Happy Tuesday! Hope
you all are enjoying the warmer summer weather and it is not too hot to take
advantage of enjoying the outdoors.
You may have noticed it has been a while since my last Red
Door Home post. In fact, I think it is
the longest amount of time I have ever had between posts since I began this
blog over three years ago. As anyone
with kids, a blog and a business knows, the end of the school year can be
exceedingly busy. So while things have
been quiet here, it is definitely not the case at my house. Besides adjusting to a new summer routine,
keeping up with lots of activities and sports, I have been putting my sewing
machine to good use both for me and my Etsy shop.
On the home front I have been doing a few little updates to
my living room. Below is what the space looked like before.
Here is a sneak peak of what it looks like today with more
changes to follow soon!
I made the new off-white cushion covers and then had an
upholster finish up the bottom part of the two chairs. Having the two chairs in
the same fabric made a big difference as now the space feels more unified.
I also made some new pillows for the chairs from old curtain
fabric I had in my basement. My mom made the curtains over twenty five years
ago and when my parents moved into a new house she no longer had use for them. For some reason I decided to save two of the
panels to use for a pattern. I never
used them as a pattern, but am happy I kept them all these years as they are
the perfect complement to this room.
My sewing machine has also been kept busy with lots of
embroidered pillows courtesy of my Etsy shop.
The most popular designs have been my new Linen Letter in a Box Pillows
and the Lumber Letter Pillows.
I can also tell that
the holidays (yikes!) are really not that far away as I have even sold a few
stockings!
That is all for now.
I hope you have a great rest of the week. I will
be back in a few days with the July Red Door Home blog of the month!
