Metamorphosis Monday and a Settee


I found this cutie at a thrift shop. It was rusty and broken in some areas. Sorry, forgot to take before pics!

I cleaned and welded the rusty and broken areas, primed it, then gave it a nice shiny coat of red rustoleum paint! Isn't it just too cute? When time permits, I will make cushions for it for the seat and back. I think I have some vintage tablecloths that might work! Stay tuned!
I'm linking up to Susan of Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday Let's al go take a tour and see what the other ladies have been up to!

Have a Creative Day!

Welcome to 21st Metamorphus Monday


Before




After


Welcome to my first Met Monday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch . Thanks Susan!
My change is the little console table (sitting against the wall in a brown tone). I painted this in the Mackenzie-Childs style and added pieces of broken pottery shards to the legs. I also made tassels and added them all around. Oh...this goes to my sisiter who this loves this type of painted furniture..I prefer the shaby style! Thank you for visiting and I hope ya'll enjoy looking at all the different blogs that have joined in Met Monday!!


Have a great week!

Warm Hugs,

Linda

Porch Magazine....










My Porch magazine arrived the other day and can you believe I actually laid it aside and forgot about it? But what a treat when I came across it while rearranging my rooms. If you haven't seen this magazine yet, you need to, as it is all about the wonderful women who blog and have businesses. Porch was started solely to promote bloggers and their businesses. It's limited to "Eye Candy" and that's such a nice break from all the advertising and articles in those "other magazines". You will truly get your money's worth! Stay tuned for a Special Give-a-way this month.

By the way, the conservatories in the photo above are made by Linda at Linda's Blue Gate. She is such a wonderful lady to deal with, as I have bought a few of her goodies such as the beautiful handkerchief lamp and bell cloches. Shipped promptly and arrived without a scratch. You don't have to go to Canton...I just found them on her blog and commented that I wanted them! Thanks Linda!
