Well we have another room finished, the Dining Room :)
To be honest I was very nervous about the red painted walls, but I really like how the room turned out :)
I was able to bring down 4 of the antique sewing machine cabinets (treadles that I have collected) from the attic and use them as side and corner tables for the dining room.
The china cabinet in the corner, my Mother recently gave me (it was in her home) and it is filled with the Dutch tea sets and dishes she had collected over the years. I will get a closer pic for the next blog post.
Here is the quilted wall-hanging I started a few years ago and was never sure where I would hang it, until recently and now that is finished and hanging in the kitchen :)
Another UFO "grounded"!
We did have minimal damage here in PA from the hurricane and our power was out for 2 days but considering all the devastation I am seeing on the news, we are certainly counting our blessings. My heart goes out to all of those who have lost their homes, suffered damage or who are still without power. Prayer and hugs to all of you.
Best wishes and stitches everyone :)

Gorgeous new dining room! The red looks so inviting, I read somewhere that restaurants use red because they want people to linger. I bet your guests linger anyway! The little quilt is darling!
the dining room looks fabulous. I think red is wonderful for it. Enjoy.
Your new paint is wonderful...such a welcoming room!
Sure glad all is well after the storm.
Everything looks great! I love your dutch wall hanging. So sweet.
I love treadle machines and also the way you've put them to use right there in the dining room.
Your room looks so cozy and all the quilts and vintage machines there add to make a welcome feeling. Glad you chose red. I'm trying to decide on a second color for the living room. Your boldness with red has pushed me off the fence to choose a warmer, brighter Arizona color for my house.
Your quilts are stunning! And the dining room is beautiful. I'm so glad that you and family are safe and well after the hurricane.
Your house looks wonderful! You have a special talent for decorating.
I love the red too! Your furnishings and the quilt on the wall are all very gorgeous.
Looks great, I really like the red walls. I have been thinking about red in one of my living rooms and a deep green in the other. I like warm colors...even in the summer it seems like warm colored rooms feel cooler to me!
Your dining room looks warm and inviting Tammy! Love it! 8-)
Love your windmill wall-quilt! I have plans to make that one... one day... 8-)
