Decoupage Furniture with Fabric and ModPodge

Hope you all had a super weekend. I had a really busy week, so I was thankful to have a relaxing and fun weekend. I spent some time finishing or nearly finishing some of my many projects. I finished decoupaging one of two little chairs. I still need to seal everything with ModPodge and then I am going to seal the whole chair with a Poly Acrylic. I have to do the other chair, but it should be easier now, since I know a few shortcuts and better ways to do things. I used fabric instead of paper, and it turned out really nice.

I’m almost done with the other school desk I am refinishing, I should be able to finish it tomorrow, at least I hope I will. Then, I have to start on my 3rd desk project and start working on refinishing an antique desk for my studio/office. After that, I plan to start that stair painting project that I told you about for the basement stairs, and the stairs to my studio. I cannot wait to start painting the stairs! All I need is time.

I need to decide whether I am painting the table that goes with the little chairs with grape or turquoise paint. I am also toying with the idea of decoupaging the table top, but I don’t think I will, because I think the paint will be a nice contrast. Who knows though, I may change my mind and decoupage the table. You can see the chair below that needs to be sealed. Let me know what you think of it.

Have you ever done any decoupaging with fabric. Let me know if you have, and how it turned out.

Great Idea for Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers.

If you have toddlers or pre-schoolers who are learning the alphabet, how to spell their name and other words, then you may find this helpful. My kids have the Kidkraft Avalon table and chairs. I love this table because it is big and sturdy and adults can sit comfortably on the chairs. Anyway, I was in Sams Club the other day and saw this very large magnetic white board that happened to have a cork board on the other side. It was under $16.00, so quite a good deal. I bought it, and upon bringing it home noticed that it is the same size as the kids’ table. I put it on and added some Melissa and Doug alphabet magnetic letters, then I called in the kiddies and they had so much fun. Well, we had fun and it has been played with everyday since then. Now any kind of magnet will work on the board and I also bought them the Expo washable dry erase markers for children. Additionally I purchased the Crayola dry erase crayons, so they can practice writing their letters or other art on the board. Just wanted to share this as it is an inexpensive and educational ideas that kids will love.
