Happy Tuesday! Hope you all are enjoying the warmer summer weather and it is not too hot to take advantage of enjoying the outdoors.
You may have noticed it has been a while since my last Red Door Home post. In fact, I think it is the longest amount of time I have ever had between posts since I began this blog over three years ago. As anyone with kids, a blog and a business knows, the end of the school year can be exceedingly busy. So while things have been quiet here, it is definitely not the case at my house. Besides adjusting to a new summer routine, keeping up with lots of activities and sports, I have been putting my sewing machine to good use both for me and my Etsy shop.
On the home front I have been doing a few little updates to my living room. Below is what the space looked like before.
Here is a sneak peak of what it looks like today with more changes to follow soon!
I made the new off-white cushion covers and then had an upholster finish up the bottom part of the two chairs. Having the two chairs in the same fabric made a big difference as now the space feels more unified.
I also made some new pillows for the chairs from old curtain fabric I had in my basement. My mom made the curtains over twenty five years ago and when my parents moved into a new house she no longer had use for them. For some reason I decided to save two of the panels to use for a pattern. I never used them as a pattern, but am happy I kept them all these years as they are the perfect complement to this room.
My sewing machine has also been kept busy with lots of embroidered pillows courtesy of my Etsy shop. The most popular designs have been my new Linen Letter in a Box Pillowsand the Lumber Letter Pillows.
I can also tell that the holidays (yikes!) are really not that far away as I have even sold a few stockings!
That is all for now. I hope you have a great rest of the week. I will be back in a few days with the July Red Door Home blog of the month!
