A much needed makeover...

So on one of my many trips to DI, I found this diamond in the rough. It's a reproduction of a French bergere chair by Drexel Heritage. There was just one tiny problem. The upholstery was hideous. It had to be changed. Quickly. So I rolled up my sleeves and went to work.

Slowly the chair morphed in to this. But something about the busy fabric and the trim bugged me. If only the pattern was bigger-I'm not sure. But I was sure of one thing, It had to be changed...again!

So this is what it finally evolved into. And I must say, I am pretty pleased with the result. Will thinks it looks like a beach towel, but I must say I really like it up against my blue wall. I love what 8 dollars at DI and a little elbow grease can turn into.

The fruits of my labor...

They say that most florists don't have a green thumb. Well I am here to prove that saying a myth. Here is my proof.

I went outside to water my vertically challenged tomato plants, and I found these little beauties. They are tiny little things- just a half inch around. But I am still pleased as punch. Hopefully there are more to come.
