  • I just love my dropsheet sofa slipcover transformation. It looks beautiful and it looks like a brand new sofa!
  • I measured each panel on the couch to create a pattern for the project.
  • At this point I was optimistic and really pleased with the pattern.
  • Cutting the fabric in preparation for sewing.
  • I pinned the pieces in place before sewing together.
  • I pinned the pieces in place on the sofa before sewing them together.
  • My bag cushion cover is the easiest ever. I tuck the ends in to create a neat edge.
  • The last step was to hem the bottom of the cover.
  • The stencil I made to use to decorate my lil cushion.
  • My lil drop sheet canvas cushion.
  • The cover is easily removable for washing and even bleaching if necessary so we can enjoy it without being precious about it.
  • Now we have an updated, modern and practical sofa that we just love. Now to cover the other one...oh boy!
  • My twirly drawers now have a new lease on life and a new home.
  • These twirly drawers had definitely seen better days but I knew they were solid and extra beautiful quality so it would be worth the effort.
  • The first challenge was to sand all of the ink from the top and then navigate around the lip. It was too large to sand down into a neat curve so I had to hand sand around the edge until I was happy with the result.
  • This little guy had been battered and bruised so I filled up the holes and dints then after sanding it, gave it a good clean inside and out.
  • Whenever my husband and I visit Bunnings, he goes to the mowing section and I head straight to the paint section, namely the mistint table:) I was lucky to find this jar for $3.95. It was a very dark blue and it's a color I had always wanted to try so I was really pleased.
  • I love making my own chalkpaint out of 2 parts paint and 1 part talcum powder. It goes on so easily with great coverage and sands in between coats to a really smooth finish. You can also add a bit of water to it or lightly mist you furniture with a spray bottle before applying it if you think it's too thick. But there was also another reason I used it for this project.
  • And that reason was, the original timber filler I used to fill up the marks and dents seemed to come out after I had put on the first coat of paint. I decided to go back to Bunnings and get some stronger wood filler. I thought Selleys Plastic Cement sounded strong so I refilled ALL of the dents and proceeded to resand.
