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?

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
