    I have watched many videos about painting upholstered furniture and am a bit skeptical (it looks scary). I’m hoping you may try some of these techniques and let me know which is best, or if they work or not.

      Hi Diane! While I haven’t done a video on painting upholstered furniture, I have done a blog post which you can find here: https://checkinginwithchelsea.com/the-armchair-reimagined/ I must say it leaves the fabric stiff and a little crunchy. So if you have a buttery-soft chair, it probably won’t still be soft once you paint it. I would still recommend it as a cheap and easy way to update an outdated chair or sofa, especially if you might re-upholster it anyway! ~Chelsea

    Can’t believe you only spent $50! Truly a great upgrade for a very minimal budget. Looks fancy, and DIY-friendly. Great job, Chelsea!

    Wow, Chelsea! I can do that! I shared it on Facebook with all my friends so they can try it. When I move into my next house, I can’t wait to put Board & Batten up! Thank you!

    How easy is it to upholstery an arm chair?

      Hi Dawn! I would not categorize upholstering an arm chair as easy! I’ve never done it before, but it seems very involved and time-consuming! I’m sure you could do it with determination and a good tutorial! ~Chelsea

    Chelsea; 1st; Kuddos to you as an inspiration to all of us female DIY’s/renovators. My primary question is how do you smooth/finish off the rough edges of the pexiglass used on the coffee table? please add that to the video info.

      Hi Edith! That’s a good question! It did not need any smoothing or sanding! There were no rough edges. Thanks for watching! ~Chelsea

Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Build Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Building a shelf unit custom for ANY space in your home is so simple and can be done over and over again to add much needed storage aka sanity! The kids were running all over the house at bedtime trying to find a book to read because we had them stashed in baskets and shelves in several different rooms. So I took advantage of this space in the hall next to a closet to create a central location for their books and some of mine too! Plus it adds a little character to an otherwise blah space!🙌🏻

3D art install in my girls’ girly bedroom!🦋😍Love this $13 pack of butterflies that comes with everything you need to fill a large wall! And it only takes 30 minutes!🙌🏻 Putting the link to the butterflies in my bio! (https://amzn.to/3VmfZsB)
.

First step is to layout the flow of your fluttering butterflies with the large and medium sizes from the pack, leaving room for the small ones. Then fill in spaces with the small size and pat yourself on the back! So easy!
The whole Wolfpack has been staying at my parents’ house on the river for the past week while our hardwood floors are being refinished. Since the kids had the whole week off of school it has really felt like a vacation! Complete with a sunny Sunday boat ride after Mass!🥰🚤☀️Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😘
