Don't you just love simplicity?
I do!
And right now I am in love with 'No Sew' projects.
The simple, quick way to update decor in a jiffy!!
All with the help of a box of tiny gold safety pins.

 Place your cushion filling wadding onto the previously washed
and pressed fabric, and wrap it up.
Just as if you are wrapping a gift.
It's so easy!

Fold the cut edges like a selvedge as shown. 
You can use a hot iron to press them in place to make it easier.
Then bind the seams using the little gold safety pins.
NO SEWING MACHINE REQUIRED!

 Place down the centre back seam, 
and on the neatly enveloped corners.
From start to finish this wee project took a total of 20 minutes!

 Just remove the safety pins to wash the fabric, or to change the fabric to a new design.

She thinks the bird design is chirpy!

It's a heavy cotton.

I'm In The Garden...

What have you got planned for today?
French Country Ideas
The weather here is suddenly Spring-like.
There is certainly a little gardening inspiration going on at Mia Bella Gardens, and what a delicious, warm, fuzzy feeling that is!

French Country Chest...

Did I tell you...
I am in LoVe...
With anything shabby, chic or upcycled!
I wish my house were much bigger so I could fill it with more gorgeous pieces.
I thought you all might like a peek at the new old tallboy recently bought.

I simply Adore -
.....details!

And this is a chest with the utmost gorgeous details.

I saw this chest before its makeover, and it most definitely was not as beautiful then as it is now.
It never ceases to amaze me how paint can transform tired old furniture.

 We decided to keep the original hardware,
 which was given a spruce up.

The chalk paint finish is in Annie Sloan's 'Pure White', which emphasises all that fab detail.
The distress was kept to a minimum because it really just didn't need it!
Are you in LoVe yet?
I am totally in LoVe with upcycled furniture painted with chalk paint!
