It's all in the DEATAILS!

Wow, talk about a gorgeous day here in Massachusetts.....

Not a cloud in the sky,
upper 70's to low 80's.....

So I took this picture of one of my peonies.....

If it were like this all the time, it would be as crowded as LA.

But we only get 2 days like this a year, so don't worry.....

(I don't know why I just wrote don't worry..... most of you don't live around here,

 so you don't give a rat's behind about the weather or the crowding.....jesh)

Anyway.....

Back to the tour of my living room.....

We left off here...

And I threatened  mentioned that I would show you guys details of the room.

Soooooo....

Let's start with the coffee table!!!!!

It's a bench.....

I had it slip covered.......

I paid to have it slip covered.......

Oy, Oy, Oy.....

I didn't know then that I could do slip covers!!!!!

But the nice lady did a good job....

I love the look of a boxed pleat!

Yes, I do!!!!

Yes!! Indeedy!!!!!!!!!

It adds so much style to a piece with very little effort.

(Especially if someone else is doing the sewing!!!!!)

By adding a tape trim to the top, it brings the table to a whole different vibe than the original look.

When it gets dirty from my dainty feet...

(yes, yes, yes!!! I put my feet on the coffee table!!!!!!!)

I throw it in the washing machine and it comes out all clean again!!!!

That's the big advantage of slip covers, although to be perfectly honest....

I slip cover stuff cuz I like the way it looks!

I had the two small arm chairs slip covered in my beloved 

cabbage rose fabric....

I like to add interesting details to the bottom edge of slip covers....

Scallops are fun, especially when I don't have to sew them....

And then I added a little button...

The other chair had large tassels on the back that we had to work around....

So there's a slit through which they can poke.....

The white slipcovers in the room came with the furniture when I bought it from Crate and Barrel. 

The chairs aren't very comfortable, but they were well priced and I like the look of them, and no one sits in the living room but 

ME ME ME!!!

Everyone else gravitates to the family room.

I love the living room the most after surgery.

The couch is comfortable, and I put my feet up on the coffee table/ottoman

and I get high on my pain killers.....

and I look around the room on a really good buzz, thinking to myself.....

I REALLY LOVE THIS ROOM!!!!

Almost makes the rotator cuff surgery worth it....

Almost, 

Just almost.

I wonder what other operations I need.......

Latah, Gatah
