PHASE 2 CHAIR RECOVER

You can see the chair on the right with the ottoman....my goal was to make it sort of Restoration Hardware.ish...soooo I sanded all the stain off, then the parts I couldn't get off I repainted in the creases with white paint then sanded again.  I have always wanted to have something covered in the cool dropcloths at Lowes...This is my chance...now it is off to the upholster. The cabinet is from Living Spaces new line of reclaimed wood pieces...

Yay for the new chair...love the fabric...I bought the 10oz dropcloth....the casual nubby look is exactly what I wanted...I especially like the no specific color for the room so I can add my own pops of color when I choose and the fabric color doesn't determine that for me...This cloth seems to be at home with any color of beige...so cool...one more chair to go...the gold chair, I think I will leave the dark wood and have covered in dropcloth right out of the package not washed...not very different...oh well...I haven't made the pillow yet ,for the chair above, try not to notice,  you get the idea of the pillow fabric...This gold has just gotta go...

I think this turned out to be the perfect color for the corner...

YAY for paint dropcloths...

You can see the cool oat mealie color...lol

Well, this is a picture of the room pretty much completed, and yes this is the deer from Horchow (thanks for the tip between napsontheporch)  I just happened to hit the 30% off free shipping day...yay...I did however paint the brown plaque to match the walls and the deer was a little cream so I added a little white...I like the way it turned out....The larger Santos Doll is from my daughter Michelle, and the smaller one was a gift from a friend...they are so sweet...

I think next summer I will take away the animal print and add some blue for a cool summer look or maybe some apple green...yay for options...

I am showing both sides of the room, hope you are getting the casual vibe I was going for...I think I will have a white mantle surround built for the fireplace and just leave the  mirror...

The chandy is from Pottery Barn...and lights up the entire ceiling with such cool facets...The man and woman standing in front of the cabinet my husband and I purchased 34 years ago...when I put them in front of the cabinet they looked like they were window shopping...lol

Thanks for stopping by...I hope you are inspired to try some new things in one of your rooms

New floors

Well Mr. S. has decided he simply cannot live with the floor with a piece of wood floor dividing the spaces, he is right the flow would not be right...soooo

The floor co. will be removing parts of living room floor and fingering in new floor to meet up with the old and the entire area will be sanded and refinished...yay

wow a lot of work...I know it will be beautiful...

The Den floor looks great...

Staying off this floor for 3 days was hard but wow so worth it..gotta love the floor...

All furniture out on deck waiting to come on in....

What a difference without the wall....more pictures to come....loving the new white walls...

Thanks for stopping by, more updates to follow....always good to have you aroundrhouse

Remodeling...finally!!!

This is the wall between my kitchen and the living room...

Although I still love the colors, the space has always bugged me because being the biggest room in the house it had no flow and light was blocked from the windows...Yay it is coming down...

Tina is so excited she is inspecting the entire area...

The wall is where the double blue tape is on the floor...plastic comes down from temp. wall soon...

You can see the new beam is up...love the new height where doorway was to entryway...

The furnishings and floor ....time for an update...Well I will have to think about these floors...more to come in a few days when I rethink this space lol...thanks for following
