Hubby started to clean under the outside area. It’s been needing it badly. But with constant rain and cold we just couldn’t get into the cleaning mood
I didn’t get any before shots but OMG it was bad. Leaf litter everywhere and soooo much dust
With the blinds up the breeze was lovely and help get ride if the dust as we cleaned
And finally. I’ve made covers for the two chairs. Seriously I’ve had them about 20 years and I’m. It even joking.

I got the free on free cycle and was always going to make covers but I never remembered to measure so get the right amount of material. If even remember to buy any material luckily a friend of Mine gave me a big bag of material so I decided today was the day.
I just layer the fabric in the floor and cut around the cushions
I always save ribbon so I hand sewed them on to be able to tie the cushion in place
And used my plastic snaps to finish off
Not perfect but they’ll do nicely
No more tripping over the crochet blankets I thre over them for a temporary fix lol

Hubby is still going. I’m resting but we have accomplished heaps already today
It will be nice to be able to use this space again
It looks beautiful. I love our outdoor area,and when its chilly we pull the blinds down and light the pot belly.
ReplyDeleteI’ve pulled the blinds down now. It got cold really quick and then we even had some rain. If we stayed outside I would of lit the fire but we decided to come in
DeleteIt looks lovely now. I like how you seized the day and made the covers. They're very cool.
ReplyDeleteDon’t know about seizing the day. It’s been on the to do list for a long time lol
DeleteIt looks cosy for winter and cool and breezy for summer. Perfect for a Melbourne day!
ReplyDeleteNow it’s all nice and clean again. I’ll spend many hours out there. We even have celling fans to help move the air around if it’s muggy. And the fireplace is wonderful on a chilly autumn night
DeleteYour outdoor area looks so inviting. Now you know it's, almost, summer!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn’t know it from the weather. But we live in hope
DeleteWhat a fab indoor outdoor space. We are all more than a bit envious. Yeah the chair thing - F has a bedroom chair like that. It has a perfectly good but perfectly ugly faux leather cover which she has been intending to replace for about 40 years! Yours look nice.
ReplyDeleteCan’t rush these things you know lol
DeleteNice job on those chair covers!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It didn’t even take that long really. Don’t know why I put it off for so long
DeleteNice looking chairs.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
