paint and fabric

as i mentioned a few posts ago, i painted our bedroom recently. here's a pic.

there is a bare wall on Brian's side of the room that i need to fix, but otherwise we're done!

and here's what i did with some of that delicious fabric i bought a couple of weeks ago -

you can't tell in the picture, but the fabric that the pillow is made from has a beautiful woven texture. you also can't tell that there is a gray-blue piping around the edges of the pillow. i ripped it from another set of pillows i made awhile back, the ones i hand-dyed blue from flaxen-colored fabric because i couldn'nt find the color i liked. anyways, if you could see it, it's kind of cool. at least i think.

i also made a couple of small pillows for the two chairs on the front porch. (please pardon the messy porch!)

 what can i say? i'm gaga for color! thankfully in an old house you can pretty much do what you want with color and it isn't frowned upon. sometimes people even think it's cool.
