Gossamer furniture? Maybe.

While poking through the internet this morning, I came across this...

My first thought? The monster from Looney Tunes, Gossamer!

As a child, I ♥'d Gossamer! And I would've ♥'d having that ottoman for my bedroom. 

Gust of Sun Winery, Ransomville, NY

This newly renovated tasting room at Gust of Sun Winery has been designed to seat guests in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The floor plan was a bit challenging because the space needed to accommodate different activities such as conferences, small weddings, and a lounge. Shane and Erik Gustafson, owners of Gust of Sun Winery, wanted to keep the space bright and open, yet warm and inviting. The solution? To create small groups of furnishings to create intimate conversational areas, use of barrel tables with a hexagon shaped glass top that can be pushed together to create a longer table when needed, and the use of barrel chairs for their small footprint and flexibility. Reds, oranges, and brown colors were used throughout the space to create warmth while splashes of cool blue and white were used to keep the space light and airy.

If you have the opportunity, stop by Gust of Sun Winery and check out their new tasting room and have a glass of their wonderful wine. I would recommend the Three Westies White Wine...it is absolutely divine! ♥

See something you ♥?

Simple Pillows. Smart Design.

This is a simple, easy breezy way to make designer pillows without a sewing machine and for very little cost.

Placemats! That's right. Fabric placemats make great pillows, all you need to do is find the placemats that have a backing to them. Most department stores carry them and what is even better is that you can buy them individually at a very small cost.

Materials needed:

-seam ripper or scissors
-needle and thread
-placemat
-polyfill stuffing

1. buy your placemats.

Make sure your placements have a backing to them. 

2. using your seam ripper or small scissors, cut a small opening at the bottom of the placemat so that you can stuff your pillow.

3. Stuff your pillow and sew the opening closed with your needle and thread. Keep the stitches small so they aren't as noticeable.

Enjoy your new designer pillows. ♥
