My favorite season has arrived. Can you tell?
The lace curtains in the living room are gathered with small grapevine wreaths year round. In fall they sport autumnal colors. In late November we will change out the garland and wreaths for pine. In spring/summer with hydrangea or baby’s breath. (Yes I detest the blinds behind them. They were a neccessity in this south facing room to save the piano. If we stay here forever we will replace them with plantation shutters eventually.)
This is another little basket project done. I repurposed a gift basket from the baby shower and made a coffee station for Allen. The kids tend to take his coffee cups and travel mugs to use as regular drink cups and they are not to be found. So, I gathered the mugs, the travel cup, some sugar and creamer and napkins into a basket for two to four to enjoy since that is generally all the coffee that we serve around here.
And finally – a sneak preview of the newly reupholstered couch. I will try to upload some before photos and directions in the next day or so. It was easy-peasy I promise. Stay tuned

Ohhhh, pretty… :o) Autumn is my favorite time of year, too. I especially love the grapevine wreath curtain tiebacks — what a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
It all looks so pretty, Kim! The sofa turned out so nicely! I am curious about the people in the photographs. Are they your relatives?
What gorgeous autumn touches, Kim.
Kim…you are really appeasing the inner nesting mom in me…
I have really wanted to reupholster my couch…I have nothing to lose…it is either do it or dump it..
I like the design…buttons on the back cushions (no prob)
and little wings on the sides and a wood accent across the back.
the thing is…i want it to be leather-like…any suggestions where I can get the material to do this? Mind you I only have 3 weeks till my due date…LOL…
It’s either do stuff like this or drive my dh crazy with my waiting…;o)
Beautiful, Kim!
wow, great job on the couch! Is that leather? I redid my old couch last year, I like how it turned out, but I never thought of doing leather. You never cease to amaze me.
Just beautiful, have a lovely Fall, can’t wait for that baby 🙂
