Summer is here and if you're like me you'll agree that there's nothing better then spending some time at a pool, lake or beach to relax and unwind, read a book or enjoy making memories with friends and family.
In this post we are talking about how easy it is to create DIY coastal weathered furniture and home decor using Saltwash™.
Someday, I would love to have a lake house or beach front property. It's on my bucket list! ;) If you're looking to create DIY coastal home decor to go with yours, we can help!

I still can't believe that it's April! I love Arizona in the Spring. (Okay, let's be real. I love Arizona, period.) But, especially right now! Currently, we are enjoying the most amazing smelling orange blossoms and fresh limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruits are drooping heavy on the trees. It's a great time to come visit! Fresh orange juice anyone? Okay, how about some freshly squeezed ice cold limeade/lemonade? Twist my arm, I say! ;)

Good morning! When I think about the month of November, I usually associate it with being thankful. (Although gratitude should be expressed all year long), I wanted to take an extra minute to say how THANKFUL I am that I get to be apart of The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest. It has been so FUN to meet new TALENTED friends and to see all of your amazing furniture makeovers each and every month!
The #fabflippincontest for November is going to be a GOOD one! Minted is our sponsor. Have you been introduced? If not, you're in for a real treat!

I have a quick furniture flip of my own to share. Introducing bright colors and bold patterns is a great way to freshen up a space without a lot of effort. Reupholstering a piece of furniture can be for both the novice and the beginner! What can you do with a little paint, foam, Minted fabric and a staple gun? Read on!
I started with this cute little Kids Bench. It had a dark cherry finish, some peeling veneer, great storage capacity and one hard seat! The original finish wasn't our style and the comfort factor was a zero!
Who wants to read on a hard bench? Not I. :) The old veneer was removed, new veneer was added and the bench was painted it in a warm white color. Next, we addressed that lack of comfort. ;) We cut down a 1/4 inch board to the size of the bench, added some foam and used a staple gun to adhere this lovely Hexipattern Fabric in Orange to it.
Put it altogether and we've got a cute, functional and comfy place for the kids to plunk down with their favorite book.
Our November 2015, "Take A Seat" Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest begins now and we can't wait to see the submissions pour in... Good luck!
