Lack Hack

Another DIY post.  I know.  Whenever my mom and I get together, the "project juices" really start flowing.  Hence, the Ikea Lack Hack.  I had two square Lack tables (you know, the plain, square tables that are about $8) that were just taking up space in my living room area and had seen better days.  Enter: Pinterest.  I stumbled onto a few Lack ottoman tutorials and found one that I thought may work.

After speaking with my mom about the tutorial, she whipped up her own little diy pattern using a painter's drop cloth and helped put this window bench together for me in our guest room!  I had no idea that a painter's drop cloth (the heavy, canvas-like cover you use to protect the floor while painting) would work so well–plus it was only about $15, and I have pleeeenty of extra fabric for cushions, a tote bag, a table runner...well, you get the point.

Neat Seat

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I started my day out right with a quick (and super easy) DIY project–turning my outdoor hanging chair (that was sitting at the back of the patio collecting dust) into an indoor reading nook with plenty of pillows and blankets to wrap up in!

This all began in the early a.m. hours over a cup of coffee and some ebay searching.  I was actually looking for a big, vintage leather chair for Dylan to enjoy when I came across this:

When I realized that I had this exact chair (ok, ok, a "version" of it), I decided to drive straight to Lowes and get help puting my own together.  With a simple rectangular base, four tapered legs, and some electrical brackets, my chair became a reality, all for under $30 (ps, I got the chair from a neighbor who was going to throw it out...thanks Kristen!). 

I hope you have a wonderful day, and stay tuned: we are heading to the Brandon Food Truck Rally this afternoon and will report back soon on all the tasty treats we find!
