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.

Some More Christmas

Here are some pictures I took yesterday of some more of my Christmas decorations. Nothing like waiting to the last minute...that's me - Mrs. Procrastinator! Hope you and your families all have a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to another year of blogging and getting all kinds of wonderful inspiration from y'all!

Christmas in the Kitchen

Here are pictures (LOTS of them...18 to be exact) of my Christmasy kitchen. We spend a lot of time in here and it's my favorite room in my house. Hope y'all have a fun Friday and a great weekend!

Christmas in the Dining Room

Here are some pictures of my Christmasy dining room. I figured I had better get busy posting 'cause the big day is almost here. I swear December goes by faster than any other month. I have been having a ball seeing all the gorgeous Christmas decor out there in blogland. Hope y'all are having a great week and keeping warm. I'll be back with more, hopefully on Thurs.!
