Summer Boatshed Projects

Lately I've been a little bit "over" a couple of pieces of furniture in the boatshed because the timber was a bad shade of brown - namely this stool I covered in Amy Butler fabric:

And this glass-topped table:

So, last week, I finally had time to haulthem outside to be repainted:

Now that that wrong shade of brown stain has been painted over, I love them:

Another project was sewing cushion covers. Just looking at them makes me feel summery:

Window Dressing

Yesterday I decided to brighten up my bathroom window with a new curtain made from a scarf. It gives the impression of a framed artwork. Was it David Hicks who said everything looks better framed?

Grandma Chic Deconstructed

Now, if I understand it, vintage laminex benchtops, silver spoons and bone-handled knives,

Etched glasses and vintage plates,

Mismatched cups and saucers,

A floral curtain across a cupboard,

A patchwork quilt,

A vintage tablecloth made into a cushion,

A chair cushion made out of vintage fabric,

Mismatched florals on the cushions and sofa,

A floral teacup and saucer, and a rolled up pink and white crocheted rug,

should all add up to one chic grandma.
