Home Tour Featuring Old Lake George Decor

Customer service is a big part of my business. It is also the part I enjoy the most. Okay, customer service and fabric shopping tie for most enjoyable. 🙂

With Etsy, if you like something in my shop but don’t see a size you need or if you would like to have something customized, there is the option of sending me a “conversation” so we can work together.

I have made several pillow covers, a table runner and coasters for a customer from Michigan. Then they sent me a conversation asking if I could make them a custom bench seat cushion.

Of course! was my immediate response.

It was so fun to make something different and stretch my sewing skills.

I heard from Justin last week that they had received the bench seat cushion and how much they were enjoying it!

I was so happy they were happy.

Justin also sent a picture showing where they had put the seat cushion.

How cute is that! They picked a four inch foam cushion with blue and white cotton ticking stripe fabric that had matching piping around the edges and a zipper on the back.

But wait…what really caught my eye was the antique level they hung on the wall as a place to hang their coats. How cute it THAT!

So I got to thinking. I wonder how the pillow covers look and the table runner they wanted for their 9 foot French farmhouse dining table?

I contacted Justin to ask if he could send me pictures of the other items they had purchased.

He graciously agreed.

And attached this note with the pictures.

Hi Wendy, Sure you are welcome to blog about us if you like 🙂 We recently moved into our house in March and had Claire in June. We live in Birmingham, MI, a suburb of Metro Detroit. Julie is an OBGYN and I’m an engineer in the auto industry. We’ve been rushing to get everything ready for Claire’s arrival and to get the finishing touches done. We’re very busy, so we really appreciate the ability to work remotely with you. Have placed several orders already, it’s great to have a source that we can trust. My wife and I both work and are busy with daily activities. Your quick support has been a great help. Let us know if you’d like any more specifics! Have a great day!

JT, Julie and Claire 🙂

Justin and Julie designed and decorated these rooms themselves. Beautiful. Job well done!

And that safe as a coffee table…speechless.

Thank you Justin for sharing.  🙂

Careful If You Visit My House

Careful If You Visit My House

My Mom thought she was coming to visit this week.

What she didn’t know is that I needed help making a custom bench seat cushion cover. A 60×15 inch double blue ticking stripe fabric seat cover with piping. It took us 2 days but let me tell you, It.Is.Beautiful. I can’t share a picture because it is for a customer but we had many high fives when that baby was done.

After we were finished praising ourselves we moved on to decorating the house for Christmas. Yep Christmas. Skipped right over Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Spencer is coming today to photograph the house for the Christmas season. Hmmm, I guess I could take everything down and put the fall items back up. Bahahaha who am I kidding. That will never happen.  🙂

Spencer is also going to finish shooting the house tour. We have the guest bedroom and our master bedroom and bath left to tour. I will share those pictures within the next couple of weeks.

I did manage to make a cute little clock this week. My Mom brought me a large pine cone from Northern California. It has been in our family for over 60 years. Some people pass down antique furniture, jewelry or even estates. Our family passes down pine cones. 🙂

The huge pine cone needed a little buddy so I made this 3″ clock.

I bought this kit from Hobby Lobby.

I cut a 3″ oak tree branch slice and drilled a hole thru it for the clock piece. I then put a generous coat of Mod Podge on it.

After the slice dried, the clock kit piece was inserted thru the pre- drilled hole.

The hands were then screwed on and the time was set. I tossed one AA battery in the back and done. TIck tock, tick tock.

Super easy, super cute.

Tomorrow I will show you how Samantha’s new bedroom was decorated. It’s super cute too. 🙂

Have a great weekend,

Wendy
