Style Scouting: Vol. 227

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

I am writing this post hunkered down under 2 fur throws that are giving me warmth and comfort after coming down with a case of Covid. Ed got sick earlier in the week and said he felt like he did after we got the first Covid vaccine. He had one bad day, but soon was back at it never thinking he had Covid. Turns out he did and then I got it on Friday. No fun, but a mild case.

I am literally looking at the bright side – out the sliding glass doors where a warm, sunny and sparkly 67 degree day lays ahead. I plan to go sit outside to breathe in the fresh air that will most definitely make me feel better. :-).

Before I got sick, I did finish the area where we removed the kitchen cabinets. I will post the reveal this week.

Now onto the inspiring links I found this week.

    Oh, D- I am so sorry to learn you are ill. Covid is the worst. Esp the fever and chills and headache. Get well soon. Sending you virtual homemade bone broth chicken soup and a bouquet of gorgeous tulips. Hang in there, this too shall pass. xxoo

  5. Just wanted to say I always look forward to your style scouting posts. Also, I’ve made decorating mistakes in the past. Ahem, wall to wall cream color carpet next to the garden door. That was the largest.
    Some were more a change of direction. I’d recovered all my dining room chair seats with zebra print fabric. Then I recovered a side chair with an ikat print in blue and white. Loved it and went all in. Redid the dining room chairs (only 4, luckily) and made couch pillows as well. Later, when my adorable three year old granddaughter picked off most of the beading on my ottoman, I re-upholstered that as well.
