Recent projects

 Wanted to let all know I have been busy. That pillow we talked about that was going to NY. This is it. I think I'll send two though. This pillow is down filled. I really am a fan of down. It last forever and never goes flat.
I really love fabric and have a closet full of all sizes and styles. I can never go to Atlanta without stopping at some of my favorite spots like Lewis and Sheron, Ohco, Forsyth Fabric, Design Finds.  I'll show some in this post that I recently aquired.

 I think I showed this chair in another post but wanted to update. This is the before just home from Atlanta, nothing has been done yet.

 Now the finish is done.

 This is during upholstery

 Now it is finished and in the shop. It turned out great. I hope soon to get a better camera. Mine does not have a wide enough angle.

 These are some recent fabric pick-ups. But I have more to show soon. The orange shades are very popular now.

These are two recent paintings. My style is very whimsical and that does not always go over well. For the first time I have really been selling my paintings. I have sold several tutu's. You can see them in past posts.

Well I have been very inspired by Catherine of freddyandpetunia she is amazing in her talents and I am definitely impressed and  in awe. I hope soon to show some projects that she inspired. Till next time I will continue to share pictures from other blogs Lolly

Inspiring Photos

Love this pine green velvet sofa.

Love how beautifully green and blue live together. Most feel they don't work as a team. But all color combinations of blue and green marry well. I am seeing more of this fabulous combo lately.

Pink in my opinion always works. Love it.

I do love this dining room, even though there is no color. It feels soothing. But I would use color. The hypertufa is a great idea on a dining room table.

If ever I find a sofa like this one, it will come home with me. This is love at first sight.
I will be posting new pictures this weekend of my projects. I finished a chair. Mustard my be involved.Also wanted to tell all about a wonderful fabric outlet near Atlanta called Ohco. It is in Covington about 25 miles outside Atlanta on Highway 20 going East. Got some great fabrics there I will be showing them soon. L

Love the purple

 These pictures are from different bloggers I follow, I could not help but share them this morning. I love the lamp here.

 The purple hues in these next three pictures are wonderful. I hope you find them as great as I do. Tonight I will be updating my shop pictures. L

Morning Inspiration

Love the black ceiling. I am a fan of colorful ceilings. Mustard is also a wonderful choice. I have used it many times.

I love nudes.

This one might be my favorite this morning, even though I love them all.

Notice the bench used at the kitchen table.

A dream bedroom. I am loving purple lately. See the new Traditional Home.

Here she is

 This is the new color. What do you think? I decided that I will change something major every few weeks. I am not to sure of it but I figure it will be ok for a week or two. I am rolling around a couple other options like periwinkle as suggested by my cousin Sharon, and something blue. I think I need a wider angle camera because my pictures seem so far away. That may be something for the near future.

 Last week there was a dining room set with the two upholstered chairs, and two regular chairs here, they sold, this hutch replaced them. I love this hutch it came from an estate sale in a lovely old home. The home was about 60 years old and filled with beautiful vintage pieces. I also love these old horse head lamps which came from and old lodge they are also vintage 1940's. They were an old faded orange and I put a patina on them. I wanted to do rust but was out of my iron paint. Alot of people have strong feelings about these lamps. Most do not like them, but I love them for some reason. What do you think.

 Just minor rearranging

 Two new chairs

New concept... the twin bed made into banquets with a rectangle table. This is actually a desk. There a 4 of the chairs on top of the table they were newly upholstered two of each upholstery. I'll get back later I am pulling staples for new chair upholstery project. I also need to post the pillows for NY.

Well I did it

Yesterday I was in the shop to custom paint some pieces for a young lady named Stephanie who bought a dining room set, a dresser, and a bed. She lives on Allison near King Rd. I decided while I was there to address the pink wall. It was more time consuming than the furniture. What do you think I did?  I'll be posting pictures soon. I have many before shots of projects also to share. Let me know about the wall I'm still thinking of other possibilities. Maybe I'll change some walls every three months. We will see. I also have some pictures of pillows that will not go into the shop. They will go straight to NY. 124 Columbia Heights to be exact. There is a young lady who lives there in dire need of custom pillows. L

Just checking in

Wanted to say there will be new pictures soon. I've been in Atlanta for a few days and will be posting about what went on and what I found. Also this weekend I sold two dining room sets so new things will come to the store. Till then a little inspiration from other blogs Lolly
