First, was a little skirt on my desk. I am tired of looking at the junk and wires underneath, and unfinished baseboard...So instead of cleaning it up, I decided to hide it! I made a little skirt and attached it to an spring rod, with clip on rings. (this way, I didn't have to be exact with my measurements, and could adjust the length....did I mention I was a lazy project doer too:) I used left over drop cloth, and fabric from the upholstered inserts of my dining room chairs (I don't think I ever posted that project....will have to do that to:)
Here is the result.
Before, when you look down the galley into my little office.
After the skirt.... Forgive the photography, I snapped these this morning before good "light".
much better...notice the skirt is gone on the chair..I destroyed it in the wash (oh, vell:) |
Love my new hiding place for junk:) And hides the fact I haven't painted the baseboard:) Oh, and that painting, is another masterpiece of my mother's. I love them over my desk. |
very sad. |
Much better....the chair is much happier. (Mr. O and My little man might think otherwise...they think pillows have a special place on the floor! |
I had some left over dupioni silk hanging around begging to be used....I think this view is pretty too, no? |
Happy Monday.

Wonderful little perk-ups. I so wish I could sew! I need to get on that immediately. Can't wait to see your luncheon!
The skirt is wonderful and the pillows are fabulous. Love your fabric choices. Hugs, Marty
LOVE the two-fabric pillow look...gorgeous touch! And I actually DO know how to sew a pillow together, so maybe that's a little DIY project I could to my ever-trying-to-decorate-my-house project. Love them and the skirt idea, too!
I can't believe you just whipped those pillows up! They are gorgeous - and do add a happy little punch to the sofa.
Wish I was coming for lunch!

so pretty!
Okay..Who sews standing up?! You must be VERY talented-I can't sew at all! I like how you added the silk on the back-where do you live in Columbia?
great fabric on those pillows! {i bow to the pillow wiz!} ;) and i must say.. girl, i am so envious of those subway tiles in your kitchen!! :P
What time is lunch? If I were next door, I would be at your door in a jiffy to see what you were "whipping" up.

Love the skirt on the desk, the pillows are yummy too...especially with the gorgeous silk backs! Entertaining is the surest way to freshening up a place. Enjoy your girlfriend luncheon!
