I wanted to show y'all my dining room chairs that I recovered last year. The fabric is beautiful and it matched the dishes that I had. I got lucky and found the fabric by accident one day at the linen outlet. I was so happy! It is even made by the same designer that made the dishes. (Raymond Waites.) Anyway I changed up my colors when I got this cottage so I decided to give them to my little sister. They look so good in her house. But now I have to cover my chairs again! I'm on the look out for some pretty 'shabby' fabric in maybe pink or green. I still haven't painted the bottom of the hutch. It is primed though. I was thinking that I could make her some place mats out of the fabric. Her dining room has an accent wall in that color red. 
I have to go now...I have my grand baby today and we are going to 'play' for a while.

So sweet of you to hand down your pretties when you changed colors! I am leaving some of my red behind too, now, as I fall in love with pink and robin's egg blue. (I still love my red though!!)

Aren't you adorable to share your treasures ... & to know they will be taken care of with love. You are precious ... TTFN ~ Marydon
I hope you and Jason had a blast today. It definitely doesn't seem like he should be a year old. He was so cute and proud of himself yesterday, playing in the water fountain yesterday. He would turn around as if expecting for us to tell him....No. I hope you have a great day!
You're a sweetie for handing them down to your sister, they are absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you do now. I know you're having a blast spoiling that baby!! Have fun!

I just love your blog! I glanced through looks like you had a great thrift shop day!!
I'll be back! Thanks so much for visiting and entering my giveaway! Good Luck!

My house was once done in lots of reds just like those on your chair. I loved it...but, as I have grown older I just like the softer stuff much better. Too bad I don't have three for four houses....I'd have each one done differently!

I love your chairs! My kitchen stools are covered in a fabric similiar to that design. I'm not yet ready to switch over to the shabby look in my kitchen. Also, it is so sweet of you to pass on to your sister the dishes. My sister thinks I'm too froufrou for her, but we do like to share.
Take care.
Toodles.

Lee,I am so sorry about your brother . My heart is with you. If there is anything I can do just e-mail me.
I am so sad for you and your family. I have lost a brother and a sister. And it is very hard.
Sending you lots of love, Nita
What a sweet sister thing to do. I just adore my sisters...they are my best friends! And I would be lost without them.
By the way, you and your sis look soooooooo much alike. Beautiful girls!

I bet your sister loves the gift! Have fun recovering the new chairs! I'm in the process of doing the same thing! It's so much fun picking the fabric out and seeing the finished results! Be sure to post it when you're done!
Hi Lee,
Thank you for the sweet comments on the dress. Answering your question, it was really easy, I would have to say the skirt was way easier, and the Amy Butler patterns are a little pricier than the Simplicity, and other patterns, but her instructions are WAY WAY more easier to understand. The halter I made was an Amy Butler pattern and it was so incredibly easy!!! You should try your hand at it. I know you'd do a great job!!!
Hugs
♥ Teresa
