Miss Mustard Seed Inspiration (& a little perspiration!)

Here's a little inspiration (aka "copy cat")
If you don't know her - which is almost impossible to imagine -
then she is:
"The Slipcover Star"
"The Perfector of Painted Furniture"
"The Music Wreath Mama"
"The Drop Cloth Diva"
And much more!
I am joining the "Copy Me Challenge" that she issued.
I was inspired by MMS to slipcover an ottoman.....


Paint an old stool.....


Slipcover a chair....
Make a cushion for the ottoman....
Paint my Grammy's telephone table & chair....




Make a music wreath....


Bleach (with her directions) drop cloths
and make panels for the dining room.....


Upholster 4 antique chairs with a drop cloth and double piping.....


Paint 6 Hepplewhite chairs Heirloom White.....


And paint a brass lamp Heirloom White.
(BTW, I have a new, round burlap shade....forgot to take a photo.)

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
Thanks, Miss Mustard Seed, for sharing your
creativity with Blogland.
I am happy to copy you!
Blessings to you, MMS, and to you readers!
Linda
