Today I revealing my French chair slipcovers. People ask me where I got the chairs all the time. I found them at a French antique auction, years ago. I think they might have come with cushions. If they did, I tossed them. I felt it was best to start fresh. I’ve been spending […]
Elegant and Colorful Easter Table
It’s that time of year. I’m thinking of Easter and how I want to decorate my table this year. Usually I add color with dishes, but this time I’m using my Haviland dishes with very pastel colors, so the color is coming from my tulips, napkins and tablecloth.

Square Ottoman Slipcover
