It's almost Easter!!! and I'm ready OutOnThaPorch now but I went down a "Rabbit" Trail to get here (Ha Ha - Rabbit Trail - get it ???)    When we finished the deck last October,  the nasty, off white cushions needed recovering and I didn't really know what I wanted to do.   YUK !!!!!! I didn't want a lot of color but we use these A-LOT so it needed to be something I could clean easily. So while relaxing OutOnThePorch one day I kept going back........ Way back........ to the first time I covered these same chairs - It was the 2011 article we did for Southern Lady Magazine in the October/November issue .  The article was about how we changed up my elegant dining room to be a little more casual with painter's drop cloth.  This was my very first experience using painter's drop cloth.  It was also the first time we used the Chenille-It along the edging.

Tools Needed For This Project: 1. Sheet of Plywood (large enough to overhang the table all the way around. I made mine much larger than my table. It hung over 6" all the way around.   2.

Again, make sure you have plenty of fabric to wrap aro...

 Hey Y'all !!!! Wooooo HOOOOOO !!!   It's the first day of Spring ..... FINALLY ....  I've been so hunkered down .... following rules ..... staying home and washing and washing and washing my hands .... This whole Covid crap has been like one of those horrible dreams.  You know the kind .... the ones where you're paralyzed and you can't move - even though you are trying with all your might .... and even though you're screaming as hard as you can ..... nothing is coming out -  but today .... the first day of Spring ..... I finally feel like I'm awake from this nightmare.    So I got me some pansies (I know it's a little late for those) and a couple of lenten roses and added some cheer to my front porch.   My inspiration came from two sources .... One came from my new best friend (she doesn't know she's my new best friend and we've never even met - or spoken for that matter .... but you know how when we're so inspired by someone's posts...
