Toile Fabric on Antique Piece

Nothing much to post today...just added some toile fabric to my antique piece in the kitchen and think it definitely looks better. I mean, doesn't toile just make everything cute? I think so!!! Have a great weekend!

I have been wanting to hang a collection of T's (my last name initial) somewhere and finally decided to put it in the kitchen by my desk. I just love looking at it! I may add one or two more at the top. Have a wonderful Wed. everybody!

Dining Room Table Arrangement and a Pumpkin Topiary

Here is the fall arrangement I have on my dining room table. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Just put some things on a tray and stuck flowers and leaves all around it. I was going to put a runner underneath, but decided not to.



I think I talked about my pumpkin topiary last year, but somebody asked about it so I'll explain how I made it again. I just took one of those craft pumpkins, cut a hole in the bottom with a knife, and stuck a dowel rod in it. I had already cut the dowel rod to the length I wanted and painted it brown. Then I put some floral bricks in a pot and stuck the topiary in. I covered the bricks with leaves and also added a bow and scarecrow.


Hope y'all had a good Monday! Have a great night!

Recovered Chair

I recovered this chair seat the other day in some animal print fabric I had and put it in the dining room next to my dry sink. It has been in the attic for years and I thought it was time I used it somewhere. I think I'm liking it! Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Backdoor Fall Decorations

Here are some of the fall decorations at my backdoor, which is where we come and go. I try to remember to turn on the lamp and jack-o-lantern each night before my hubby comes home from work so he can see it. He may not say anything, but I know he likes it! The initial on the big pumpkin is from a piece of felt. I traced a wooden T on it and cut it out. I didn't even glue it, just used sticky tack. I have been wanting to paint some polka dots on a pumpkin, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Hope y'all have a great Thursday!

New/Old Piece in the Kitchen

I moved this piece (antique desk/dresser?) the other day from my dining room into the kitchen. I got it last year for $5 at a yard sale. Isn't that crazy?! I am going to leave it in its original wood finish because I already have a lot of painted wood in my house. It is in great condition. I am thinking I need to put a tension rod and some cute fabric in the opening. I love having something new to put more stuff on, of course! Hope you are having a great week so far!
