Living room update



Its Tuesday again, lol. Everyone join me at Kristin's

 

Hi all, Bonnie here, and look what ive been up to..........



This is where we started from.................

Im almost certain that i'll be painting this table white......



Im oh so tired!  Ive been working on too many projects at once. Hubby and i just finished a headboard which i hope to get started upholstering soon. Im doing it in a white shabby chic matelasse. .......but more on that later, this is supposed to be an update on the living room. I finished painting about a month ago, i still have a few projects in here, like painting the new coffee table and some new slipcovers, those are in the works......We put the new drapes up today, and im just beside myself with loving how they look, i got such a bargain on the fabric that was used to make them, $15, Penny hemmed them up really nice.........also got a great bargain on the curtain rod aswell. Hope all of my fellow bloggers enjoy the before and afters.............toodles

All this material for the drapes was purchased off Craigslist for a mere $15. Enuff for two drape panels and some left to make pillows. Penny fixed someone elses attempt at crudely making drapes, lol.

An unusual combination...........

 

Linking up my "Funky Junk" inspired pillows.............i gave these a good washin first, lol.



Just kidding, lol,  not sure ide be brave enough for that!

 Awhile back i found this gorgeous roll of about 33yrds of of rose stretch lace. Im still thinking up things to do with it. I did manage to use alittle of it to have some pillows made. I found the burlap sacks at the local flea market for $2 each.........Yep, u guessed it, secrets out, "I cannot sew", LOL..........enjoy these.........
