A New Direction

More Spring in My Yard

More Daffodils popping up.

My neighbor's huge pot of pansies and violas.

My little "White" Red Bud Tree.

This tree makes the perfect Easter tree but spring came early 

and Easter is late this year, 

so I guess it will have leaves on it before I hang eggs all over it.

Usually, it has blooms and eggs.

Of course I am still thinking about dining rooms a lot. Look at that collection of seltzer bottles!

I headed out this morning in search of the perfect fabric for my chairs.

I shopped a couple of places and didn't find anything that really made my heart sing.

I was thinking I'd do neutral.

Something similar to these. 

I really like it when the chairs are a different color than the table but my chairs are the same color.

So that made me feel like the chairs needed to stand out some how.

I came across this house online the other day. You know how I love a tudor.

Hope you aren't sick of them. I am interested in them because they are similar to my house.

I really like this fireplace. Love the little pom poms on the window shades too.

Interesting how this home is decorated in a mix of neutrals, pink and black.

What do you think of this room? I love the black chairs mixed with the white. 

I like the black cabinet but in my opinion it needs to come down on the wall a bit. 

It's too high up. I like these window shades too.

So I searched for fabric this morning and then came home for a little bit. 

I was going to go back out and thought..

"I might as well look online for fabric to get a better idea of what I want."

And then a plan struck me, a marvelous, wonderful plan. 

All of a sudden, I knew what I was going to do. 

I found the perfect fabric online at Fabric.com.

Instead of going back out to search all over the city, I just ordered online.

Ta Da! Done!

I'm going to do something unexpected. 

I can't just do what everyone else does...now can I? 

What is the fun in that?

I do hope the fabric comes quickly. I'm excited about it now.

And this is the fabric I ordered! 

No...not really. 

But it is cute and now I'm wondering why I didn't order a yard to make a pillow or something.

Yes, I need some of this. But this is not what I am covering my chairs in.

Wait till you see! I think it's going to be divine and very Nita-ish!
