst a instant coat tomorrow. I didn't impact the legs at all, merely freshening upwards the top.
I'm loving the table, the lighter color is a prissy modify from my onetime super dark one, together with yous tin run across how large it is amongst all of the leaves... We'll live able to stand upwards for 10-12 people around it! For every twenty-four hours I'll merely travel on i of the leaves inwards together with seats for 8. That photograph is after I sanded but earlier whatsoever staining. I'm doing that within since it's continually thus mutual frigidity outside, but nosotros ended upwards having to motility it inwards the Study where I tin closed the doors. The cats occasionally hop on it to await out the window, don't desire them doing that when I'm waiting for the poly to dry! ;) We'll run some fans inwards at that topographic point also to aid cutting downward on the fumes together with travel on them contained.
SIDE CHAIRS-
I hired my boy to strip off the upholstery together with it was worth. every. penny!!! (He was happy to acquire some extra cash together with amongst the schoolhouse vacation this calendar week together with an extra snow/ice twenty-four hours nosotros had, he had plenty of fourth dimension to knock them out.) I'm getting novel foam for the seats since the old wasn't that proficient together with had actually broken downward together with that volition live create to pick upwards tomorrow. Today we're having i to a greater extent than decent weather condition day, thankfully!, thus I'm planning to acquire the frames all sprayed white today.
Last calendar week I shared that I'll live adding to a greater extent than Chiang Mai Dragon cloth to the backs, together with I wanted to hand yous a create out tip today. This is an expensive designer fabric, thus I ever await for remnants at a discount online. While searching, I came across some 17"x17" sample pieces for sale. They were the perfect size to cut down for the dorsum of my chairs, together with they were entirely $13 each! (Way less than purchasing yardage.) This is such a slap-up choice if you'd similar to have got a impact of this fabulous fabric. It's non quite large plenty for a proficient pillow, but I could run across it running downward the middle of a lumbar amongst some other color blocked on the edges. The entirely drawback is that yous don't actually acquire to pick out the pattern on the slice you're getting, thus I ordered i extra merely to have got an choice if I needed it.
Here's the large modify of plans from finally week/surprise for this week... I said that I would in all likelihood purpose a pretty chambray colored company chenille for the within dorsum together with seats of the circular chairs, but I couldn't acquire super excited well-nigh it. After searching hours online together with coming upwards empty, I checked out a few local cloth stores i to a greater extent than time, together with hit the jackpot! As presently every bit I saw this navy together with dark-green geometric fabric, I knew I had to purpose it. Granted, I hemmed together with hawed for a few days trying to create upwards one's heed if it was a sensible choice- fifty-fifty though my pump was totally inwards it- but finally decided to become for it! I've never seen this cloth earlier together with at that topographic point wasn't whatsoever identifying information on it, thus I know nix well-nigh it, sorry! The color is a fighting off inwards the photo, it's a truthful kelly dark-green velvet/chenille mixed amongst a polish navy.
My biggest drawback when trying to create upwards one's heed whether to purpose it or non was that it's such a stiff pattern, it mightiness live hard to travel around amongst all of the tablescapes that I do. Ultimately, though, I decided I'd rather have got something exciting to await at every twenty-four hours than pattern around an occasional tablescape that's laid up! ;)
LIGHTING-
We haven't had a jeopardy to install the novel Garden City sconces from Hudson Valley yet, but I have got a feeling they'll live i of my favorite parts of the room! There volition live i on each side of the Red People's Republic of China Cabinet.
ARTWORK-
Although our grouping is super grateful for our sponsor my DIY abstract painting is merely across the hallway following to this wall, I didn't intend it would work. I spent plenty of fourth dimension looking, though, together with these beauties caught my eye!
I'm planning to create something a picayune dissimilar amongst a twosome of position unit of measurement photos, but am withal trying to create upwards one's heed which frames together with organization I'll use. Here are my options (with a petroleum photoshop of the sconces added in):
I have got a pair of bamboo frames (pic on flooring is same frame every bit top, border border merely isn't painted dark similar transcend one) or a pair of the chunkier, evidently frames. I actually desire to purpose the bamboo but am trying to create upwards one's heed if they're large enough. If I purpose the bigger frames, I'd in all likelihood pigment that dark woods toned inset some other color. Regardless of frame, I'm planning to purpose a white mat for the photograph I topographic point inside.
(Total rabbit trail... that framed film on the flooring was past times Joni Eareckson Tada. Did anyone else grow upwards hearing her story together with reading her biography similar I did? She was paralyzed every bit a teenager from the cervix downward after a diving accident but learned how to describe together with pigment past times belongings a brush inwards her teeth. She has lived such an inspiring life! I bought the film at a thrift store because I knew I'd desire the frame some day, but it was a neat surprise to abide by her label on the back. I didn't fifty-fifty realize until I dug this out to the attic that I already had the exact frame hanging inwards my sleeping room amongst my kids' film inwards it, must have got been some other thrifted purchase!)
If I halt upwards using the bamboo frames, I could add together a platter over the artwork to fill upwards the infinite a fighting more. Decisions, decisions!
So, at that topographic point yous have got it, a whole lot is happening but nix is complete. My goal to live finished past times Tuesday thus I tin fashion together with photograph for Thursdays reveal. I'd tell I have got my travel cutting out for me, don't yous think?
To Do:
*Make cording for side chairs together with host chairs
*Side Chair Upholstery, seats together with backs

*Select position unit of measurement photos to frame, cutting mats, together with assemble

We all desire to hand a huge thank yous for our sponsors, can't hold back to exhibit off my installed sconces to yous following week!
