a quick project for the studio

In between the massive downloads I've been doing at the studio I've been trying to take care of some projects for our new studio space................I picked up this cute little round table from Le Fluer Decor . The owners name is kelly and lately I keep running into independent business owners who are either named Kelly or Nicole. 'my Nicoles' [kalil & kilpatrick] & I joke that if we ever formed a band we should be called 'kel leigh & the nicoles'. not that any of us can sing or play an instrument but at least we have the name taken care of.]

Ok, back to the table........so I loved it & knew immediately where I was going to put it in the new studio space, but it happened to be bright grape bubblegum purple & the top had a couple gouges at the edge. A little sanding, couple coats of paint & primer in one [i am in love with this new paint & primer in one-it's wonderful!] and the table is reborn. But it felt like it needed a little something more so I scavenged through my piles of fabric and came across this lovely green and rose number. The pink in the fabric was a perfect match and I've been wanting to use this fabric again, I also have it in a square black frame above the bed.

[if you attempt this let me give you a couple suggestions....1.trace the shape you're cutting out on the back side of the fabric with chalk, i used some sidewalk chalk i had around. why i had sidewalk chalk i'm not sure but it came in pretty handy. 2.when you go to put the fabric on leave one side flipped back on itself while smoothing & removing bubbles from the middle out, then move on to the side you had flipped up, smoothing from the middle again. 3.embrace that your fabric will not be perfect & un-frayed. i actually like the ends a bit frayed and uneven.]

.......all finished! This was the first time I've covered a table with fabric & I'm pretty happy with the results. {thanks nicole for letting me borrow your floor. can't wait for the studio to be done!!}

stumble it !
