Have a seat.........


Funny how furniture can remind you of an era or of someone special.  


After my grandmother died I was offered her old chairs.  I probably wouldn't have bought them off the show room floor but they were hers, and that's why they still sit in my family room today.  I remember sitting in them, chatting with her about life experiences, munching on Bugles & diet coke and hoping for one of her pearls of wisdom to take away with me.  
  

After years, I finally decided to bid fair well to the original bee crest print,  I sent the cushions off to one of my favorite stores in Seattle, Red Ticking.  Pam, the owner and a dear friend, understood my attachment to them and she helped me pick out the perfect fabric.  They turned out beautiful!   I heart you Pam!  

Thought you might like to see the the transformation of my new beauties! 


I'd love to hear about your family treasures......

Happy Monday!

Sew.... what do you think?

     I love this antique stool my mom gave me, mostly because it's from her though.  She gave me it along with a roll top desk when I got engaged.  I treasure both.  That being said, it was time to ditch the butterfly embroidery on the seat (for now anyway).  
Sorry mom.

Before

It took me most of the day but I managed to knock out a little slip cover for the stool.  It's really a beginner job but it freshens it up:)

After
Thanks for taking a look!
