A softer side before and after

I really enjoy seeing before and after pictures, don't you.
So I thought I would show you what I have been up to lately.

A corner of the dinning room

My $20.00 Goodwill table

And I just love my new center piece. I found the urn at the Goodwill for only $3, I filled it with silk hydrangas for now, only until I can find some real ones to dry.




My next project, making slip covers for this chair a friend gave me, they were going to dump it, perhaps I should have let them, we'll see.

I am hoping to make it look something like this.




Stay cool.

    And, of course, the Goodwill finds really caught my attention. I am just a thrifting gal!
