I had a very productive day today and it felt great. I made three pillows, upholstered an arm chair, painted a piece of furniture and caulked and primed some trim. Whew! There are a few things that are contributing to the flurry of activity. First of all, we have a big photo shoot happening over the next two days. Second, I need to take some more shots for the cover of my book. Lastly, we are soooo close to finishing some projects that have dragged on for years, so I’m ready to have things done.
Here’s one of the pillows I made…
A good friend of my mother-in-law gave this unfinished needlework piece to me and the colors were perfect for my house. The second pillow is a tea towel with simple ties on each side.
I’ll show the pillow and the upholstered chair another day. I ran out of light today. I will share the piece of furniture I painted, though, since we were all missing my furniture projects. Here’s the “before”…
…and how it looks now…
It’s a pretty typical “Miss Mustard Seed” piece. I refinished the top in a dark walnut stain with a waxed finish and the base is painted in ASCP Paris Gray with Old White detail.
And here are the winners of my weekend giveaways…
