It had me at a glance...

You know sometimes a purchase is well planned, thought out, saved for..

and then occasionally it hits you like a ton of bricks, and you think- Oh my , that's going home with me !

Well this was one of the unplanned, spur of the moment, follow your heart purchases. I was perusing one of the little antique shops in a nearby town, on the way back to the office and had not been in the store for oh- probably more than two minutes when I spied this.. or as my Grandson says- I spied with my little eyes :)

I know - it needs to feel the love. 

It needs some tender care. BUT, what details !! I was immediately drawn to the colors in the chair- I just knew it would feel at home in my living area off the kitchen.

It will require some planning on my part to get the things I need-  1. leather cleaner/ repair... 2. A very fine sandpaper... 3. A piece of wood so My Darling can make a new seat where the other one simply gave out...4. A wonderful old Vintage fabric to save and repurpose.

Then it will be good as new- OR BETTER. Don't you think ?

Maybe a decorative initial here ? 

The colors match my decor perfect ! 

Check out those Nail head- should be fun...

Stick around- I’m planning, preparing and otherwise going to finish this soon- we are hosting Thanksgiving here this year.  That should keep me focused. Well.. hopefully.

If you have any great suggestions for this project- let us hear from 

you. I am open to ideas - I want it to feel the love & be enjoyed by all.

Till next time-  Enjoy the lovely FALL.  We are.

Slipcover, Cover or Bust !

I can scarcely imagine how we used to make it without today’s ingenious slipcovers.

They are keeping many a Mom from losing their minds, and everyone else- just plain happy  and BONUS, the furniture clean !!

I personally love the softness they add to any room not to mention covering all those unsightly legs and mismatched odds and ends we pick up from time to time...

Even the little ugly ducklings can be transformed into beautiful, graceful, lovely

swans when they have a simple slipcover. Many different fabric options are available, 

but be sure to think about those remnants from an old quilt, worn out blanket, or family

tablecloth you are still hanging onto. Don’t worry if they have a few stains or tears. Just

work around them and be creative ! Think VINTAGE....

Do you have an old bench, chair or footstool that could use an update?

Send us some pictures of your projects , ask questions and we will give

you some new ideas to spruce up a tired old piece and make it your new favorite.

Beautiful, the slipcover balances all the "legs" of other furniture.

Don’t you just love the way slipcovers soften the entire room?

They can be elegant, fully gathered or a little more tailored- whichever suits your style.

You decide, look for a project and let us know.
