The gardens and house is just beautiful and I love your style especially the Halloween and Easter decorating that you put together. The kitchen, dining room, living room...wow, really comfortable looking and serene. I'm trying to get up the ambition to make two slipcovers myself. I know I am supposed to make test covers out of muslin first. Oh, my gosh, what a lot of work! Thank you for the nice visit.<br />GineneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952096733672399489.post-14156991144160770662014-07-06T10:14:54.187-04:002014-07-06T10:14:54.187-04:00Beautiful home.

We just moved to Middle Tennessee and are building our dream home.<br />I too want the white shabby chic style to resonate throughout my new home. Just adore your decorating.<br />I am new to sewing (although I sew and sell yoga clothes) but I want to make slip covers for a couple of furnishing I have. Did you use patterns? Kind of nipped and tucked along the way? Did you find it difficult?<br />Thanks for sharing.
