Today there was a definite chill to the air which prompted me to bring out one of my thick knitted cardigans for the supermarket run with little Mason. After we picked up Declan from his Easter hat parade at school we all came home to slightly cool house. Once dinner was on and the warmth from the oven and the smell was wafting through the kitchen, I got the bug as I do to do something.
I had actually contemplated lighting the fire, but lit this little candle instead...much easier, and I changed around the back of the sofa. This iron key I have loved ever since I spied it at Haven & Space when we lived in NSW. I thought it would go with the dark zinc bucket I have here in this little vignette. Here it is below
I love this bucket and have had it for ages. Even the mark that is in the middle of it has added charm. There used to be a long sticker there that I had made to look like an old florists bucket, but as it aged it fell off...shame.There is a reason I am showing you this little display. See the cut work fabric behind it all?
It is a gorgeous old table cloth I have had for years and I am really wanting to cover the other sofa...
Here is a sneak peek. It is just perfect. Anyway, I really want to cover the sofa and want to incorporate this cloth somehow. There is not enough to cover the sofa with, so I am still deciding how to do this best.
I would love to use it to cover the whole thing, but I am a little scared with our two boisterous boys it might get ripped.
I draped it over to see what it looked like and yes, the thought of them playing superman and sticking a little toe through it didn't sit well. So, maybe it will have to be a long lumbar cushion for each sofa.
Oh well, it looked good while the thought was there! It is meant to stay cool like today all weekend so hopefully the creative buzz will stay for a while.Ness xx
