Something New for the New Year!!

I have been wanting a fabric to freshen up our livingroom...so

when I found this gorgeousness at Joann Fabrics right after

Christmas I was thrilled...it has all the colors I wanted

for this room and the design is awesome.

The main curtains are ivory cotton panels I made for

our bedroom quite awhile ago...I made valence type panels from the

new fabric that I have attached to the ivory panels at the top with clip rings.

This way when I want to change out the look (and boy do I change alot...

just ask my hubby!!!)...all I have to do is unclip the valance panel

and attach a new one.

I also made a pair of pillows to tie the room all

 together...they have simple envelope

back openings...again this helps with an easy

change to the room.



So here is a start to our "New Year" refreshed

livingroom...oh and off to the right is my

PB knock-off typewriter art!!



Chair project

This is one of two Lazy Boy recliners I snatched up.

I found her at a Savers store...She was tagged for 35.00...she was

 also tagged with a 1/2 off color tag...so she was a sweet 17.50.

As you can see she was not that pretty.

So one day I dragged my hubby into a Joann Fabrics to help me pick

 out some fabric...he chose Waverly Terrarium-Leaf.

Love it!!

After pulling a bazillion staples out and carefully taking all

the old fabric off the chair, so I could use as patterns and

painting her legs a Beach white...

I sewed and stapled my way to this beauty.

We love her!

Can't wait to see her sister looking this awesome!
