Life has a way of changing your plans...
I know I had teased you all with a peek at some fabric on my last post and really had every intention of posting on it yesterday and it didn't happen...I am sorry!
Hopefully with forgiveness you will be happy to see it today instead...
Let me just tell you a little about this fabric...this happens to be just a few in one of my favorite collections called Darla from Grand Revival Designs by Tanya Whelan. When I say favorite I really mean "LOVE"...her designs and collections...I cannot get enough of them.
I bought several yards of fabric a year ago with the thought of making handbags out of them...well, I soon started to realize I was going to have a hard time parting with any of the fabric I ordered. Moving and remodeling our home gave me visions of them sprinkled throughout our house...they are now going to stay right here. I know...I will have to order more to design some very cute bags for my boutique. These fabrics just said, "Fresh, Vintage and Happy" to me, and that is what I love to surround myself in.
Something new and exciting about her Darla collection...she now has a new line for the Home!! It is wonderful! You must visit Tanya and read her post all about it.
Where did I use this beautiful fabric??...
Well...let me take you back a couple of re-dos before I share.
A little over a year ago I bought these 2 chairs that I found on Craigslist for $20 back in NM. So here is where I started...
I know...not so pretty but lots of potential!
Then the first makeover...in red and plaid
and now...
Crisp white and distressed...
So fresh and pretty!
With a vintage look...
Have a great weekend friends!!
Hugs to you all,
