A Cloche for Every Season

As you know Marty at A Stroll thru Life is having a cloche party.  These are always so much fun.  Thanks Marty, for hosting!  I almost always have cloches integrated into my decor in one way or another.  Hope you enjoy looking at some of the ways I use them and how they can be decorated for any season of the year. 


IN THE SUN ROOM  (Summer)

I made this pedestal from an odd an octagon shaped plate and candlestick I found at Habitat.  The cloche came from there too, and covered a dried floral item that had seen better days.  This currently holds one faux hydrangea.






IN THE DINING ROOM  (Summer)
This cloche covers three of my small angels.




SUN ROOM (Spring/Summer)
The above cloche/dome is etched and so fragile.  I bought it, the Limoge plate on which it sits, and the two roses underneath the dome for less than $3.00 at a thrift shop.  It is one of my favorites!


KITCHEN  (Autumn)
In the above photo, I merely turned a hurricane vase upside down over a fabric pumpkin, tied orange raffia around it to complete the autumn vignette.


LIVING ROOM (Spring/Summer)
Here the wire cloche holds a little bird bought at Cracker Barrel.  It holds a sign "Joy".

It is so much fun to use cloches in decor and change out the items displayed.

    I really wish I could find a reasonably priced cloche here in the UK, when I see how versatile they are.
    Thank you for sharing with us Kathy.

  9. I'm especially loving that wire cloche. So unique! I have to say your comment at my place about the view outside your house made me rethink mine even more. Perspective is everything. I never considered odor getting thrown into the mix! Agh! But then I have a super sensitive nose. Stale cigarette smoke sometimes wafts over and that's enough to make me crazy. Poultry houses might have been a whole different story. Good luck with that!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
