Blue Denim and Lace

       Two years ago I was working part time with my sister and was in the process of buying new furniture for the Living room. I had already picked out what I wanted and was waiting to have enough money to pay down on it when I found out I was getting laid off .........so there went the new couch ,chair and end tables ,kitchen table & chairs .    
 I was tired of the same old look so I went to my shed looked in a tub, found about 8 yards of dark Blue Denim ....... Idea!!!! Do I dare to use it on the couch , I said to myself well why not and just add a crocheted lace cover for the back .So here is the results !
Below is close -up of crocheted table cover
  The white pillows match perfect I tried to clean them to no avail ,they were given to me by Robin Franklin last year.So far the kids have stayed off it .:-)


Below.... well this chair is one of  4  that came with the table that was here when we moved in, they were in terrible condition, so I went back to the shed and looked in another tub and found some more blue denim, but lighter and covered the chair seats for now till I can afford new ones.


   I had a huge box full of left over batting that a friend left here for me , it is really thick ,so I used some for the seats to replace what is missing from the chair.
Below is the results of that.

          I know the chairs should be thrown out but sometimes you have to do what you have to do until something else comes along. I am one to try to solve a problem even if it is a temporary situation.

  2. Love the crocheted tablecloth. If the chair is still good then why not replace the seat? Nothing wrong with that.
