Changes

Welcome to my kitchen, come join me while

I make a few changes! After spending a little

time with me be sure to drop by

"Between Naps On The Porch"

and enjoy lots of wonderful ideals, waiting for

you there.

My eat in kitchen has looked like this for the

last few years. So after seeing all the faux

fireplaces out there in blog land, I decided to try

one. My heart always beats a little faster when

I see that wonderful fireplace in Paula's kitchen!

Not that mine will be anything that wonderful and

grand, but I can pretend, can't I??

The old....

My old wooden ironing board I used with my

old farm table. This table has saw better days I'm sure, but I love it!

So in keeping with that rustic look, here is a peak! No mantle yet, just the surround.

A couple of coat hooks from Hobby Lobby

will help hold the mantle in place.

Now all this started from all this great old barn

wood. Worm holes and all!

I have lots!

Well I that's enough of that until next week, and

I hope to be finished with this little project.

I turned the table lengthwise and added another

wooden bench. By turning the table lengthwise,

there will be more room to walk around it. Now with the extra bench, I can seat six at

this table.

I have these oak chairs dressed in a slip cover,

it helps dress the table up a little and creates

quiet a contrast!

Maybe toooo plain????

What do you think?????

Well did anyone see the post from Cote De Texas?

If you did, you saw the beautiful covered benches.

Yes, I copied the ideal to add a little softness!

Of course mine are no where near as glamorous,

as the ones in her post. Be sure to visit and see

that beautiful home!

My little bench covers started life as a bed skirt!

Yes I said bed skirt!! Now let me explain, sometimes

my ideals seen a little strange, I know, but please

remember I live forty five minutes from the

nearest fabric store, Walmart, ect. sooo when I want

to do anything, I have to consider the two hour travel

time, to even get my supplies, hence a vivid

imagination. I saw that the covers in the post

were pleated, remembered a white bed skirt I had

in my stash along with the dark brown material.

Oh my, tooo white. Well lets go take a coffee break!

I let the bed skirt stay in the old coffee for about

twenty minutes and now I ave a great color match

to the chair covers.

Thanks for visiting.

Hope you come back to follow the saga of Changes!

See you at Marty's!!
