A Quick Update to a Favorite Chair

You might remember the makeover of the green chair a while back. 

I've had my eye on a piece of fabric just perfect for an update at JoAnn's for since I bought the pieces to do over the new family room -- and then it was half off!! It's a butterfly woven onto a soft background. Last night I put it on with glue and tape, as usual. What do you think?? 

First I removed the trim and the cover to use as my pattern.

And here it is!! I haven't decided what to put on the seat yet. I have a teal and an off white. Laters!

Stunning Bedroom Update at the Dureka's

We spent the Christmas holidays with Steve's family at sister Donna's beautiful home. Here is the bedroom where we slept. Donna and her talented daughter Cari had redecorated just before our arrival. 

The antique furniture was such a cozy touch, along with the nautical theme.

The blue stripes were so eye-catching as you came up the stairs and into the room. And notice the wooden floor,  just perfect.

Cari hand-painted the shells and coral in the pictures. There were so many warm touches in the room, it made us feel very special.

                                    Thank you Cari!

TV Room Mini Update

A while back I decided our upstairs tv room needed a quick makeover. My first idea was to add some color! Our sofa had a great tobacco color but the accent was a deep red, almost burgundy pattern. 




After stalking the fabric at JoAnn's for awhile I decided on a aqua/gray-brown design. 

My next idea was to "recover" the pillows. It was easy using a quilting needle. 

With new movie style wall accessories and new gaming chairs, it was done.
