Long time no see, my friends!
I've been keeping myself busy with thoughts of summer, planning our little garden, and running around in my latest favourite: the recycling center!
Oh man that place is a treasure!
You all know how I fancy flea markets, nostalgia and the general idea of old things, so now being in a completely new situation of having an own yard, I've been thinking of how to make it look like us.
All these big outdoor markets are filled with huge garden furniture which didn't feel at all tempting. They're modern and somehow too 'clean' for my taste! I need something edgier, more comfortable, colourful, cute, shabby but chic!!
So the recycling center answerd to my cry and here's the result so far!
Finds no. 1
Two completely blown-up wooden chairs which I painted, and now they're brand new!
I don't have a before-picture, I was too anxious to start the project, shoot!
This is what's been bothering me during this Easter-week in general:
I have no patience! I can't wait! Fingers are itching! Too much exitement!!
Finds no. 2
Lots of pillows, and a bunch of old retro kitchen towels and pillow cases which I sew together to a quilt-like cover!
This is how it looked before.
Our home is an old wooden house from the 30's, and these old furniture was here when we moved in.
They're cute but very red, so a little pimping can make them look like something else!
Like this perhaps!
This how I started:
A fleece cover inside, the old fabrics to the front, and a white bed linen to the back. Perfect for cuddling in it too if it gets chilly!
I'm so happy about this!
Recycling is smart in every possible way and doesn't cost much either! Hooray!
Then another thing: I'm facing a big challenge with gardening, so a session with the wiser (my dear Mother and aunt) took place and we drove to get flowers and pots and such!
There's still a lot to do and I can't wait to get green leaves in the trees or to see what will pop up in the garden!
Like I said, it's so exiting!
Too exiting!!
This will just be one loooong spring in our household..
I will keep you posted my dears, hugs!
