Turquoise Chair Makeover

One day when I was out thrifting with my mom and Jarr I cam across a little group of miss matches chairs that where pretty beat up and all needed homes. So I decided they could all come home with me and get makeovers. 

The first chair that I redid is this little wooden beauty. She went to my first craft show with me on my New Adventure. These pictures were actually taken at the craft show when I was setting up and realized I didn't have any pictures of her. So I snapped a couple of quick ones before the people started showing up. 

I used two coats of primer and then two coats of the turquoise and sanded her down in between each coat. She didn't get any stain or vanish in my rush to make sure she was finished and she sold anyway. I still think she turned out lovely even without any distressing in all her glory.

This was a really comfortable old wooden chair that I am really happy with how it turned out. 

What do you think of this old beauty? 

I'm linking up at these parties most days. 

New Adventure

Over the last 6 months I have started a new business venture with my mom and aunt. We are going to different craft shows and rodeos selling jewelry, purses, belts, hats, scarves, and my hand made home decor. We have been quite successful at this new little business venture and are having a wonderful time doing it. I always dreamed of selling some of my decor that I've been making for my own home for years. I never thought that my mom and aunt would get in on the action with me though.

This has been a great adventure for us and I'm so glad that we have decided to do this together. I am hoping that maybe someday I could open up my own boutique and try to make this a real career. All these years of college education and almost finishing with my degree and now I decide I want to do this. I guess I should squeeze a few business classes in these last 2 semesters so I have some idea of what I'm doing. 

A faith sign and cross. 

Any advice you lovely ladies have would be greatly appreciated! We are brand new and trying to make things work. It's amazing how helpful people are in these situations! We have had so many amazing people come and help us figure everything out! 

Have a wonderful day ladies!
