Recently we painted our breakfast nook. I wanted it to look airy and bright so we chose white for the walls above the chair rail and a terracotta of sorts for below. I wanted the paint below to match my furniture. I think it comes close.
This is the view from the living room into the breakfast nook.
I decided that four of those same blocks would make a beautiful valance.
You can see the lovely sunshine coming in the window with a view to our back garden.
With the scraps left over I made a couple of place mats for our table.
Now I love to be in my nook. It is relaxing and refreshing. Just makes me feel good all over.
Often I choose to sign wall pieces instead of adding a label.
N.A.Fogg Creation just about says it all.
Just so you will "see" what we see from our little breakfast nook window, here is a picture with the Red Japanese Maple, the Green Japanese Maple, the Yellow-Twig Dogwood, and the Pink Loropetalum. The landscape has the same palette as my project -- or, perhaps, it is better to say that my project has the same palette as the landscape.
It's lovely, Sandi. Love your idea of using these blocks for a valance! Are they quilted, too?
ReplyDeleteYes, Gayle, they are made exactly the same way as the wall hanging.
Deletevery nice- what a clever idea and your garden looks just great.

DeleteWow Sandi you did wonderful. It looks perfect...I can see an early morning in the nook...A late afternoon tea in the nook....oh very inviting....
