oilcloth and vintage linen pillows on my porch swing...



I have been hitting the garage sales in my area and one on my favorite finds has been my porch swing. I ordered some oilcloth fabric and vintage tablecloth cutters to make some cozy cottage pillows. I also recovered the cushion with sunbrella fabric in red! This has been a favorite spot on the porch by all of us. We ended up hanging it in as not to lose any seating on the porch! I gained an additional 3 seats this way and we can still have room to pull the table out for alfresco dinners.
Last year I went with pinks on the porch to match for Rebekah's graduation party. I must say I am much happier with my favorite color RED! That is what I had previously and I am so glad it is back for this summer.
Blessings!

Leigh Ann..

Girl you are back! Woohoo! I LOVE THIS. Would you believe I have a porch swing in my garage that I'm not using. I go back and forth between wanting my two wicker chairs or the porch swing. Those pillows are amazing. I stopped at Levis the other day because one of their stores at oilcloth pillows TDF but they were $45.00...whoa too pricey for this thrifty girl.

Some Thursday you should come up and we will go to farmers market together. I have actually been wanting to get to Grand Rapids for awhile to those little stores.
