One Thing Leads to Another and a Little Blue Chair

Thanks to Steph over at The Silly Pearl for filling my afternoon with cleaning and reorganization!  Let me explain . . .  I saw this adorable message board she made using vintage spools and buttons from an old sewing box she snagged.   That reminded me that I have two vintage sewing boxes of my own. 

This one belonged to my Aunt's Mother-in-Law

This one belonged to my Grandma

That thought led me to think I should get them out and display them and that a good spot would be my sewing/stamping room.  THAT led me to realize that the room was an absolute disaster area.  Can't believe I'm posting these pictures!

So that one little bulletin board that Steph created led me to an entire afternoon of cleaning, organizing, rearranging and finally . . .

a fairly clean, organized work space!  I bought an over-the-door shoe organizer for all of my spray paints, brushes, etc. I'd like to add some decorative touches, accent lamps, etc. but that's another project for another day.  

So what's the "Little Blue Chair"?  

Here she is . . . isn't she adorable?! I've been looking and looking for a chair to paint and put on my front porch (which is currently a VERY sad looking place!).  

I found this little gal at our local thrift store today wearing a $10.00 price/name tag but all furniture was half off!  I thought it was amusing they put "blue chair" on the tag.  And believe it or not . . . this is one comfy chair even without a cushion (which I may add when she's finished).  Now it's time for a nice hot cup of tea.  Happy weekend everyone!
