New Pillows for the Fall

Cooler (78Degrees) rainy weather made me think of new pillows for the fall. Collected left over fabric from our exhibitors in New York turned to 9 different style pillows for the Formal - and Living room.  

It took one rainy sunday to make it all happen. All of them are envelope pillows with different front and backs to switch out easily to either change or wash them.


Number 1 


                                              Number 2

Number 3 and 4 


All 4 new pillows piled up for the formal living room


Then we have some more for the living room, including the two I made the day before. So actually I have 11 new ones in total! :) ...but who is counting.

Number 5 and 6


Number 7 and 8


Number 9


Number 10


Number 10 and 11


Now there is hopefully time to just lay on the couch and enjoy all those soft shiny new pillows. Is it Friday yet?

Wing Chair Recovery - Part II

Image
Only for those of you who already forgot how the wing chair looked when I first got it, here is a picutre which I took in the thrift store! For the amazing price of $18 it is all mine.   Too nasty to sit in, I first ripped off all of the fabric, (I'll spare you the details, since I blogged about that before ) layed the old fabric out, cut the new fabric pieces a little bigger than the old ones and made little fabric piles. I bought about 9' of fabric online at http://www.fabric.com/  I kept all of the old buttons, cut little circles and sewed fabric on each of them. I can tell you, that was my least favorite part.    After all 27 buttons were done, the back seat was the first piece that I re-buttoned.   The buttons go all the way through the fabric and cushion - the back part gets spread apart and rests on the foam. I put the cushion in place and stapled it firm to the back. Repeated all those steps with the seat. For the arms, I had to put some more battin

My new toy..

Last week when we picked up our new dining room table at Borders, I became the lucky owner of a CRAFT ROOM! I’m still so excited about it. My own private room where I can have all my little projects lined up and organized, or just all of them messy, laid out in the room with the door shut. You already think, what does this have to do with a new dining room table? Let me tell you! J We had this spare room before and couldn’t decide what we are going to do with it. We have two guest bedrooms upstairs, one already furnished for guests the other one empty. We were thinking about renting one room, but I’m just not that kinda girl. I need my privacy and want to lay on the couch whenever I want to, without a stranger in my house. I thought about a baby’s room – but I guess that is a little too early. SO I came up with that perfect idea, since the room is empty anyways to have a craft room! Brian gets the garage and I get a room for myself! Deal! So last Saturday when we picked up the table,

The Nursery - Final reveal

  I know you couldn't wait any longer to find out if we are going to have a boy or girl. I don't keep it any longer from you, I promise.   Both of us wanted a boy, but really just a healthy little baby is all we asked for.   Since I don't count to the younger childbearing generation anymore, there were some tests that I had to do. One of them is for down syndrome. Scary stuff, let me tell you. With that test though, you can find out the gender and when I received the call with the results, I immediately started crying. Happy and over the moon that the baby is completely healthy but totally in shock that it is a.... CAN YOU SAY BOY???   No wonder I have hair growing like crazy in my face, all this testosterone in me probably doesn't help the weirdest pregnancy outcomes. At least (so far) I haven't been too bitchy, hormonal. Don't ask Brian though, he would probably tell you differently.   I called Brian to tell him and the only thing he said wa
