Another new thing for me will be to do it completely DIY. I've always enjoyed crafting, repurposing, decorating things but have never been strictly DIY. This will be a challenge to do, but I'm looking forward to it.
I have all I need for decorating, but it's fun to get ideas to redo something that you already have.
I have a sofa and a couple of chairs that I plan on recovering with the dropcloths and maybe some burlap on the backs....will see that is the plan now anyways.
I also have some parsons chairs for the dining room I've been 'meaning' to recover for a while now. Those will need slipcovers also. The nice part about all these slipcovers is that I have the material already...and the supplies, just need the time!
Another thing is that I wont be able to paint the walls (grrrrr!!) so I just plan on adding a few pops of colors in the pillows and art work.
{Paint color BM Amsterdam AF-550...would be great for a couple of furniture pieces)
My sofa would look similar to this (not like we don't know what a white slipcovered sofa looks like)
Lots of whitish candles
I don't want to compromise the style I have now, but in a smaller space we'll need to go a little lighter and a little less!
More to follow!

Sounds like you have a good decorating plan in place. Hope you're doing okay :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI randomly came across your blog and am now following along. Sending my prayers over to your daughter and family! ;) My family and I bought our first house and moved in last June. It's a small fixer, so it'll be awhile before we can get it 100% functional (before the decorating process). My blog is about that journey plus everything else in between. ;) Anyway, have a great day & God Bless.
Cheers,
Jessie
