It all started with a piece of fabric…

Yes, a beautiful, but discontinued piece of fabric Miss Rose Ann  found some years ago.  She also had a really cool antique chair…

destined to be together

 I just had to refinish it to bring out it’s beauty again

Soooo pretty

 

But wait, we couldn’t just redo the chair and not have a little bit of fun ;)    That piece of fabric was really the inspiration for the rest of the room…

Here is what it looked like before:

In considering how to achieve an updated look for Miss Rose Ann, who, by the way, is a jewel of a woman – there was another inspiration which started decades ago in Kindegarten…and yet more beautiful fabric scraps which happened to coordinate perfectly.

Brother and sisters - all had the same Kindegarten teacher

hold on to your scraps ladies, you never know when they'll come in handy!

I bet you thought you would be seeing “After photos” already… bear with me…

Here is where the children’s kindergarten art became:

artful "facelift"

My symmetry-senses wanted to put Matt’s picture in the middle, but for Rose Ann, they are arranged by age. 

As for the rest of the room – I had just enough fabric leftover from the chair to make two small feather pillows.  But that fabric also inspired the “new” sofa and some handmade curtains…

A solid colored sofa makes it easy to mix in colors!

 

Welcome Home Miss Rose Ann - hope you love it!

We designed the swags and jabots to be asymmetrical and the plaid fabric had all of Rose Ann’s favorite colors mixed right in  - it all coordinates so well with our inspiration fabric.  What do you think?  Hope you love our simple little redesign of Rose Ann’s home!
