Gerry's gone back to the Bahamas so it's time to renovate. This time getting rid of the hideous dusty rose dinette cushions and
valances.
On Mother's Day I cleaned out the wood
box and discovered plywood that would do for the back of 2 of the
cushions. Rudy cut them to size for me (thanks) and let me borrow his
staple gun. I painted the boards to freshen them up and staple gunned
the fabric on to the wood. That just left the bottom cushions for
which I had no wood and I'm too cheap to buy any. I thought about duct tape, for a minute or two
and then realized that I could use the wood that is already there
holding the cushions up. I rounded out the corners and finished the
whole job this afternoon.
Next, valances, couldn't just leave the
windows blank. Took forever to get them down and taking the lovely
gold striping off so putting the fabric on will have to wait until
tomorrow.

Photo doesn't do it justice (blue isn't showing up properly), Gerry has the camera and the ipad doesn't take great photos in low light. Material cost $40 and I have enough to do something over the blinds in the kitchen and cover a throw pillow or 2.
