I was so fortunate to receive a pile of burlap coffee sacks from my good friend
Mel over at Junkin Junky a while back. She had done a project with coffee sacks and I commented how jealous I was, and how I wasn't able to get any around here. Well that sweet thing just went ahead and sent me some. Love her!
I hope if you haven't already been to her blog, head on over and check her out. Wow, does she ever have some crazy talent! I still don't think that gal sleeps because she just cranks out project after project. Funny, she assures me she gets her shut-eye but I think she must be sleep walking and crafting at the same time!
I feel bad because they've pretty much been collecting dust. I came across them the other day and thought I should start putting these to use, so decided I would recover my black bench in the Dining Room.
Here is the before, a little boring!
Now I just need to tackle some pillows. Should I do them with the remaining sacks I have?
Or maybe I'll just make one big one, any thoughts?
I've decided to start tackling the many projects I have on my list this summer. So its nice to get this one checked off! I'm currently doing a fun art piece for my entry.
So stayed tuned!

Yay! You were able to put them to use. Perfect for the bench and it looks unified next to your drapes. A bolster for the back of the bench would be fantastic.
Trust me, I sleep, just not a lot :)

So cute! I adore burlap!
WOW who would have thunk it??? It really looks great and the words add to that casual yet aromatically bold flavor. W.C.C
Love that! Such great texture and color.
I just bought me a cafe bag a couple of weeks ago to redo a chair I bought at goodwill. I love the idea but my bag was kind of stinky Burlap. How do you freshen that up?
What an incredible makeover. I'm so impressed, Megan!!! Way to go. : )
