Ticking Stripe Sofas

I have a small hand-me-down settee in desperate need of a makeover. Right now I have a piece of fabric tossed over it to hide some of the heinous 90's burgundy, navy and hunter green postcard-print upholstery. Yeah. As usual, I won't have a ton of cash to spend on the project, so I'm thinking a simple ticking stripe might be the answer.


How cute are these two ticking stripe sofas? The welt on this one seems to have been cut on the bias. Fun!

Playing Pretend

If I lived here ...


I would have breakfast and coffee here ...


While Elliot toddled around wearing this ...


And we would hang out with friends and family here ...


And I would wear this watch ...


With this scarf ...


And then I would tinker around in this garden ...


Before having sweet dreams here. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Summer is ...

Trips down a dirt road for farm-visiting ...


Blueberry-eating ...


Front-porch sitting ...


Peach cobbler making ...


New-swing swinging. What are you up to, these early summer days?
