last night i sat and watched the storm swirl outside my window...very snow globe-like. |
 |
it didn't stop through the night and this morning we woke to find a winter wonderland. |
 |
looks like a nice sunshine filled day ahead. |
 |
a perfect time to be cozy inside. there's nowhere else i'd rather be. |
 |
first things first...this IS NOT a how-to post. because i have no idea how to do this...... i have two of these old sturdy chairs. the cat has been the only one enjoying them. they've been stored away until i figured out what to do with them. well...i stripped one of them. |
 |
i had bought this red corduroy about 4 years ago. i just went for it. staple gun in hand. |
 |
i just kept stretching and folding and stapling. |
 |
i am so sure that this is not the right way to cover a button....but never forget that a glue gun can be your best friend. |
 |
i love how the back turned out. it was the main reason i kept putting this job on hold. |
 |
with the curved back it made things tricky. so i just made it work. |
 |
so there you go... it needs a good steam and some paint for the legs. but i love how it turned out. ***hi link friends...thank you for poppin by! |
 |
what is this you ask? two posts in two days?? crazy...i have been busy, busy around here. yesterday got me thinking that my buffet needed some attention. so i emptied her out. it has been the place where odd homeless stuff goes. so today it all got sorted out. |
 |
everything is now going to have a place to go. not everything went back in. this is my spot for vases. i love the pooch. |
 |
it feels so good to finally get organized. now that we're near the end of the 4 year reno... it really feels like a home. |
 |
my last kitchen, in the big old house... well it had more of a vintage feel. i keep the pastels handy though ...they're expected to make an appearance every spring. |
 |
all my candles are in the same drawer now. excellent. |
 |
perfect example of what was in the buffet... and didn't belong there. my baby mittens. cira 1969. like i'm supposed to just toss these out? how does one do such a thing? ....into my keepsake box. |
 |
today it's rainy with the occasional snowflake. oliver is being cute. ...i'm feeling a deep desire need to blog. |
 |
i would also like to show off my new favorite thing... can't wait to pretty her up for the holidays! |
 |
on a day like this...i'm glad to have a pot of coffee on. this little nook always makes me feel good. i just need to take the time to appreciate it more often. |
 |
and while i've got you here... i LOVE that my girls are self-governing their bathroom. |
 |
peek into elsie's room... |
 |
...and emma's. ruffled patent leather heals and a periodic table she's no simple girl... so that's it for today. i feel better. do you? xox |
 |
Emma and the girls...heading to the dance. |
 |
Two pumpkins were turned into works of art. The little visitors (and their parents) were impressed! Elsie did the bats and Emma the cat. |
 |
Elsie and her friend were little grannies... It took them an hour to do one lap around the block. They played their parts well. |
