INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAYS and OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY!

and

I am also joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday #22.
I just found it..what a great idea!!

My Inspiration is from Tina at Cherry Hill Cottage




My inspiration came from Tina at Cherry Hill Cottage . She had her little porch swing all dolled up painted in RED and cute pillows tossed on it. I adopted this house when I moved in with John... the yard was a disaster....we are working on it slowly but surely. This swing was tossed aside and the canopy was missing (later found out the gardener took it to the dumpster). I wasn't ging to let that stop me..I knew I could make this ugly duckling pretty again. It sat around for over a year until I saw Tina's swing..that was it!! The next thing I knew, I was painting it red and making pillows for it. These were all of 10 minute pillows out of dish towels I found today at Ross. I will make some cuter ones when I have more time. So there you have it...my first INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY project.

Thanks Tina!!

Please join me in my first INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAYS and show us what has inspired you.
Just add your name to Mr. Linky and then comment on this post. Can't wait to see wht everyone has come up with.

Warm Hugs,
Linda

  8. Tina has inspired a lot of bloggers, it seems, me included. Her bedroom was the inspiration for my recent re-do of MY bedroom.
    I actually would like to BE Tina but since I can't, I would like to have my whole house just like hers!! lol I even made her Chocolate Cobbler last night for dessert.

  14. Hello, Just wanted to say your swing/bench looks real comfortable to sit or even lie on :-) And the little birdie on top of the red plate is a cutie! :-)

    Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

  15. Linda,
    I love Cherry Hill Cottage and you did a great job with your own version of the design. You did a fantastic job breathing life into that discarded swing. I love it RED! Cathy
