Designed with Love

One of my BFF's recently
remodeled her guest room
this gal is a very talented seamstress
soooooo.........

She selected a pretty material
(to compliment her
newly painted walls) and made
these beautiful drapes!!

and she found the Romeo and Juliette
print at her local charity shop
(She is the queen of bargain shopping)

The room is still a work in progress
but I think it's looking great!

This dear friend has a May birthday
so I decided to re-design
something special for her new room
as my birthday gift

My creative juices are flowing
a little slow these days
but I finally stumbled upon
a piece at an estate sale
that inspired me!!


It was a cute little chair
that needed a lot of TLC

I love transforming the ugly duckling
into the beautiful swan......so I paid my
$8.00 and hauled it to my car

Once home I gave it a good cleaning
a little glue here and there
and started mixing paint
to get a nice soft blue that would
compliment the drapes

THE FINISHED PROJECT!!




I added some little tiles
as a focal point


and used an old burlap
coffee sack to cover the seat


added a cute little
burlap heart pillow

and it's ready for Carol's newly
redone Guest Bedroom



Every Little Birdie says
I can't wait to spend the night
in this beautiful room!
