Refresh Renew: Inside and Out

It's spring

and with the 

annual spring cleaning

came the realization that we need

to freshen up 

a few things around here.

Hera Paisley drapery with a tan edge border detail.
Tiebacks are old monogrammed horse brasses on leather.

It's been nearly 11 years 

since we moved into the PH 

and some of the fabrics that I used

to cover or recover furnishings

 have seen a better day.

We spend most of our time 

in the cedar-paneled family room 

and this is where the daily wear and tear

has taken its toll on things.

It's also the hardest room in the house

to photograph because of the paneling

Between the fading and the constant

movement of people, dogs, and cats

it IS time 
to change things out.

This plaid has got to go!

So here are the new fabrics 

that will be moving in.  

A plaid --- yes, a plaid -- surprise, surprise! will replace

the old wool flannel plaid on the two club chairs. 

This new one is a heavy woven that 

will not pill like the old one did.

(At least that's the plan.) 

A velvet animal print --- 
a red and creamy tan panther pattern

 that's super soft and cuddly -- 

will be perfect on some pillows.

Brunschwig & Fils Panthere

A heavy industrial grade woven that will

recover the two six foot long cushions in the bay window

where the dogs lay and watch the world go by. 

Pampered pup in the bay window.

I needed something that would not show the dirt,

and will not catch or snag on big paws and little claws. 

Not exciting, but it should get the job done.

These new fabrics will

coordinate with the RL Hera Paisley

in the room and the tan textural woven

that is on the sofa.

Here they are all together.

May need to find one more fabric

to recover the tufted ottoman. 

It's about ready to go too.

Uh- oh......

HERE it COMES: 

THE DOMINO EFFECT!

Can you relate? :D

Will keep you posted 
as it all comes back together.
