I completed my first two projects for the new place. I bought a Pillow Cover from Ikea for $8 and stretched it for two projects in the kitchen.

Our new building was built in 1923, there are tons of original details, including the built in display cabinet in the kitchen. One of the boxes I had with me in the car was my collection of Jonathan Adler pieces, I really didn't trust that box with the movers so it came with.

I took the pillow apart and used Velcro to secure it the back, folding in the raw edges so it looks clean. Doesn't it make the white and green vases pop?





We had to buy drapes and I didn't want to spend a whole lot so for the interior panels I bought these. Simple, plain and cheap. So with the left over scrap I put top and bottom trim on the panel using no iron/no sew hem tape.


I used everything but the zipper on that one pillow! Once we get our desk and chair in the kitchen I might redo the chair with another of the same pillow.
