Kitchen Update: Striped Bench Cushions
| July 16, 2012 | Posted by Jessie under Fabric, Kitchen |
For some reason it seems like we just can’t quit updating the kitchen. After our big overhaul last summer we have made a few tweaks here and there, like making bench seats {parts 1 and 2} for our “new table”, updating the island, adding and painting a rug, etc. I sewed cushions for our kitchen… more

Hey everyone! Happy Friday. I’m enjoying a lazy morning off of work {thank goodness for unused snow days!} and it is wonderful. I do a few plans to be productive-including trying to make a new type of maxi dress and another simple skirt-but other than that, you can find me relaxing today. Anyway, on to… more

After taking in consideration from your thoughts on the two different cushions that will go on our new bench, I decided to go with the piping edge.

Bench Seat from a Table

When we moved our old dining table into the kitchen, we knew we wanted to add some new seating to make it feel more casual and kitchen-like. We bought a couple new end chairs {which you’ll see in the “after” picture}, but we also wanted to build our own bench seats for the sides. The… more

We’re headed to Cincinatti this weekend with some friends to see a concert and of course, shop at Ikea {the closest one to our house-about an hour and a half}. One of the items we will be looking for are the two new chairs that will go on the ends of our kitchen table. I’m… more
