It’s true…
I have been having a bit of a love affair.
What can I say?
I have no excuse …
I can’t even apologize for it…
because I kind of like it
I have been drawn to the romantic lately.
To the dreamy, the shabby, the delightfulness of faded colors,
vintage fabrics and lots of
ruffles.
I see table linens, a duvet cover for my bed, pillow covers
and slipcovers… all made from something different.
I had a round ottoman that was needing some love…
so I got out the scissors and turned that something from Overstock into a slipcover.
I am loving how it turned out
and with all it’s dreamy white ruffliciousness…
it’s perfect.
