Another Before picture that I failed to take! It was a faded wood bench with faded green metal frame. I painted the entire frame black, including the wood on the back. The bottom I padded first then covered with outdoor fabric. The pillows are tied on so that they don't dissapear with our wind storms.
Turns out I made one curtain panel to many.. since there was already the space sewed in where the curtain rod was going to go all I had to do was sew the ends together and add some elastic, and here it is, along with a matchy matchy headband :)
Oops! I forgot to take before pictures of both of these! The candle holders were dark brown and the table, a lighter wood with wicker baskets. BORING!! I love color, so I went with this bright blue and painted the baskets white. I also added some white storage boxes.
I wanted to add a little bit of something to this boring green lamp shade, so I gatered some fabric under the bottom of the lamp shade and secured with a hot glue gun and added a fabric flower with some clear fabric stones.
