I made these Roman Shades for a house on Nantucket. They were made out of old curtain panels. They came out great!

New Slipcovers

I recently made these slipcovers for my sweetheart's mom's beach house in Watsonville CA. New carpet is going in this week and next fall we will be painting the walls. It's going to be beautiful!

I Made these Drapes last summer for a house on Nantucket. These side panels are in a downstairs bedroom.

They were made with one full width of fabric. Rod pocket w/ a small header and tassel fringe down the side.

These yellow drapery panels are a toille with matching wall paper. Pinch pleat and just skimming the floor.

I am the worst blogger. I am so determined to stay on top of it but I do not know where the time goes. Since my friend here in these photos was kind enought to encourage me and make herself a fan. I am posting this for you Bethany. I love your blog fullhookups.blogger.com. We are here in Carmel, CA on a beautiful day. I'm from the east coast and I understand it's like this all the time in Carmel. Just another day.

Nantucket can be a very quiet place in the winter. The population is so small that you can walk the downtown streets in the winter and see no one as you pass closed up shop after closed up shop waiting for spring. So it is always great to get together with friends and that was just what we did on this night. If it had not been for us, the Brotherhood would have probably closed an hour earlier. Thank you Susan, Lu, Keely, Cristina and Susan for a fun evening.

This is Willow (above) and Piper (to the left).

Here are the after pictures.

These are before pictures of a chair I slipcovered.

A work in progress.

Here is a photo of the chair before I reupholstered it.

A nice, soothing combination of greens and yellows.

Here is a nice view of the sofa and throw pillows.

This is an example of my blogs purpose. I am a home decorator as well as a fashion designer. These cushions, pillows and the sofa , which you can only see a bit of were all re-upholstered by me. I hope I can get more clarifying photos uploaded but until then this is a teaser. I have many, many photos of my work on Nantucket. More to come.

I am learning to blog and uploaded my first image. This is a sunset in Madaket from a few years ago. The remains of a house that was washed away is up the beach a bit.

It seems to have worked.

This is a test to see if my post posts.

Hello fellow bloggers
