A whole new kitchen

Just before leaving for Christmas vacation, Joel and I purchased a new table off of KSL. This table had GREAT potential! It's got a stainless steel top, but the legs and chairs of the table were a light wood..so we decided to fix it up a bit! We spray painted the legs of the table as well as the chairs, and then added cushions to the seats of the chairs.  I roughly used the outline given by Martha Stewart on how to make a seat cushion.

  We also re-covered a lovely picture that I've had for a while.  It's an awesome "painting" of Venice..but it just wasn't fitting the style of our house. Since I love this painting however I really didn't want to just get rid of it..so we just put fabric over it for now so that If I decide I still want it, you just have to uncover it.

We had to attach a layer of white fabric over it first to make sure the painting wasn't seen through the pattern of our new fabric. To attach it, we just stretched the fabric over the frame and used our staple gun to attach it in the back.

 

The finished product of all the kitchen projects!

  2. Hi! I thought I'd look up your blog to see all your fun projects. That is such a great idea for the picture. I have one like that and I feel the same way. I might just have to copy your genius :)

    1. You totally should! Instead of just being a picture that i kind of like, it's now an awesome statement piece. Thanks for looking me up. I was hoping that I would remember to look you up, but this just makes it easier.lol
