Trying a new style

Oh Miss Mustard Seed, what can I do to copy you?? 

This was a nit more of a challenge for me, my typical style is more funky junk, but I am drawn to miss mustard seed as well, so this challenge was fun for me!! I chose 3 projects to do, a chair cushion, a desk, and a magazine rack. 

Here are the before and after of the desk and chair, no before of the magazine rack, but it was a dark stained wood, with a plastic cover over the top....ewww! 

I started with the chair cushion, I love how she paints on fabric, so I used freezer paper & my cricut to make my own stencils for this project.

Freezer paper works great!! You just iron it on and it pulls right off when you are done leaving now residue! I then made a ruffle and piping to go around the edge of the cushion. 

The magazine rack is up next! I gave it 2 good coats of black spray paint, using rustoleum 2 x coverage! I took the top of and recovered with burlap. Now to Miss Mustard Seed it, I added a muslin ruffle to the bottom edge, and finished it off with a crocheted ribbon around the top edge, I used hot glue to attach it. 

 I then hand painted this little design on the front, just to add a little character. I love how it turned out! Normally I would have stopped at the burlap, but I am glad I pushed myself to go further for this challenge!!

The desk. This desk I repainted this summer, you can see that post HERE. But for this challenge I wanted to add something fun! I started by taping off the top and painting it with black chalkboard paint. 

 Not sure yet what I wanted to do, I just started playing around with my paints.

I ended up with a giant tree, I added in a few birds and owls for fun! 

So there you have it, 3 fun projects to copy MMS!! I had fun doing all 3 and know that I will be doing more like this in the future!! 

I also entered Donna's Challenge over at Funky Junk Interiors, you can see that post HERE!
