We all know I'm a huge fan of just about anything "on wood" but I had no idea just how much I was going to love the crochet table cloth hacked & tacked to a couple of pieces of thrifted furniture.
Things are coming together quite nicely in the new house. If you've had a peek inside my place you'd notice that there was only a tiny patch of our bedroom photographed. We've been looking for something nice & skinny for the TV to sit on. It's in an awkward place because it's very close to the ensuite door.
I'd picked up this glass fronted cabinet at the Op Shop (for $5) intending for it to be hidden in The Date's office & reserved for his "straight to the pool room" golf trophies & such. It looked ridiculous & he pitched it out into the hallway earlier in the week. I seconded it for this maybe temporary maybe permanent fixture in the bedroom.
I'm not a huge wrap for the basket shelves (which came out of this unit) I've fashioned below & prefer a more open look. I've got another idea for that (which will hopefully still hide the power cords). I'll keep you updated.
While I had the glue gun out I worked a bit of crochet magic on this sweet chair (also Opped for the princely sum of $5).

So I think I've managed a pretty nice bedroom makeover for under $20! Unbeatable value & my very favourite ... reused, repurposed, recrafted, upcycled.
If you fancy having a go at this yourself it's just super-easy-thrown-together fun.
You'll need...
double sided tape, spray adhesive, hot glue gun, a thrifted crochet table cloth ($2-$8).
For the cabinet...
Using double sided tape create a frame on the inside of the door (as close to the glass as possible).
Then...
Rough cut the table cloth to size. Keep all the motifs intact at this stage.
Now...
Expose the double sided tape & position your crochet piece.
And...
Use your hot glue gun to more permanently adhere the crochet piece.
Finally...
Trim away excess fabric so that everything looks nice & neat.
Repeat for the other door.
For the chair...
Rough cut the table cloth to size. Keep all the motifs intact at this stage.
Then...
Spray the wrong side of the tablecloth piece with spray adhesive.
Now...
Position on the chair.
And...
Use your hot glue gun to more permanently adhere the crochet piece.
Finally...
Trim away excess fabric so that everything looks nice & neat.
