Hello my friends!
As promised I am back with the rest of the Cottage Christmas pictures!
I finally finished making slipcovers for my little settee...
It's very small...but it feels so cozy now!
I also finished painting 2 of my new (old) cane back dining chairs!
It took me forever to find the right shade of gray...but I do love how they turned out!
I brought one of them into the cottage for the Holidays!
Santa stopped by early and gave me a new stapler for our air compressor and it is going much faster now!
The fabric is from one of my favorite places to shop~Ballard Designs
I had to find a paint color that matched the cushion and would be great in my new kitchen!
What do you think?
In the Spring...I am going to make linen slipcovers for my dining chairs too!
But for now...I really am enjoying the gray!
I have also got a few packages wrapped to put in my new wheelbarrow!
Of course...it's from Horton's!
the back of our parson's chairs
Another view of the cottage. This big armoire looking thing is actually our murphy bed!
for the last 4 years...I have had to raise and lower this thing everyday!
I made a few of these banners to put in the store...This Saturday we are having another big event!
I will tell you more about it in my next post!
Thank you all for your advise on my old frame! I do love it just as it is! And I am thinking it might just stay right here in the cottage...as is!
Well...what do you think of my little cottage dressed for Christmas?
I am loving the soft, soothing shades of gray and cream.
As promised I am back with the rest of the Cottage Christmas pictures!
I used my favorite putty colored linen...and wow!
I am so glad I did it!
It really changed the feel of this little space!
Plus...I got to have ruffles!

So I am putting a give-away together!
Until next time...

I'm sure I've said it before but it's worth repeating...you have EXCELLENT taste!!
ReplyDeleteThe cottage is a magical place to stay while you are remodeling the main house! And it looks wonderful! Now I'm wandering if you really want to get the big house done! Of course I know you do! I love you slipcovered settee! You did a great job! Where did you get the wonderful rug with script on it! Love it! I love your color palette!

Wow, what a gorgeous room! I love your ruffled, linen slipcover. The muted colors of the room look so pretty with the Christmas greenery!
ReplyDeletei nearly had the vapors from all the absolute beauty!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteagree with everyone: exquisite taste.
gray IS tricky. i like the putty-warm grays too...but gray looks so different according to which light exposure it has.

Oh my gosh, I'm in love with everything you do. Those slip covers are so beautiful and the tree. I'm mostly done with decorating and now I just want to re-do it all!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful slipcovers and I'm loving everything in your whole room. Those shutters are 2die4 and I like the splash of dark they add. That wheelbarrow is another great find. I'm going to have to go back and admire everything again.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Kathleen
