My hands are covered in primer, that's as far as I got. This weekend I promised myself to follow through with a how-to. I got about 27% of the way, I have two chairs and a side table primed and ready for paint and the chairs' fabric has been picked out. Now all I need is a staple gun and someone who can finish painting. I really enjoyed how-to week and was inspired to use some tools this weekend, felt great. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well. To bring how-to week to a close I have brought to you a few great $ money $ saving how-tos, the best kind...

I've actually completed this one!  It's simple and takes very little time. All it takes is a trip to a home improvement store for the plywood, a craft store for the batting and a fabric store for the fabric.

Honestly, this is waaaay out of my league. I do not own a needle and thread, let alone a whole sewing machine. If you're courageous, this how-to is a step-by-step with pictures and it sounds very simple, let me know how it goes.

Update

Updating flea-market finds, antique store deals and hand-me down furniture is a great way to put your personal style into a piece and make it fit into your home. These are great ideas to make them uniquely yours.

Another easy how-to. Follow the link from pinterest and see. All it takes is an iron, stitch-witchery or any other iron on fabric fastener, cutting the width needed for the stripes and grosgrain ribbon to finish the raw edges of the stripe.

How To...

... hang pictures for a gallery wall:

1. Focal point; pick an object as the center and fill outward.
2. Shape; pick an invisible shape (square, rectangle) and fill within those borders
3. Frame; frame everything in the same frame...like a gallery
4. Eclectic; hang it all but respect proportions, hang pictures equidistant from one another.

Test run, trace the shapes of your pictures, art, etc. on grocery bags and then hang to see how it will look before beginning to nail. Also, laying all pieces out on the floor helps to organize before they go up.
