house stuff

[turnonmyheels]

Way back in the fall of last year I went to an auction and bought enough furniture to fill my house. Part of that furniture was a wrought iron and glass dinette. It had been used previously in someone's sunroom, but I thought it would be perfect for my deck.




Off white iron, white cushion. Kind of boring yes? Also, indoor fabrics.







Isn't it pretty? Off white like the iron, a shade of green I just adore, a pattern that compliments the wrought iron. A touch of brown to make it a bit more earthy.

It recovered beautifully




I haven't finished all of them so here's a before and after shot






Added up, I've spent about $80 on the whole thing. Not bad, huh?

The green is definitely much cuter.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

I think so.

Very cool!! (Oooh, you know what would be an awesome addition? A skinny bolster in that green with the patterned fabric on the outside ends. L'il lumbar support to encourage lingering! I AM PILLOW CRAZY I CANNOT HELP IT.)

I can't wait to see all of the great stuff you're doing out there.

If I had actual sewing skills I might attempt that. Unfortunately, I do not and no one has the patience to teach me

Love it! You are becoming quite the homemaker. :) I'm so happy for you.

Dang! How'd you do it? Pins? Sewing? *is awed by your skillz (and taste)*

LD, I have one for you:

staple gun

okay, so it's two, but still. Anytime you have a seat whose bottom is made of wood you can staple gun new fabric over it at anytime. It's a bit more difficult than it sounds because it's really a two man job, 'cause you've got to pull the fabric TIGHT and have the other person staple it, but it's SO worth it.

glad you like it!!

That makes sense! Awesome, go YOU, staplegunslinger! :D

Very nice color/pattern. It suits the chairs and your "style". I can't wait till I get to cum back up and see all the stuff you have finished.
I love you.
Bye for now.
Be well and Safe.
