Blogging has been slow, taking a back seat to life and a new project, so sit back and check out my new prop for my photo shoots! Found on a freebie site on Facebook, I was first to snag this free chair, it's sturdy, somewhat clean and would look great in a field of flowers for a photo shoot, or in front of a barn. The ideas ran through my head as I headed to town to pick it up! After inspecting it closer, the bottom seat was iffy, so my handyman hubby made me a new one. I had 4 different fabrics in mind for the seat cover but went with the heaviest one, to hold up longer. Then the fun began finding the perfect trim, I had it all along in my stash, along with the fabric. All I had to buy was a small can of paint and stuffing, I spent less than $10 on it.
And I love how it turned out! But then, another idea ran through my already crowded mind, have my handyman make another seat so I can change them out, he's in the process and probably hopes I don't find anymore freebies/projects for awhile! He's a good sport though and I couldn't do it all without him! By the way, yes I spray painted the back cushion, it was much easier and worked out great! I love a good freebie!!
Hey you missing little blogger. haha Life has been busy and hectic hasn't it? Well... your cutsie chair sure turned out beautiful and what a deal you got! Free to fabulicious!

ReplyDeleteHello Sue, Just getting caught up on some blogs this morning. I loved the chair makeover! And your craft room looked really inviting for all those projects we enjoy doing. So glad you are just doing so well in your new business! I treasure our blog friendship and I think of you often!
ReplyDeleteNow I ask you, where did that summer go? Yours Always. Roxy
I love when I find a great find, and free is the best. What a clever idea to use it in your photo shoots. Wanted to swing by and see what has been going on with you. I've really missed my blogging pals. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Good Afternoon, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that chair! What a great color.
I hope you have a wonderful week.

I can't believe you spray painted the cushion!!?? Didn't know it could be done but it looks great! My daughter is also a professional photographer. She has a chair similar to yours. A small local antique shop that has nice but cheap stuff for her photo props. Her clientele is mainly maternity, birth, newborns and children. She can do it all but once she got established she decided to do what she loved. She attended a photo convention in Nashville and Austin and learned a LOT about the business side of the profession.

You're so creative and productive it amazes me. I'm so excited for you about your photography. My little Amy, 12, had one of her photographs go to the Missouri State Fair this year.
ReplyDeleteMe? I'll hand the camera to someone else. ~smile~ I don't have the artistic eye you do.
