It's a celebration!

100th Post!
Come and join us in the White Wednesday fun with Kathleen from Faded Charm.
I didn't always have white in my home, seriously, I once had a different color in each room.
But, I think I always, in the back of my mind knew it was the color I was most drawn to and wanted around me.
Due to rain, this past weekend I spent my days inside, painting with my new chalk paint and sewing new slipcovers. I had a very productive weekend. Not that I don't want the rain to stop one of these days, but I used my time indoors very productively.
The rain has also done wonders in my gardens.
Happy flowers in bloom.
Yeah spring!
The birds have filled all the white houses.
This frame has already been given the WHITE treatment and is now just waiting for a chalkboard insert.

New cushions for my outdoor seating.
I made these with an envelope closure on the back for easy washing, no need to pay for expensive Sunbrella fabric when cheap cotton duck will do.
My favorites are the cushions with the ruffles,
love me some ruffles.

These rainy days also gave me time to do some shopping. I was lucky enough to find a set of 4 chair cushions at TJMax my favorite lunch time shopping store. I think they look great with my vintage wooden folding chairs. Perfect for extra party seating.
White Wednesday was the first link party I ever joined, and even though I can't always join in each week, I always stop by to visit. Seeing all these other bloggers who decorate, appreciate and dare I say LOVE white too, made me feel more normal. Thank you Kathleen for giving us this great Link Party.
Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to let a little white in your life.
I love white too! I don't have as much of it as a lot of folks, but I love seeing it in mags and blogs. I can't get enough! Love your new ruffly covers! Happy WW!

It goes without saying....I love me some white as well. The ruffled cushion....LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteYou have WHITE BLEEDING HEARTS?!? That's AWESOME! Oh, by the way, Alaina--how fabulous is your outdoor seating area??? Perhaps I should hire you to turn my back yard weeds into something fabulous, because obviously you've got THE EYE.
ReplyDeleteI just adore that old white chair in your garden!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW to you!
I agree with Sandi, Alaina! Love that shabby chair in your beautiful garden! And your black & white table set is stunning! :)
