Mini Decorating Project

A friend of mine called and wanted me to help her get started on decorating her new home.  Here is a few before and after shots of what I did.  I was extremely excited to have had this opportunity and she helped me to fine tune my sewing!  Together we made 2 table covers (1 table square and 1 runner)! 

Here is the entry BEFORE

 And AFTER!  All it took to spruce up this area was to change up the arrangement.  I used most of what was already in the container, just adding newer, brighter colors.  OUT with the ivy...IN with the grasses! 

 And a close up.

Powder Room BEFORE

And AFTER!!!  Again, just a few touches is all it took to make this space fresh!

Above the cabinets...BEFORE

AFTER!

AFTER...just a few things so far for above the cabinets! 

Dining Room BEFORE

AND AFTER!

We worked on making this runner together.  She actually showed me how to sew and I picked the fabrics.  (I did actually sew a little myself on this one!)  All this room needed was a runner and candlesticks and it's complete!

And the last part of this project is the square table cover.  It's hard to tell the beautiful colors in this picture, but there are several shades of turquois and lime greens in the center fabric, and the gold trim really tops it off!  (I did not sew this one...but I did coordinate the fabrics!)

I hope you can see that sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to change a space.  Nikki had some great things to work with and an incredible house to add my touch to!  It was great throwing things together that the two of us liked!
