TV Cabinet Makeover: Take 2

Hi everyone!!

Remember when I shared with you Take 1 of the Cabinet Makeover?

Now here is the FINAL look after I repainted it, I'm in LOVE with this!!!!

It started out like this after the previous attempt to change the cabinet:

I taped off stripes how far I wanted them apart. It actually worked out great in the end. Then I painted every other stripe with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen.

The remaining stripes was painted with French Linen mixed with a little Old White. I wanted a very similar colour, just lighter.

I think it looks pretty amazing!!!

Have a blessed week!!!

Drab to Fab Tea/Coffee Canister Makeover

Today I want to share this fabulous makeover I did with cheap tea/coffee canisters.

When I bought these for next to nothing it looked like this...

First I spray painted it with leftover bright red. It is stunning near my newly painted cabinet. It looked a lot better even with the white lids, but I decided to paint the lids to match these buckets. I painted the lids with Annie Sloan ChalkPaint in Duck Egg Blue.

I cannot give this product enough praise! It's just spectacular! I only needed one coat of the ChalkPaint and it was soo easy to apply. I added a coffee- and tea label I found at a antique shop to two of the canisters. It looks great!!!

I love the character it gives to the coffee-making area of my kitchen!

Thanks for visiting! Have you liked my new Facebook page ?

I’m Melanie (aka Miss Melvis) and I started my blog “Me, Bookshelf and I” so that I could share my passion for reading with others but also so that I could blog about all the things I love the most. I started writing book reviews and found that I really enjoyed it and I love sharing those reviews with others via my blog, Goodreads, Amazon and Waterstones.  I work full time and therefore do not have the time I would like to review books but I do try to review as many as possible in the limited time I have.

DIY Faux Roman Blind

Hi! Hope you had a great weekend!!!

Today I'll be showing you how I made a Faux Roman Blind.

I had 2 eyelet curtains from our previous home. I used the 1 to reupholster our coffee table. The other 1 came in handy when I wanted to make a blind/valance for the dining room window. 

Let's get started...

 

I spread the curtain on the dining room table. My husband measured the holes in the wall and put some screws into the wooden plank - what a sweetie! 

I cut off the eyelets to just use the fabric. It was super easy to use, because the seams were already there. My kind of project ;-)

Measure the window. Mark and cut the fabric to the window's measurements, leave quite a bit for seam allowance.

 

I used the staple gun to secure the one end of the fabric to the wooden plank. I left the screws in the plank so that it won't be visible from the front.

 I secured the fabric to the rest of the top of the plank. I folded the corners in and stapled it secured. I didn't really care to do it neatly as this side will face the wall...

Next I 'seamed' the left and right side of the blind. I used the existing seam as a guideline. I used Bostik's No-Sew Glue, it's so easy to use. I just put a little on, wait a few minutes and 'seam' the fabric.  I did the same with the bottom seam.

And that's how easy it is to make your own faux roman blind!!

Enjoy your week!!
