Chez Larson: Another project down...lots to go

I finally re-covered my antique footstool with my new "firebird" design. I think he looks pretty good! As promised here are a few pictures.

Here' the original (or what's left of it) needlepoint version that was my inspiration.The original cushion was filled with horsehair and now my floor is covered in horsehair. Yuc. You can just make out the bird detail in the middle of the piece. I simplified mine to be a bit more modern and clean.

What about you - any projects planned for the weekend?

Gender-Neutral Nursery Project

I'm having a blast working on a scheme for a friend's Nursery. She wants something gender-neutral, calm and a little modern. She's expecting twins so she'll need all the calm she can get!

We are going for a restful pallette of toned blues and chocolate brown.

Stay tuned for progress.
