Kitchen Eating Area

Here is my kitchen eating area with its Christmas decor. I probably enjoy the tree in here more than any other room because it seems we spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The fourth picture shows the chair covers I made out of some fabric that is lime green with candy canes on it. These were made by me pressing down seams and hot gluing them. Very easy! I don't really know a good way to explain it. I used some scrap fabric and made one before I made these to make sure my measurements were right and it would slip down over the chair back. It is basically a pillowcase. They are not professional looking by any means, but that's O.K. 'cause they cost hardly nothing and I may not even want to use them next year. I like to do different things each year. I am off to bed so goodnight and have a wonderful Thursday!

Everything looks so cute! The pillowcase is a brilliant idea. I just love the way you've used that little desk. I would love to have room for something like that in my eating area. My kitchen table is bigger though.

Love the chair covers! Your eat in kitchen area looks great. I haven't done one thing about decorating that area, even though we are either in there or walking through there a hundred times a day. Thanks for the incentive!

So pretty, cozy, and inviting. It makes me want a cup of cocoa, and sit and chat.

Angie Acapella said...

what a cozy little area. I'd spend a lot of time in there too! I love the chair covers...absolutely use them again! I'm sure you'll find something to add to them in the future! lol

And have you ever used "stitch witchery" or "heat-n-bond?" I'm a "non-sewer" too, but I use that stuff all the time to make curtains or when I need a hem on something. It's awesome stuff!

I'm actually getting ready to cut up some striped panels I bought for my living room windows that I'm not happy with. I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere, so I'm just going to make them.
