Another Wing Chair Slipcover!

My son has been storing this leather wing chair in my shed for over 2 years

and I just recently thought of bringing it in to the house and slip covering

it to match the one in the living room.

What took me so long??

 The lovely before shot!

And after!

 

It doesn't match the original exactly. I wanted  it to coordinate, not match,

 so I used a pretty blue canvas with my dropcloth.

 I will get started on a tutorial this week!

I can't believe it took me 2 years to think of this!

Fall Tour Complete, I Promise!

This will be the last post on Fall Decorating
as we move on from the living room, into the dining and family rooms!

 This is where I start to add a little color with pumpkins and gourds,

but I still keep a lot of white.

 

 More of my music sheet leaf garland works well with all my white dishes.

 

 I started with a banner as well, but decided it was too busy,

so it was moved into the family room.

 

 I love to use chalkboards, so I added one to the top

of the Welsh Dresser,

 

 and I always keep this one on the door.

 

 This year's basket of gourds, corn and pumpkins.

 The family room is already full of fall colors,

so not much needed in here!

 I like the banner much better over the window.

 Lots of pillows!

And some more random shots:

Happy Fall!

Joining a new party this week:

Fall Continues Around the House: Living Room

Continuing the Fall Tour from the entry (yesterday), we head to the living room which is really part of the entry, so once again, color is kept to a minimum.

Candles in a milk bottle holder with acorns and white mini pumpkin

gives just a hint of color.

On the table under the window, hydrangeas from the garden

sit in a pale blue bowl with more acorns.

 The mantle holds most of the decorations

starting with a "thankful" banner

 Ironstone pitcher filled with wheat

 Wooden rooster and church birdhouses

Finials, acorns,

and a paper garland of large leafs cut from sheet music.

Books about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving

and thankful pillows add to the overall look.

Moving Fall Into the House!

Fall moves into the entry:

keeping color to a minimum

 

to accent, not compete with, the decor

 

fleur-de-lis finials and acorns

leafs cut from pretty scrapbook paper

candles set in an old maple sugar mold from
Country Living Fair

dried pomegranates in mercury vase 

I Love Fall!

Fall is my favorite season!
I love the colors, the falling leaves, the chill in the air,
and the anticipation of the coming holidays!

Computer Woes: Finally Back in Business!

I have had major computer issues the last month or so, and not even my genius son couldn't fix it!

So I finally sent it in to the company and just got it back!

In case you were wondering, that's where I've been.

However, I wasn't idle while my computer was away.

In fact, I got quite a lot accomplished.

 Two slipcovers:

New adjustments to some old rooms:

Just to mention a few!

I will share the details and some tutorials in the coming weeks!
