My blogging BFF Bonnie over at Pink Stitches is celebrating her one year blogiversary and she's asked me to participate!

Of course I was delighted to! I made these two pillow covers to give away to one lucky reader!

Her giveaway will begin Monday, January 23 at 8:00 am!

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***

The first is a pillow cover for an 18x18 pillow.

They're sweet little birdies on a wire:

**Inspiration for this pillow from Bless 1234***

The second pillow cover is for a 16x16 pillow.

It's a colorful bunting pillow cover!

I hope you'll stop by for your chance to win!

She will be celebrating all week! I can't wait to see all the amazing things she has planned!

Happy 1-year Bonnie!!

Cheers!

A Chair Fit For A QUEEN!

This chair is another prime example of my decorating ADD. I first refinished this chair into a vibrant blue last October. I loved it - but after I painted the office dark gray, I wasn't feeling the blue with the gray.

I thought a wild pink would look so much better! And it does!

I primed it, then painted it two different shades of pink. I put them on quickly and real sloppy - I didn't want the chair to look "new."

After the paint dried, I made up a glaze with one of the pinks and added a little purple to it. This made it more of a berry color. I used the berry glaze instead of the traditional antiquing glaze. LOVE IT!

Now it's a chair fit for a QUEEN! AKA me! :)

Below you can see the progression of the chair.

I kind of feel bad for the chair right now, because it is dark and rainy, and in a dark grey office. So the lighting doesn't do it justice. Believe me, it looks awesome!
