Her Beauty Revealed...

Finally!!

Yes, finally I can share with you all my sofa transformation!

Whew...this was a lot of work,
 but soo happy with how she turned out.

I hope you will agree, well worth.the.wait!

I am in love with this beauty...
her, true beauty that is.

She is now dressed in a beautiful French blue paint
that is distressed to accent all her gorgeous details and curves.

The cream canvas fabric is the perfect backdrop for fun
 "pops" of color and pattern that adds a little Whimsy to the room!

 

Before I share her transformation

Let's look back where I started...


When I bought her, She was dingy, dirty and in desperate need of a makeover! 

Her bones were strong and beautiful,
and of course at just the right price...

$50 dollars, I saw the potential...

 

So, I started to peel back her layers...

 

little by little repairing her cracks here and there.

 

Giving her a fresh new coat of paint...


*via Google
and all the while, keeping this beautiful inspiration in mind...

If your ready, so am I...
 excited to share the reveal of her true beauty!!

 

TA-DA!!!

I swoon every time I walk in my door and see her...*le sigh*

 

A little envious...her curves are in all the right places...

 

The perfect little feet in her Cinderella story...


I now have the "just" right spot to
 enjoy my favorite inspirations...


She is always beautifully dressed...

 

Versatile in her accessories...


Depending on the mood she is in...I adore her.


Yes, she was well worth the work...and hopefully the wait!!

 A little happiness and Whimsy has been
added in to our home with her presence.

I will share a tutorial on her transformation soon.

Have a "Safe and Spook-tacular Halloween!!"

Hugs to you all!

  27. Found you on Thrifty Decor Chick. Of course this couch looks amazing. Why? Because you clearly took your time to do it right. I see so many before and after's where it's clear the doer wanted it done ASAP and just spray painted a new color and quick-stapled new fabric on and called it a day. But it's clear that you knew this piece was worth the time and effort to do it RIGHT. And it sure shows. Great job. Glad I found your blog!
