Old Desk and Computer Chair re-do with Amy Butler Fabric

My sister Tiffany is amazing when it comes to re-doing thrift store furniture!! Look at this computer chair that she re-did with some adorable Amy Butler Fabric. All the directions will be posted on her blog today at www.thechildrensnest.blogspot.com
Jen at Sanctuary Arts is hosting You’ve should have seen it before party so make sure to hop on over to see everyone’s projects! Here is a chunky old desk that she found at a thrift store but it was missing one drawer ….for $30.00! It had great lines so she painted it white. Then she found a basket to put in the drawer space. See below…
I am sooo loving the baskets in the drawer space. Also check out the lamp and the notebooks. It all coordinated to look so dang cute.

Please go to blog to get all the details on the re-do, the lamp, and the notebooks.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
