"My Vision"

     My hubby found this table and my plans are to paint it white and slipcover the chairs in this box pleated style [my favorite] either in a white or blue ticking fabric. I can't remember exactly the magazine but I think it was British Home and Gardens were I first saw this picture...while browsing through magazines at Barnes & Nobles in San Luis Obispo.

     So what are your opinions? I think it's going to look terrific. But I have one slight problem...I don't sew...but I know who does!? You guess right...my hubby. This project will definitely take a little more time but it's going to be nice when completed.

     Until next time happy collecting, thrifting and dreaming.

  1. You don't sew? Well, I for one am happy to hear it as short of a straight line or maybe a button, I am the same. Here I was hoping you would let me know how to sew those lovely slipcovers! (PLEASE let me know if you find an easy way to make these).
    Great table!

    1. There's one little truth about me and it is this "it can be a fabulous find but it's gotta look superb (professional) too. If to your house begins to look like a second hand store and that definitely isn't my style. I'll show you the results and you'll be amazed! And yes we are like minded...that's why we found each other...and I'm so happy we did!:)

      Hugs...Rita
