Morning, folks! I hope this Monday finds you full and happy. I managed to eat my little heart out for four straight days, so today, the cleanse begins… Last weekend, I took one of Modern Domestic’s free mini classes. As usual, I had a delightful time and I came home with a little personalized napkin in tow. I’m a beginner when it comes to [...]
I’m in the mood for some updated pillows for our white couch, and I’ve been playing around with a few different color and fabric combinations. Any favorites thus far? All of the above pillows can be purchased on etsy (love that!) and they are also pinned in my pillow pinterest board. As you can tell, I’m leaning toward a green/grey/blue theme. And this is our [...]
I have a rather large weekend recap (lots o’ photos!) for you, as Kyle and I headed to Central Oregon for my birthday and I also tackled a number of home projects this weekend too. I am not pleased to say this, but I now have two projects that are slowly killing me – my dresser, and this new roman shade. It’s a massive shade [...]
Morning! Let’s talk kitchen curtains today. I like our kitchen curtains, however, the print has never been Kyle’s favorite. And I have to agree with him – the fabric is a bit too modern for our classic bungalow. I’ve been searching for new fabric to replace our current fabric, and here’s one of my favorites thus far. I’m not sold on it by any [...]
I looooove fabric. It’s one of my very favorite things about decorating. However, there are so many patterns, colors, textures and price ranges out there, that it can be exhausting trying to navigate through the mess. So, I’ve put together five different pillow fabric boards for your viewing pleasure. Of course, an entire room can have almost a dozen or more fabrics, so these [...]
This past weekend I did a little sewing, and I’m happy to report I only sewed one pillow inside out. The rest are fairly put together. But don’t look too close! The pillows are for our basement – here’s a quick shot of the fabric I ordered from Premier Prints for this little makeover. The light blue stripe fabric is for the ottoman, which [...]
As you all know, I adore fabric. I have yards and yards and yards of it stowed away in random drawers, in different prints, just waiting to be turned into pillow cases, curtains, or whatever else I dream up. Here are a few of my favorites as of late… Looking for the online links to any of these pretty fabrics? Check out my fabric [...]
I am a sucker for fabric. After taking your wonderful advice and weighing my three fabric options, I put in my order and waited for my fabric package to arrive. Like usual, Premier Prints was speedy and last Saturday, my basement fabric arrived! And I like it. Phew. The colors are vibrant and I love the thickness and the quality of the fabric too. Here [...]
Last week I revealed my basement design board, and this weekend I began to really flush out a few fabric options. Did I tell you I took your advice and went with the blue striped fabric for the ottoman? Well I did, and that’s the one fabric you’ll see in all 3 of the fabric options below. So once again, I am asking for [...]
Morning, friends! I don’t know about you, but I feel jipped – I seriously missed my hour yesterday. All day I felt like I was behind. Three cheers for more daylight, but bummer about one less weekend hour. On Saturday I spent four hours at Modern Domestic (yes, four!) learning how to construct a piped pillow. I did come home with a finished pillow, [...]
Kyle and I escaped reality and headed to Central Oregon this weekend. It’s pretty much one of the prettiest places on earth, and it makes you forget about life’s worries. We stay at this wonderful place called Five Pine Lodge, and rent out our own little cabin in the woods. I highly, highly recommend visiting Sisters, Oregon if you ever make it out to [...]
I’ve been on the hunt for fabric for our dining room, and I’ve come across some adorable kids fabric along the way. Even though Kyle and I are a looooong ways away from having kids, these prints stopped me in my tracks and I just had to share. Hooty Collection Ele Collection Lulu Stripe Ele Collection Dandelion White Desota Stripe Kenya Gisella Lipstick Mud Dots [...]
Remember when I posted my no sew curtains blog? Well, stitch witchery and I have been at it again, but this time, I’ve created little cafe curtains for our bathroom. Goodbye, plastic blinds. I ordered the fabric from fabric.com and I was really pleased when it arrived in the mail. It was very thick and quality fabric, for only $10.98 a yard. It’s called [...]
It sure feels like Fall around here, but this weekend we managed to see the sunshine both days, and it was Oregon at its best – bluuuueee skies, green grass and a little Fall breeze mixed in between. Sunshine usually means lots of DIY projects around the house, but on Saturday I spent nearly the entire afternoon indoors sewing this tote bag at Modern [...]
Even though I had nearly a perfectly perfect weekend, I still have that Sunday night feeling in my gut…the work week is once again knocking at the front door all too soon! Anyway, I have the fabric bug. I could spend some serious cash at Premier Fabrics, not because fabric here is expensive, but because I like nearly every design. Hear me out… Annie Collection [...]
One of my favorite things to pick up at garage sales are old pillows. Not because I particularly like the fabric on them, but because they can serve as fabulous cheap inserts. Pillow inserts can run you dozens of dollars each, and there’s really no need for that. I picked up this pillow at my last garage sale stop for only 25 cents! A [...]
First of all, thank you for all the warm comments yesterday! It is so fun to have new visitors around here – welcome! I have more room reveals coming up, so I hope you’ll stay-tuned. I was all set to jump into a Chicago Store Spotlight post, but I had so many questions about the fabric I used for my kitchen curtains yesterday that [...]
Me + 2010 garage sales = no good finds. For whatever reason, I’m either late to the party, don’t have enough cash on me, or all I run across is junk (and believe me, I love junk). I’ve been in a slump. And slumps are funny, because you never know when things will take a turn for the better (or worse). Well, I slowly emerged [...]
Happy Memorial Day to you! I thought about taking the day off from blogging, but this little guy kept reminding me that he wanted his day in the sun… Hopefully you remember my post on Modern Domestic last week? I took the “how to sew an envelope pillow” class and I arrived with just the below fabric (Sunglow fabric by Joel Dewberry), thread, and very [...]
As I have hinted at in a few previous posts, I am learning how to sew. I have ZERO experience with sewing, sewing machines or anything sewing related for that matter. It killed me when I ran across fabric I loved, because I knew the only thing I could do with it was marvel at its greatness. And then Modern Domestic came along and [...]
