Hutch Decorated for Valentine's Day

Here is my hutch decorated for Valentine's Day. Of course I love V. Day stuff because it's RED...my favorite color to put around my house. Hope y'all are having a nice relaxing Sunday like I am. See ya next week!

Recovered Yard Sale Chair and Placemat Pillow

I have gotten 2 little projects done today - recovered this chair seat and made a pillow for it out of a placemat. The chair, rooster fabric, placemat, and pillow were all bought at yard sales last year. Love projects like this that are cheap and I already have the supplies I need. Hope y'all have a super Saturday!

From Red to Green

Well, I painted my kitchen hutch red and didn't like it at all. I'm sure I could have gone to the store and gotten a better red and it may have turned out o.k., but I decided to go a different route and paint it with some apple green paint I had. I painted and then aged it with some glaze and am really happy with it now. The color looks much better in person than in these pictures. Now comes the fun part - decorating it!

Kitchen Hutch Going Red

Do you ever have an idea pop in your head and don't really even think it through and just start going at it? Well, that's what happened to me about 30 minutes ago. I quickly emptied the drawers of the hutch, took off the hardware, and have been outside in the cold and wind spray painting it red. We'll see if I like it or not...hope I do. But, as we smart bloggers all know, it's just paint!

Polka Dot Runner

I am really trying to get my decorating mojo back. It has taken me a while to get back into decorating after putting up all my Christmas stuff. I love polka dots, especially black and white, so I made (hot glued) this runner for my kitchen table out of some fabric I already had. It makes me smile when I walk in the room. Hope y'all have a great Monday and I WILL be back later this week...promise.
