Refashioning a Home

26 years ago, I was married as a young woman.  Over the course of these years, I have lived in 6 places and redecorated my home several times.  With three daughters who are now 14 - 20, the redecorating has included several bedroom makeovers.

My newest interest for home decor is Shabby Chic.  As the reality of my daughters leaving the nest in the next few years materializes, I will for the first time in my life be living alone.  As of now, I want everything to be Shabby Chic.  I have already started sketching some ideas for the kitchen and have been re-doing my bedroom and bath for the last year.

Today, I refashioned a pot holder, and the uniqueness of this project is that the original pot holder was a wedding gift all those years ago.  The crochet picture is the original wedding gift.  The checkered pot holder was a recovering 10 years ago.

The green lacey one at the bottom is the current refashion.
