Feature on Young House Love

Remember our table and chair makeover we posted awhile back? Sherry and John from Young House Love featured it on their Reader Redesign series! We were thrilled to see it up on their blog where we always find so much inspiration. Check it out over here.


In the comments, there were some questions about oilcloth, like what is it, where to get your hands on it, and what else can you do with it? So we'll do our best to answer:

  1. What the heck is oilcloth? It's similar to a vinyl tablecloth that you can buy at the store. Here is wikipedia's version of oilcloth.
  2. Where can I get it? You can sometimes get it at your local fabric store and of course online. We just came across this shop on Etsy that is dedicated to selling oilcloth, check out Oilcloth Addict.
  3. And for what to do with it, let's just say the possibilities are only limited by your imagination! But if you need some helpful ideas, one reader found an awesome site that is all about oilcloth - Oilcloth International and they have a blog featuring fun projects made with it.
Hopefully you enjoyed our short course on oilcloth :) Do you have any ideas on what you would make with it? Please share!

Blog Love

This week City Chic Country Mouse was featured on two wonderful blogs. You must stop by and check them out.

Heather from Gathering Spriggs has a vintage inspired design blog. She is constantly finding the best shops and interior designs with inspiring colors. It's always candy for your eyes when you visit her blog. And she doesn't stop at blogging...


She has two amazing etsy shops as well! Visit Gathering Spriggs for vintage and nature inspired homegoods, art, and more. And to satisfy your love for vintage, stop by Gathering Vintage. It's worth stopping by to enjoy the pictures of the items in her shops, she is an excellent stylist.

We were also mentioned on Quilting on a Budget. And I wondered, why hadn't I come across this blog before? I'm know as being thrifty and love blogs that share this value. Be sure to visit Quilting on a Budget if you enjoy sewing, quilting, being crafty and don't want to break the bank while doing these activities.

We are always amazed by the friendly blogging community, there are so many thoughtful bloggers and readers out there! Thank you all!
