Fresh

Our bedroom is a disaster of laundry that seems to keep piling up and frankly is just feeling very dull right now. I typically shy away from warm colours like the yellows and reds and oranges but I found this amazing vintage table cloth on Sunday and couldn't resist turning it into pillows and art for the bedroom, just to infuse a little more energy and zest.

Table cloth

Pillows I found for the bed

Before the covers

They are a 70's chenille green colour.

After with the new covers made from the table cloth

I also made new pillow case covers from the fabric I found a few weeks ago they were a perfect match to go with the new smaller accent pillows and I used the table cloth fabric as a canvass piece as well.

Bedroom Before, very uninspiring

A litte more flare, now to tackle the laundry situation. Need to find dresser pronto!

Blue Gems on a Blue Day

Blue is actually my favorite color, ha, no surprise there especially if you come to my home. Here are some of my favorite blue things.


I adore robin's egg blue and when I was in university I stumbled across a tea set, not just any tea set but a vintage Poole tea set, circa 1950's in mint condition. It's a demitasse set with a small sugar bowl and a small creamer. Right away I pictured myself having tea parties with my one day daughter. Fortunately for me, it was a time when they still had lay-away. Months later it finally became mine and I have been collecting pieces ever since. 

Tea for two, one day soon!
