My Cozy Little Corner

Hello everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day!    I haven’t done much this past week other than laying around because I have not felt well with a cold.  Now that I’m feeling better, I’ve been making some changes around here.  My cozy little corner in the family room was the first place changes took place.  I removed the two black chairs and replaced them with a wicker chair.

A few weeks ago, Charlie and I went to an indoor yard sale and this wicker chair was the only purchase I made that day.  It is in excellent shape and is well made and very comfortable.  Originally, my plan was to resell it but I think I’m going to keep it for myself.

Did you happen to notice the pillow?  Here’s a close-up.

Well I made it and I also made this one too.

I used a drop cloth to make the pillow covers and I then stenciled the patterns on using the stencils that I bought from Maison De Stencils

I have also removed all my winter greens and started creating new vignettes for the spring. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  It’s a four day weekend for Charlie so we are planning on doing some flea marketing this weekend…wish us luck! 

Thanks for stopping by.
