I have made a couple updates to our master bedroom. I received the dressing table stool in this post for free from a  family friend but I just couldn't figure out how to make it work. I wonder if I could do something with it now that I have my sewing machine but regardless I found the below stool at Diversity Thrift and snatched it up for $15. I used the same yellow Garden Ridge fabric   from my bedroom pillow  to cover the top. For the paint, I sanded the entire stool, then painted one thin coat of Martha Stewart Living Metallic Paint in Vintage Gold. (I also used this on Camille's Tutu table ). After drying, I took sandpaper and gently went over the painted stool. I also found some great fabric on clearance at Garden Ridge ...2 yards for $3! I really liked it better than the other two I put on the bench at the end of our bed. Read about those two here and here . It is sorta comical but the fabric from Garden Ridge is so cheap...I can change it out eve...

So I have many projects on the list that involve my sewing machine but my first one is complete! I finally used the fabric I purchased at Garden Ridge last February...3 yards for $5.99. I bought some trim at Hancock Fabrics for less than $4 and I cut the pillow form out of the pillow previously in this chair. C&C had to get in on the action! They love a photo shoot. I am happy with the results. On to the next project...curtains for Camille's room. They are cut and I just need to sew them now!
