I sewed a blue floral on yellow valence for the kitchen
Beginning my search for fabric I liked at JoAnn and Hancock, I also shopped at G Street Fabrics near Washington, D.C., as was highly recommended.
Historical Sewing and Time Travels
Beginning my search for fabric I liked at JoAnn and Hancock, I also shopped at G Street Fabrics near Washington, D.C., as was highly recommended.
This time, our Becoming History presentation presented the Gilded Age, while debuting the heroically regal Lafayette golden-green. What a perfect combination.
While prepping to paint the Lafayette color in the our new Virginia house, I had an idea.
Why not name the rooms after Lafayette and his American friends?
Perplexed I looked around…and realized the sunshine was coming from the yellow paint, which had finally overtaken the old cave pink salmon of gloom and doom.
Since the main floor is open-concept, I reached the point of not being sure where I wanted creamy yellow to end and sage green to begin.
Having a lovely collection of tea accessories destined for display, I found a tea green paint chip evoking calm with a touch of happy brightness.
From the first day I saw this neigborhood I exclaimed it was like being in Colonial Williamsburg, and was my favorite neighborhood of any we toured.
For him, that was a happy problem, because he just used that grill on roadside stops to grill his dinners…better than truck stop fare! Hey, a kindred spirit!
Sadly leaving behind perfect furniture in Texas, I was elated to find some lovely French Country options that we needed.
Wanting to replicate my garden themed powder room from Texas, I anticpated the French Country birdhouses and wrought iron for the room.
