rainy day puttering...

I spent a few rainy days this week puttering in my studio and did some purging and cleaning.  

Here are a few before photos...

It was time to take my makeshift slipcover (a matalesse coverlet) off of my chair to wash and freshen up for spring.

I decided that I wanted to "retire" my french inspired clock and cubby drawer that displayed my flower frog collection and some interesting drawer pulls that await projects...

When I took the slipcover off the chair, I decided to keep it off for a while, even though it is so dark.

What do you think...

I brightened it up a bit with my beautiful white ruffled scarf from Full Bloom Cottage...

I replaced the clock and cubby drawer with a mirror from my bedroom (since I replaced it with the one I traded for at the white show, I'll share that next week).  I scattered my frog collection around and of course I kept my french girls...

Next to my chair I hung my white rose print that use to be in my den...

I also put my prairie skirt over my little bookshelf to hide a few messy shelves.  (I bought the skirt to wear at the white show but my derriere did not need the added layers!)


I neatened up the top two shelves and added the old bell.
So glad it did not sell at the show ~ I love it...

I like the new look...

Do you?


I am joining Debra over at Common Ground for
Vintage Inspiration Friday.


I have been working on a new project for my living room that I will share with you all next week!


Have a wonderful weekend!!
