Thrift It Challenge

Readers,
Liz Marie Blog

I recently read of a" thrift it" challenge on one of my favorite blogs.  Liz Marie blog.
She challenged her readers to redo a thrifted piece.   Thought I would share with you my thrifted piece, a vanity stool.  So here is the before and after pictures.
The Before Image of the vanity with gold fabric.



The gold fabric was in good condition, however it didn't work with my homes color scheme, so I reupholstered in linen fabric and hot glued this rosette (tutorial on this is here).  Here is my thrifted piece after a little work.









Here is another version using small rosettes.




As always thanks for reading this blog and hope this inspires you to thrift a piece and make it a reflection of you.

XOXO
SK
