Project Reveal!

 

🌷🌱🌷

Do you remember four posts 

ago I teased you with a few photos 

from a new project I'd started.

🌱🌷🌱

Today is my reveal,

I'm very excited to 

show it to you! 

All of this furniture 

is pretty old 

some of it over 20 or 25 

years old and the cushions 

are still functional but 

just aren't pretty anymore.

I've been covering them for 

many years now.

This is how they look 

without covers.

This is my stack of

slip covers.

Plus a little footstool

that used to be in our 

little motorhome

15 years ago.

It's brown and has storage

inside, but now it's covered, too :)

Warm weather has been sneaking 

into our part of the woods 

on and off for the last few weeks. 

Some days are warm and some days 

are still cold, 

but I'm ready for enjoying 

my front porch.

This project started with 

a set of old sheets. 

The bottom one was pretty worn

 but the top one was still nice 

so I used it 

(the white with the little rose buds) 

and added some big flower fabric 

that I got at Walmart 

plus a few whimsical panel pieces 

that I bought at a local fabric store

 a couple weeks ago.

The panel had 6 adorable squares

I used 3 of them on the porch :)

.I was with my sister-in-law 

and she said, 

"that fabric is you, Connie". 

So after thinking about it 

I decided she was right and bought it. 

It turned out to be the finishing 

touch that I needed for this project.

These are thrifting finds,

that I found just this week.

Well my porch looks very girly 

and makes me think I need 

to have some friends over for 

a tea party 

or 

at least lemonade and cookies. 

There's always a lot of hard work 

to do this time of year 

but I'm learning that I have to stop, 

take breaks and enjoy 

the simple pleasures in life.

 I think my new redo 

on the front porch is going 

to bring me a lot of pleasure 

this year and I made them all 

like pillow cases 

so I can take them off 

and throw them in the washing machine 

when I need to.

 

I wish I could have 

each and every one of you 

over to just sit and relax. 

Put your feet up, 

drink a cool drink 

and 

have sweet conversation. 

🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷

God bless you all 

and 

Happy Spring!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
