Saturday, October 25th happenings

Coffee Slingers at 1015 North Broadway. Fun times to be had by all. My Tyler is playing with Mr. Wilson and they have some new songs that Wes wrote. Tyler Hopkins is a great songwriter, a hilarious individual and Tyler's friend since childhood.

The folks behind the counter make some really great coffee. With temperatures dipping into the 30s, I think it is definitely time for some warm beverages to be imbibed.


The Oklahoma City Ghouls Gone Wild Parade is this Saturday night too. It starts at 11th and N. Walker and goes by the "Field of Screams". (Across from the downtown YMCA) We didn't get to go last year. Really pumped about seeing this guy.

Hooray for Halloween, cooler weather, good music, great friends and a wonderful Saturday night!

OU / Texas Weekend

Like a blanket for wood flooring

Really liking this one from West Elm...almost made enough from the yard sale to get it.

Upholstery Daydreams

The majority of our furniture is vintage or antique. Come to think of it, the "youngest" furniture we have are two 1960's Bertoia Diamond chairs we found in the attic at my families garden center!

So, it can be assumed that our finds from flea markets, estate sales and our ancestors might need a little paint here and a new upholstery job there. Today I'm going to cover the shade for my grandmother VK's alabaster lamp


with this Amy Butler print Midwest Modern Martini in Mustard


Our dining room chairs

are getting updated with this discontinued Laurie Smith pattern I found at Hancocks for a super great deal. It's pretty bold, but I think it will work the the yellow that is in our light fixture.


My grandmothers gold, feather stuffed extra long and extra comfy couch


I'm going to make a slipcover for the frame in Montego Hemp Bamboo


and the cushions will be upholstered in Amy Butler Nigella Twill Grandflora in Nickel

And a chair that I originally bought on half price day at an estate sale, then a year later sold to my dear friend Jessica, then last weekend purchased back from her (due to her moving to Alaska!)

will finally get a new look with Anna's Drawing Room Volumes in Gold

All of the fabric I found on Fabric.com, with the exception of the Laurie Smith print. They have a great selection and you can order swatches on most prints!

I can bring you an "after" picture of the lamp shade soon enough, but the others will take a little time and some money. Have a fabulous day! Smiles!
