Before and After- Upcycling Vintage Linens

For the past 6 years our "Parlour" has looked like this.  Nice but dark.  So a few weeks ago I decided to make some changes.  With $26 and and some help from my vintage linen collection here are the results.  Looks pretty good - lighter, brighter and less masculine. It was nice to be designing again and to let creativity do its magic.  Hmmm I wonder which room will be next!






This picture shows the table runner I hand fringed and two of my pottery projects.  I hand sewed the vintage doilies onto the pillows.  Vintage linens have a story to tell.
