Winter Sailing

Ready for another office peek?

~

Opposite side of the room today with a tray 

set for one and a little more sunshine to

brighten this wintry day.

Enjoying dinner on my comfy office couch

that I told you about in yesterday's post.

The furniture in my office was meant to go in the living room

of a rental home on Lake Erie, but instead ended up in 

my storage shed.  Piece by piece, I brought the extra 

furniture inside and found a place for the pieces I couldn't 

bare to part with.  The couch came from a furniture store 

going out of business and was covered with an ugly and

inexpensive fabric.  I reupholstered it in denim using 

coordinating fabrics for the pillows.

The inspiration piece for this room at the lake, and later

in my office, was this beautiful picture of a sailboat I 

acquired from my sister.

 

 

My trayscape is also inspired by the painting and sailboat

theme, from the blue and white boat-shaped bowl, to

the matching homemade napkins.

The dinner plate is a lovely octagonal ironstone plate 

purchased from Goodwill.

The salad plate~ made by Windsor Browne ~

another Goodwill purchase.

 This sweet little boat dish produced by Chantal,

 was a slightly pricier purchase from Goodwill,

but of obvious quality.

The napkins were made from fabric purchased at a thrift

store and the stemware was purchased at a yard sale

last summer.  The lovely white tray was a long

ago purchase for the lake house.

Window treatments are shutters covering the bottom half 

of the window for privacy and a board-mounted valance,

made to match the pillows.

Rounding the corner of the room is my beautiful hutch,

also continuing the sail boat theme ~ but now I'm

getting ahead of myself ~ that's a reveal

for another day.
