Dumpster transformation!

So we mentioned before that there is a wonderful week in Fargo/Moorhead that is called clean up week. I would consider it a holiday that we celebrate. We wanted to share some of our dumpster transformations with you. Yes, people threw goodies out in their trash.....but no need to worry.....the White House Gals rescued several treasures before there time was done. Each has their own story..........

This little chair I saw great potential in.

My mom got this a while ago at a thrift store...and it didn't take much in talking her to give it to me.....haha...I fell in love with the tribal print. Who would actually wear this awesome vest in the first place? Might as well give it some love.

So put it on a chair. Add some pen painted free handed arrows and you got yourself a pretty dang cute little chair.

How cute would this be at a cabin or in a deer shack? They can be pretty too right?

Tribal Chair

So once again I got inspired by the fabulous  Vintage Revivals.  The talented Mandi from Vintage Revivals was inspired by this print from Pockettiger {which p.s. she has an AMAZING etsy shop}. Which she used as art on a mantle headboard.  I just feel in love with the tribal look.

So I added it to a different element, a folding chair!! You can find these boring folding chairs almost anywhere!  & for CHEAP!  Which is the best part about it!

 So here's how I did it.

You will need a paint pen (I got a metallic gold one at Walmart for under $3), painters tape, and a ruler. First I measured it out so that each arrow was two inches wide and taped it off with painters tape. Then I free handed arrows in each row with a paint marker. I love it more than I even imagined! Its absolutely awesome!!! I love arrows an metallic's! Inspiration is free....now run with it!
