Small Changes
In the spring I gave you a small glimpse of our bedroom reading area. We had those floral swags for many years, and although the style was dated, I still loved the Laura Ashley fabric named ‘Wisteria”. Beside our recently recovered wing chair was a round bar table, which was given to me long ago, and it was okay if covered by a cloth.
When we were in Blackduck, Mn., visiting friends in October, I visited a fabric outlet store, and found another fabric I liked…Aviary Robin by Duralee. The price was right and the bolt held just enough for the 4 panels I needed. Sold!
Off to my friend for sewing, and a week later we had a new look.
We also purchased a small table from IKEA which is just large enough for a lamp and our clock.
My talented friend also sewed shams and a runner for our dresser.
A close-up of the fabric:
My sister in law, also a lovely seamstress, sewed cream-colored cushions from remnants bought at the same fabric outlet…$2.00 per pound!
On another note….
I am including a picture of the dried hydrangeas in our bathroom. I think they compliment the lavender bottles and shower curtain so well….

Wish I had a seamstress in my corner! :)
So nice to meet another fellow Canadian blogger!
All of your 'small changes' really made big differences in your new bedroom; love the pillows! I think we may have the same wall colour in our bedroom! I love this soft, pale blue in bedrooms; find it so serene.
Thanks for visiting Poppy View!

I so enjoyed visiting today even though it is from a small technical box (lol) The fabric you selected is gorgeous and the birds are just perfect. The throw cusion that she made for you matches perfect.
I miss my big hydrangea tree out front, however I took some in for display this year also. I don't have any lavender bottles quite so nice. Enjoy your day
Thanks so much for your recent visit to my Latest finds post. I appreciate the comment.
Your photos with the purple bottles is GORGEOUS! Wow!
Happy Halloween!
