Quick Fix.

Well, I guess its inevitable; the nights will soon start to draw in and we will all be cosying-up in our living rooms in the evenings, during the coming autumn season.

One thing I always look forward to is lighting our open fire and having scented candles lit to fill the room with their cinnamon fragrance.

We used to pile our fresh logs on the tiled hearth, but as they dried in the warm room, they would often start to become unsteady and would regularly fall from their neat stack. So I decided to give an old apple crate a quick coat of pale pink paint, to use as a log store. It provides a handy spot to stand my candles too!

I have also been digging out my collection of old handmade quilts to add snugness to our sofas - I do hate to be cold!

They are all a bit tatty, just the way I like them, with many having received repairs and patches over the years.

Actually, I can't decide whether to recycle some of them completely......

I've placed two on the back cushions of the two seater sofa and am considering using them up to make covers.......

Do I go for white cushions?......

Or dramatic black?.........

I'm not going to rush into this project, as we have decorating to do this weekend. Our landing needs a repaint and can't be put off any longer......

Hope you are having a great week,
