My inspiration.....inspired to carry on because of you....
So many of you commented about my nightmare chair. And, it seems as though you felt my pain and had similar experiences redoing furniture.
Dore from www.burlapluxe.blogspot.com suggested that I let the chair tell me what it wanted to be, and believe it or not, it did!
Thanks Dore!!!
Remember the before and the not so great after.....
Well, how do ya like me now????
She spoke to me and said, " I want to be cottage, beachy and shabby all in one. I want to be pretty!"
I think she's ready for her debute. Whew, what a relief!
She's now Gizzie approved!
I made these silk panels for my family room, hung them up for one day and took them down. Now, their back up again and I think I'm liking them. What do you think?
Okay, sweet ones that I adore. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for all of your support and wonderful comments.
You are all such a clever bunch. I adore you, you know.

The Chair is FABULOUS!
I am starting to catch up on my Blog visits. I have been in Nashville at an art event and came home to no Internet! A storm fried our modem, DSL an phone! It's been out since last Friday so I am waaaaaaaay far behind!
Love,

Girlfriend....what is going on with you?? Your stuff is fabulous. Quit double guessing yourself. I think those curtains are gorgeous!
I love the drapes, Sissie! Great pattern and color! I think you should leave them up {or at least for more than a day so you can get a real feel for them}.
Sissie you are so right about that fabric being just what your sweet chair needed!! So pretty!!
the drapes are fantastic too!! I need to find some fabric for the front guest room window- haven't come across the fabric yet (it has to be cheap and pretty- I have come across the pretty just not the cheap!!)

The chair looks just perfect, Sissie! I think listening to yourself paid off. It has all the bright colors of your personality. I like the drapes, too. Leave them up and live with them awhile!
XO,

Gizzie is so cute and so it your chair! Sissie, I have started seeing plaids around, I think it looks great in a family room. Why are you decorating, I thought you were selling your house?

I pictured your chair all hot pink and loud!! That fabric is so Lilly isn't it?? I love it. The gold plaid curtains are very elegant too Sissie. You are a busy bee my dear.
I think the silk panels are fabulous. I love that color. The chair is wonderful with the blue paint and cheerful fabric cushions. Does it make you smile every time you see the chair! Your are an inspiration.
Sissie, I love the silk panels! And that chair with that gorgeous beachy fabric is amazing!

Hi Sissieness! Oh, your chair looks fabulous - love the color and that fabric is precious! Now I'm in love with your draperies and would certainly keep them up. They look a little like checkered sunshine! :)

So glad the chair spoke to you. Love the new color and fabric. I am glad I am not the only one with talking furniture! Thanks for joining the party.
Beautifully spoken by the chair.
Love the panels!!! I want some like yours!
Perfect! That's what she was meant to be. So good of you to really listen to her and grant her a beautiful new life. :)
You're right! That fabric does look like painted canvas. I know it's pink, but I LOVE it on the chair! What an improvement!!

Sissie, I've had absolutely no time to blog lately and I've missed yours the most. I've been drooling over everything in your last few posts that I've finally gotten around to reading. Love the pink fabric and the chair is whimsical and wonderful! I hope to have a new post up in the next day or two...I've missed my blogger friends.
What's not to love about those pretty panels??? I love them. And, yep, the chair looks great - I do love that fabric.
Thanks so much for coming to THT.
