I've got a Gossip Girl~

Craigslist has been keeping me busy. 
I found this Gossip Bench that's been occupying my time.

Here's how my Gossip Girl looks now!


Here's what she looked like before~
The sellers picture

I brought her home, 
cleaned her up with a mixture of water and vinegar.

Painted her black and reupholstered her seat.



I used my Cricut Home Decor cartridge
and made these Fleur-de-lis'

I found this fabric for the seat at Hobby Lobby.

I'm loving silhouettes lately and used this template from Country Living for the Gossip Girl.

I cut the Gossip Girl out on Contact Paper
 (I use this for cut outs on my Cricut ~ not the expensive stuff they sell)

If this Gossip Girl could talk ~ I'm sure she'd have a lot to tell!
