I love this bulletin board idea that my mom sent me. We are thinking of making these for the booth.
The burlap table skirt below gives a soft touch to this sitting area without looking too traditional. You could just buy burlap and do it yourself.
[via Cottage Living]Don't want to DIY? Pottery Barn has these skirts on sale right now.

[via Vintageweave Interiors]I adore these burlap basket liners Pottery Barn is selling. They change the whole feel of the basket. They are sold in sets of three-- imagine a console table with three baskets lined at the bottom filled with coral or books or some other treasure.
[via Pottery Barn]Burlap pillows come in every shape from square to bolster to round. I love this one with an ampersand from the Petit Coterie site on etsy. (I heart etsy as well, but that's a whole different story.)
[via Petit Coterie]In my search for more burlap, I came across a great post from Brooke at Velvet & Linen. Check out the incredible burlap headboards and bench she and her husband made for one of their clients. Such talent!
[via Velvet & Linen]What is your reaction to burlap being used in the home?

I am so ahead of the curve! I have had my fringed burlap tablecloth in the living room for years. (From Ballards) I did add burlap curtains to my sewing room - they provide a great backdrop for Berta, my antique mannequin.
ReplyDeleteBurlap is very cheap so it would be perfect for your first sewing project. By the way, I hear Paige is halfway through her "Sewing for Dummie" book.
Ashley - so glad I remembered your blog after seeing it on FB...since I am hard at work decorating our craftsman style house, it is great to see these entries! Burlap Napkin rings are cool too...there are some on etsy, and I bought the materials to make some like these (as a gift), but I haven't yet. http://mayamade.blogspot.com/2009/11/simple-gifts-monogrammed-napkin-ring-in.html
ReplyDeleteBTW, I also got a Brother sewing machine for Christmas, and I am slowly diving into the new hobby!
Kelly! I love that idea. So fun to connect on here. I would love to see some of your projects. Maybe I could do a featured post? I am always looking for new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI believe we are neighbors, so perhaps we could sew together!
