It Takes a Village…

Okay….FINALLY I have taken some photos…granted they are not great….one day it was too sunny….one day not sunny enough….but I digress and I just took some flippin pictures so ya’ll will know that I am not just sitting around eating bon bons and watching soap operas all day…..(I wish)…

Dining room chairs and rug before…dark’ish…when I was covering these seats in my upholstery class, my instructor, Gary, whom I do love and adore, looked at this fabric and said, “I hate that fabric.”  The man does not mince words….I think he would like them better now….

    When in the world do you find the time to do all these changes! I never seem to have any time to work on things for myself!

    The angel statue is awesome! What a great son!

    The new fabric on your chairs looks so good. I noticed Sadie kitty in one picture enjoying a stretch on the new rug. Love, love, love the sweet angel statue that Seth bought you for your birthday. You always have so many new projects going in your house! When I visit your house is always so beautiful and yet you still find new and creative ways that make your home even prettier!.

    I stand corrected.
