Prime Time

I would love to skip the sanding and priming part of my dining room furniture, but it has be done, and someone has to do it!

Guess that's me!










I'm going to paint everything white for now. The table may end up another color, depending on which fabric I decide to use on the chairs?

This fabric is 54" wide so it will only take one yard to recover for seats. :D






I also have some cute fish fabric that I could use on the chairs...

I'll have plenty of time to decide. I've got four chairs and a table to sand, prime and paint!

Hope you are having a beautiful day!

New Project(s)

It's been a while since I posted. I've been pondering a new project. NOT a mini one this time...

I've decided that my rental house is too depressing, too dark and too "not me." I'm on a mission. I'm going to start lightening up in more ways than one!  :D

I'm starting with my living room. I searched through my photos but couldn't find a "before" photo of this room. Probably because I hated it so much!

Today, the thrift store picked up my huge TV armoire and delivered some "new" furniture!

Love this $15 chair! 

The pillow came from TJMaxx.

I also bought four "new" dining room chairs. $9.95 each. I'm planning on painting them.

I have a pedestal dining table that is black right now. That will change!



I am so inspired by Jane Coslick's colors and those at Maine Cottage. It will be hard to decide what colors I want to use. . .

Here is one wall staged with my old wicker chair and my "new" one. There has to be blue somewhere in this room!

I'm planning to hang bamboo shades on the windows on the other side of this room. Down with the old ivory mini blinds! I'm looking for the perfect fabric to make drapes and recover the dining room chairs. Here are three I'm considering...

I am not opposed to painting all of my old tables and my china hutch too. Looks like there will be a lot of painting and sewing going on here!

This all started with two beautiful pillows that made me smile when I saw them.  :D

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Fabric Shopping

I did some online shopping this morning. I haven't purchased anything yet but if you click this link you will see my "wish list" at eQuilter.com.


I'm looking for fabrics for the Flamingo Bed and Breakfast. I think these fabrics would be great!?



Just looking right now. I still have to remodel, paint and wallpaper the house first!

It's fun to look around and see what is available. If you haven't checked eQuilter, you should. You can purchase as little as 1/4 yard. Beware though. You might be there for hours!

Hope you have a sunny Saturday!

Found Fabrics

I've been looking for fabrics for my dollhouse furniture and curtains. I found Quilt Home this morning and spent some time just drooling over their wonderful fabrics!

I love this collection!

I'm also thinking about making my own designs with batik or tie dye?

All of this dreaming and not so much doing makes for a really messy dollhouse! I'll be working on the living room walls this weekend.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Blessings, Kathi
