Vintage Barkcloth Orgy

I have a weakness for vintage barkcloth.

I have a weakness for vintage barkcloth.

I have a weakness 

for

 vintage barkcloth!!!!!

I wish they (whoever THEY are) would still make it.

It tends to be pricey, buying it by the bits and pieces, the way most folks sell it on ebay.

I am VERY PARTIAL to florals.

(You may not have noticed.)

(If you've been sleeping)

On Sunday, I started off showing everyone my little study that sits across the hall from my master bedroom.....

I left off at the point where I was talking about covering the seat cushions on my pair of painted bergere chairs.

I wanted them to be in this wonderful floral with a blue background.

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FABRIC FOR TWO CUSHIONS!!!!

OH NO!?!?!

WHAT TO DO?!?!?

So I covered one side in another fabric, so now I can have two different looks!

(If I want to, which I don't...)

I had enough of the blue to use for the side boxing, so that was a 

good

thing!!!!!

 

The blue is the way I want to go, 

yep!

So now, the problem was.....

The first trim I used for the skirt, was not the best match with the blue background.

It was a little too much to the red side of the color wheel.

If you don't know what I'm talking about.....

BUY MY BOOK!!!!!

So, I used the other trim for the second chair, and can't decide if I like the quirkyness of having two different trims, or if I should change the first skirt to the trim of the second skirt.....

It's funkier with the tassels.

I took off the pom poms where the tape pleated under, so that it could lie as flat as possible.

Knowing me.....

I WILL LIVE WITH IT THIS WAY FOR 

20 MORE YEARS!!!!

Because, after a while, (if I wait long enough) I don't see it anymore.

I've been know to have a pile of horse blankets

(yes, from my horse)

lie in a corner of my living room for months on end.

And when I say months.....

I may actually mean a year........

oops......

I know this is a short post, but I have a headache, 

or as the little girl who used to live across the street from me in Watertown used to say

 a "head egg".

So on Thursday, I will show you guys how I took this room from a blue and white scheme to one full of different colors and flowers.

Till then,
