A Little Side Project

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Thought I’d share a little project I just finished up for a pre-teen client.  She’s moving into what used to be a guest bedroom and needed a few fun pieces to make it her own.  She picked the blue suzani fabric to be the inspiration.




I must say, I’m pretty pleased with how it all came together.  I hope she loves the pillows and bulletin board in her new room!

Back in the Saddle

I’m back at the sewing machine these days – there are tons of stitches in my future. I’m still plugging away at my list, and after finishing the porch swing, I’m on to curtains for the dining room and curtains and pillows for the living room.

I love the fabric for the dining room curtains, but I’m particularly excited about my plans for the living room.  You may remember from last fall that I’m working on a blue scheme using our existing blue chairs as a starting point.  Now that we have a fabulous painting, new couch and a little extra floor space, it’s time to start to add the finishing touches.  Here’s my updated plan:

I just love the fabric scheme:

Hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have curtains, pillows and a reupholstered ottoman…  The lighting will have to wait until our wallet has recovered.
