I am thinning out my small scrap bin and cutting 2.5 " mini charms to give away. They are definately going to be scrappy! To be eligible for the give away, leave me your ideas or suggestion in the comments section and follow me at Domestic Felicity I will close out the give away on Friday, February 1st!
The Winner of the Charms go to Barbara Woods!
Strings!!! For curtains. Jelly roll rug! This is fun!!! Patchwork cushion covers...oh stop me now.
ReplyDeletehi Melody, I like the string curtain idea. It reminds me of some of those string flags I've been seeing at markets.
DeleteI use my strings ans scraps for blocks done GAUG
ReplyDeleteI think some great blocks as wall hangings would be cute.
DeleteCongratulations Barbara! You are the winner of the 2.5" charm squares snippet from my scrap basket this week! I have emailed you.
DeleteI think some of your scraps could be used as bunting
ReplyDeleteI may have to round up scraps large enough for at least one bunting. Maybe some with adorable sayings on them.
Deletefabric postcards - for Valentines day! wall hangings and pincushions!
ReplyDeleteI do think some vintage-vibe wall hangings sounds superb!
DeleteYou need some color so pick your favorite and make a shade of that fabric. The screen prints out there now are wonderful. Since everything must be tied down buy colored containers and put some art deco up.
ReplyDeleteIt is always so hard to pick one favorite color, but I agree! A big splash of color would be fantastic!
DeleteFabric baskets are a great helper, not only for storage, but can be made out of scraps!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, thanks for sharing!
DeleteOh I would take off the doors on the upper cupboard above the couch, paint them a happy colour and display beautiful fabrics and sewing nicknacks, also paint the cupboards on the opposite side. Then I would paint the walls, add a drop down table under the window.
ReplyDeleteNext, I would remove the valances and add side curtains...will make the space seem taller. Add a beautiful rug.
Then add a beautiful quilt along the back of the couch, quilted pillows and finally a sign above the window that says Dreams are Made of This.

Giving the appearance of a taller space would be so fantastic! And your window sign sounds superb! I must break out my Cricut and work on yet another fun project!
ReplyDeleteThe window treatments are very light to let the natural light in, but they are very dreary to me. I would like some color to them. They could still be a light color or a brighter color to let the light enter. If I were you, I'd pick a color that you like and take the time to make some new window treaments to brighten the "room." The dark wood makes the "room" look darker also. I don't know if it would be impossible to paint it or not. I think it would be fun to cover the sofa with one of your lovely lighter favorite quilts that would blend with your above changes. Good luck. Anyone of the changes might be enough to make you happier. I'd take it slow and see what makes you happy without too much effort. Every time I visit, I get homesick. I was born and raised in WV and lived there until I graduated from college. Then I moved to PA for 9 months. Now I've been in OK for years. This year is my 50 year reunion from high school. I don't think that I will come back. Good luck with your change(s).
ReplyDeleteThanks Suze, and there is No Place like Home ;)
DeleteI would paint the walls with a brighter, happier color. Soft pink or a light orange maybe. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat Colors!
