Chair-ies

Here is the sort-of slipcover that I made for the craft room chair. It is just a plain rolling office chair and I took some of the Mary Engelbreit fabric that I had left from the pink room before it was pink and made a simple cover. Kind of dim and grainy but you get the idea (camera phone, you know).

Rub a Dub Dub

The non-footed clawfoot bathtub we bought for 20 bucks at a yard sale. It has a Halloween theme right now.

Pretty in Pink

This is one of those finds that I wasn't expecting to find. After a severely disappointing trip to the flea market, we stopped at a thrift store to look around for a bit, and I found almost exactly the quilt I wanted for the pink room. I wanted a patchwork rag quilt, but I will settle for just patchwork. It is almost perfect. I also got the pink pillow case and the ivory lace pillow. The headboard is a piece of iron fencing that we got on our little summer getaway trip. It is hard to see with the lighting, but the curtain in the window is actually my wedding veil. On the wall to the left is Jesse's baby quilt. The pink and ivory water can on the floor beside the bed was the water can that my mother-in-law and her brothers used when they were picking cotton as kids.

I'm also posting a picture of the pink chair that we got at an indoor flea market a few months ago.... I still need to paint the wooden part with some off-white to age it, but it is a nice color upholstery.

Bottled Up

This is the type of label and jar that I would like to use in the guest bath. Or maybe in all the baths. This picture is from MyPrimCottage.
