We had two old upholstered cane chairs and decided it was time for some renewal. BEFORE They were painted BM Cloud White and we had them professionally recovered in buffalo-check fabric I purchased at Joanne Fabrics. The upholsterer was quite proud of how he matched the checks in his tufting. I do love buffalo checks and anything in BLUE! Right now we have them in our dining room for extra seating, but they also can be used in our family room downstairs.

I seem to be quite enamoured with silver these days. Last year we purchased a silver and mirrored cabinet. I accessorized it with a brushed silver framed mirror, mercury glass candlesticks and a pewter pheasant, resulting in a basically silver vignette. We already had the  butterfly art. In April, I saw these silver sconces at Z Gallerie, (one of my favourite stores!) and thought they might be a nice addition to the wall above the sofa. I also added a pillow from Dillards…more silver accents! What think ye?…too much silver?

We have had this clock for a couple months. A few days ago our Grandson was here and while we were having a cup of tea he said that every time he looks at that clock, he gets annoyed. Neither my hubby or I had noticed anything wrong, but we weren't very observant. Can you see the problem ??? (I'll post the answer tomorrow.)
