A Few Fun Finds & a Sewing Project

Last week, we took you window shoppingat HomeGoods, Target & TJ Maxx. In the midst of showing you all of the great things we spotted, we actually made a few purchases too! I thought I might show you a few of my fun finds…

Now that spring has officially arrived in Sarasota, I am trying to have spring arrive in style in our home… so before I show you what we are doing to splash in some spring, some of the items I bought the other day are going to serve as a “sneak peak”…

Remember that bird towel I showed you from Target? My mom and I decided it just had to come and live in my kitchen. Birds are an absolute design trend and I couldn’t resist a touch of it in our home too since spring is revealing itself more and more everyday!

I also showed you some colorful pans we spotted from our shopping day… I grabbed one of those too! And yes, it is aqua! It was a must have since our old pot was ready to be buried.

Here’s the old one…

And the New One…

I also grabbed a faux plant for the sofa table… it was a whopping $2 from Michaels… gotta love it!

Then, if you recall the lime green frame that was in with my birthday gifts from my parents… I moved it from the kitchen to the entry way and set it beside this beauty…

Like I mentioned before, I am taking this week to put away all of the wintery, dark items and popping some color all around the house…

I will show you the progress once I am all done!!

The next fun find wasn’t purchased, I made it! As an interior designer, I get tons of large fabric samples from reps all the time. I have kept my favorites hoping some day I would be able to use them in my home. I used a Maharam fabric on a chair re-do awhile back and it turned out great! I have been saving this Schumacher fabric for quite awhile now… isn’t it cute?

Here are the details:

Pattern: 54780

Name: Let’s Dance

Color: Chartreuse & Sky

It also comes in a few other hues…

I had been keeping this cute fabric in my office closet long enough… the other night I grabbed my sewing machine and spent a few minutes sewing a lumbar pillow out of it…
