Country Chic Ruffled drop cloth cushions




                  This has been a very busy week with the kitchen renos  and all
           so finally the reveal of my Country Chic Ruffled drop cloth cushions.


They turned out amazing...............










They give my antique table and chairs the Chic look they needed.

Remember the old cushion covers I made here. They worked  well with the red toile curtains, but I was ready for a change.

New Kitchen , New Cushions!!!!!!!.

These incredible looking cushions made of drop cloth have just the amount of weight
needed to for the  skirt to hang just right.







My kitchen table set  is more than 90 years old. We purchased this table and chair set through a
friend of my father-in law for a mere $20.00. That's some 40 years ago.

For many years this table and chairs were in my dining room. We have had many gatherings over
years on this table.

When we moved to the country 21 years ago this table and chairs moved to the kitchen.

But you know how you want change, well I wanted a harvest table.............

Mr WWH never wanted a change so here it sits in my kitchen .

I'm glad I took his advice and we kept this set.





















Notice I hung my giant bread board....... Has the same patina as my table....




What are your thoughts...........


                                 Have a great day!!

                                 Thanks for visiting!!

Country Chic Ruffled Drop Cloth Chair Cushions




                                Welcome Friends!



One down Three to go............

Curious!!

Well since I'm renovating the kitchen I thought that it was appropriate

to change up my kitchen chair cushions............

Remember these red checked ones that I made a few years back and gave a
tutorial, well............


Here are my new ones................









I made them with so that a cushion can go inside and made an easy exit for when I needed

to toss them in to be washed.









I love how drop cloth hangs.

















I gave then a 8" ruffle all around the three sides and left the back plain.








As you see my chairs don't allow for a drop at the back  because they are very antique spindle pressbacks.













The tie backs are made with muslin and are 3" wide.

Muslin is a lighter fabric and makes for easy ties.



Here's the underside.............








                      I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!!!  







I'm in the process of putting together a tutorial within  the week

Be sure to drop back!!.

                                      Thanks for visiting!
