Manic Monday

Mondays are my manic day. It is the day I think of all the projects I want to do this week.  Motivation comes out in full force, and I drive myself crazy planning what I will do and make this week. 

So here are some of the things I'm loving for this week.

Damask:  I love it every week, but this week I really love it!!

This is a Waverly Fabric, it is essence in chocolate.  Anyways Joann Fabrics currently has all their Waverly Fabric on sale for 60% off!  I ran in today and ordered 5 yards of this fabric. My home came with these awful red floral print window treatments. I've lived here for 3 years and I've finally decided what I want to replace them with in my dining room.  I'll take a picture and show you later.

This is a stencil currently for sale on Etsy by Maison Stencils.  I love, love the stencils by this etsy seller.  Pricey, but I love them.  Vintage burlap pillow cases are a current fav of mine.  So I've been browsing stencils trying to decide if I am ready to try my hand at it.  (Like I need another project to do)

Here are some of my other favorite stencils by Maison Stencils:

Maybe you are wondering what it is I am actually working on this week.  (Especially since I can't make the drapes until the fabric comes in 2-4 weeks).  First off today, I recovered my piano bench.  The piano itself is from the thrift store. It is an old church piano, from sometime after 1928 (the tag on the bench says the fabric met the safety standards of blah blah blah from 1923)  Anyways the piano, is a little beat up, and could use to be refinished.  I really want to refinish it, but haven't yet gotten up the courage to try a piano. I'm going to start small and work my way up. Eventually the piano will be redone, but for now it works (literally), although the wood tones need some help.

  Tufted headboards fill my dreams!  I absolutely love this green one, I believe it is a headboard by Nieman Marcus, but I can't find the link, sorry.  Anyways I have had the parts of making a tufted headboard since February.  That was the big project I've been planning!  Finally this weekend I was able to get started.  I've been taking photos, and when it is all finished I will post them, and seriously, it should be finished tonight. Unless my son doesn't go to bed as planned.
