So here is what I started with.
Shelf is too small and a visual mess
with the books and colors.
A little mish mosh.
A little messy.
I've wanted to do something more
Paris flea market meets Prarie Farmhouse.
I glued my paper.
Last night I made a Target run.
I originally planned to sew linen drapes
to cover the bookshelf .
I found pretty ( and already mostly sewn)
drapes that have a linen look so I have decided
to accent with them.
I cut one 84 inch drape in half -
I have to hem and sew in
a ruffle at the top but that should take about 20 minutes.
I bought them for my slider too!
Changes the whole look and
is much more soothing in general.
Not to mention hides the hideous paneling!
I'll sew in a ruffle at the top there to
hide the space and seam the bottom.
I still have to give these two areas a facelift.
This was my bar but we got some
built in cabinetry so I am repurposing
it for my photography area.
It's a better height then what I had.
Now I just have to figure out if
I want to paint it AGAIN!
Poor thing has been painted
6 times in the last 3 years -
(I DON"T have a problem).
Then I have this corner
might put a drape on it.
I wish my sewing machine fit in here it
would solve a lot of problems : P.
Have you found any short cuts
that help you get things done?
I love sale drapes - sometimes they are cheaper
then straight fabric and have half the sewing done!
Also you don't need expensive displays!
Check out my sweet little candle holder
with a few rings!
Happy Thursday!!!
