A Makeover

Remember when I told you I was saving my new favorite piece of furniture for a future reveal?

(probably you don't....because goodness knows we've been through two seasons since then!)

Well, as they say.... no time like the present! :)

Here's a peek at my MOST favorite room in the house {for now at least} and the lovely piece that I just can't get enough of.

For a minute I thought about adding her to the shop....but I think this beauty has officially been added to the D.N.S. list {Do Not Sell}. (I think Michael hates that list!)

This antique cane couch was a crazy good Craigslist deal!

I literally stalked the poor owner until she finally answered the phone.

Two hours later, the couch found a home in our garage.

....where she patiently waited.

FINALLY....

Two seasons later, she gets a well-deserved makeover!

The yellow velvet cushions were replaced with the inexpensive, always lovely canvas drop cloth and some clearance pillows that I picked up at Marshall's for a steal.

Next, I added a quick coat of Light French Grey and an ebony stain wash.

Since it still didn't look QUITE right, I dry-brushed some of Benjamin Moore's White Dove over the top.
