Yesterday I took back beddding for Debbie’s amazing bed. She had the White Euro pillows in the back. I made 3 standard shams with piping out of the brown toile. The large check bolster, I had to line because the fabric was so thin, which worked out great for the 1.5″ ruffle on the ends of it.

She wanted something out of the blue stripe just to tie in the footstool covers that I made for the end of the bed. So I decided to do a boxed round pillow…which felt a little masculine for the bed, so I added about 7 layers of circles of the fabric and tufted it in the middle with a covered button. So it kind of looks like a rosette or flower.

She told me that she had seen these footwarmers everywhere, and wanted one for the end of the bed. This is the first time I’d ever heard of a footwarmer. Basically it’s a mini duvet that’s only about 48″ tall by 98″ wide that you drape on the end of the bed. We went with a 3″ ruffle on the edges. She bought all her fabrics off http://www.fabric.com/

I ran piping down the seams on the footwarmer to finish it off where it had to be pieced. the back is out of the brown check, so she can always flip it over if she wants a change.

The footstools were from a consignment store,  which had navy blue upholstry on them. I made a little slipcover for both of them and ended the bottom with pipng so the wood legs could show.

Her room turned out amazing!!! We also slipcovered a couch for her bedroom out of the brown toile, which she decided to hold off on moving out of her family room until her new couch arrives in a few weeks. So when I go back I’ll take pics of it then.

This loveseat was for my client that was redoing her basement and turning it into a playroom. She got her fabric from Ikea. She said it was such a random crazy pattern, that she didn’t think it needed to be matched up….but I couldn’t help myself, I pattern matched the seat cushions to the back cushions (mountain continues).

She chose the no skirt option, so we just ended it with piping. I think the kids will love it!

So last week my dad was in town and wanted to know if we wanted help on a project….uh yes the deck at the cabin needed some serious help.

About 4 months ago I found a great deal on composite decking on ksl.com, so I borrowed the neighbors trailer, packed up the kids drove 1.5 hrs to Brigham city to pick it up….by myself because Heber didn’t want to think about the deck yet. I hate when he’s right, that was the worst day. It took 2.5 hrs to load it and figure out how to tie it down correctly.

When we were about 25 miles from the cabin I hear a loud pop, it’s almost completely dark, it’s cold. I pull over to check it out. I have a flat tire on the borrowed trailer. Good thing they insisted on sending me with the spare tire. Only problem, I have never changed a tire before. No worries, I flagged down anyone that would stop. A nice gentleman helped me out and changed the tire after he drove back home to get some more tools.

Let’s just say I left my house at 3:30pm and arrived at the cabin at 10:30pm….next time I will happily pay the delivery fee.

My dad and the boys working on the demo. Check out all that dry rot!

Here are my oldest two boys with my dad. They worked hard and we finished the demo in 2.5 hrs.

Even Luke got in on the demo fun.

The boys helped carry the new supplies up our 26 stairs.

The deck being reframed with some new joists

Here is a pic of the whole family, everyone helped lay the new deck.

Half way done.

Mostly finished …we still need to do some trim work. The handrail and the lower deck are going to be next years project.
