Creating a Style Board Using French Décor

I was contacted by Holly Hughes with Chairish.com to create a style board using one of their vintage chairs as my inspiration. Of the sample chair photos she sent me, I chose the Next French Medallion Chair. I love its simple, yellow upholstery with noo pattern, and I also like the shape of the chair. It would fit well in a room in the French style of decor that we bloggers love so well. I created my style board for a casual family room.

I have shown the chair larger since it is the inspiration piece. I kept gold and red as the main colors for the room. All the items I chose are available at Chairish.com. What is Chairish? It is an online store where you can buy and sell your vintage items. Lots of the items are "make an offer" items. You should check it out.

About my other items. I liked the table (commode) because it speaks to the curves on the chair. The mirror for the wall is vintage, and would look great over the table. The rug has a somewhat modern vibe, but would anchor the other items well, and would make for a cozy family room setting. The pattern will work well because the chair is a solid color. I chose the lamp for it's vintage style, as well, the red candle sticks for a pop of color, and the rooster art because what says french style, more than roosters?

Hope you like my style board, and many thanks to Holly for the invitation to participate in this opportunity.

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently. But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better. I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final. I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk about it quite yet. But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me. I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"! Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never happen. ...

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. ...

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning. First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room. Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet. Really, how does that happen? My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust. This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too. It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often. I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore. Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers . These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate. The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
