Fabric wall art and DIY Chair

Hello, Friends
Here are a few projects I worked on this week. I recovered this message board, with a orange Damask fabric. I have a thing for damask print right now, its just lovely!
Fabric message board
Cut fabric to size and hot glue it around the board.
Make sure to tuck the corners nicely. 
Voila!
I can use this as a message board or as a fabric wall art, but I decided I am going to use this as wall art. I have something else I am going to add to this piece, so this project is to be continue. : )

I decided I want a wall of plates, so I started off with these plates for right now. I will be shopping around for some more plates to add to this wall. This project is to be continue. : )
I added my wall art with another piece to my kitchen counter. I am always in my kitchen and I enjoy looking at these two pieces everyday. These are powerful words! 
Last weekend I went to three yard sales and I found this lovely chair. Yes, its ugly, but will be lovely soon. I just wanted to show you the before. This chair looks rough! I need to decide what color I am going to paint it, before this weekend. Any ideas my dear bloggy friends? I love your comments and I live for them. : - ) So, drop me a line.





I am so glad I am able to cross things off my list as the holidays are fast approaching. I love this time of year, because I am able to gather with my family and friends and make beautiful memories. I love for my photos this year to look different from last year, hence this is why I am changing things around. I have four weeks to finish all my projects and I should be done. I am so glad you stop by and remember I LOVE comments. Have a Bless day! 

Vanessa

    Great site, Vanessa. I love your idea of the fabric covered message board. It just inspired me for a message board that I need in my little office corner of my kitchen!
    I'm also very much into crafts, sewing and knitting.
    If you get a chance, I have two sites you could visit. So glad we met on FB.

    I love your blog! Thanks for commenting so I could find you. The chair... turquoise :) and the upholstery, white. Just my opinion. Anything you do will be great (unless you choose peach, but you wouldn't, right?).

    Beautiful fabric, Vanessa. That is going to be just lovely. Also like that chair -- great bones. You gave me an "AHA" moment with your plate wall. I have been wanting to do some black & white somewhere in my home, but just wasn't sure where. Now I know, but I'm not spillin' the beans yet....lol!
    Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog and for following. Hope everyone is feeling better & ready to have a Happy Weekend!
