Sew Much Fun Decorating

There are so many great things about being a wife, but I must say decorating the home is in the top five when you live in the south!  I have been busy putting all of our wedding presents on display throughout the house in the "perfect" spot for months (some items still have not found their home).   My mother is a ton of help when it comes to decorating and especially sewing....She helped me pick out fabric for curtains/pillows and so graciously put her sewing machine to work!

Here's a sneak peak of the progress so far...

office.

I have added pics to the bulletin board since I took these pics:) My sweet husband is going to build me a padded bench covered in the striped fabric, that will function as a storage box too, under the window....Right, honey? I also hope to make a liner out of the stripes for my baskets!




guest bedroom.

I used this white bedding for my last year of college, and I still LOVE it as much as I do now.  My mother in law looked at me one day and said,  "You really like white don't you?". Yes, yes Mrs. Lisa I do! White is so fresh, and almost everything I pick out is white!  The antique white rod iron bed was my Mama & Daddy's when they first married.  I LOVE antiques and hope to keep this bed in our family forever.  The lace/satin embroidered pillow in the wicker chair is the ring bearer pillow used in our wedding.  Thanks again Mama & Daniel for helping me paint!

 

 

master bedroom.
I must admit it was hard not to do all white/ivory in this room as well, but a little encouragement from Mom to be "young" with my colors inspired the navy, chartreuse, and ivory.  I'm still contemplating which fabric to use for my drapes...leaning towards ivory of course!  Daniel made it very clear that he wasn't going to make the bed because he was afraid he would put the pillows on the wrong way...I'll settle with that excuse!

sweet mom sewing away.
What a precious mother I was given. She is talented in so many ways, and I pray that I am half the mother she is to all of her girls.

I am pleased with the progress so far, however I have so many ideas that I need to put to use soon. Thankful for a husband who tolerates my "i want to do this, ohh look at that..we need to.." and for a mom who helps me bring my ideas to life.
