This is the before fabric, which I believe was from Home Depot,
and this is the after.
I bought the fabric at JoAnn Fabrics from their 45" home decor fabric instead of their outdoor fabric selection.
Black doesn't necessarily shout summer to me, but I liked the vintage look of it and none of their outdoor fabric was speaking to me. I figure if the fabric only lasts one year outside, then I just get to pick out new fabric next year. An added plus is that it was 1/2 the price of the outdoor fabric.
BTW, the chairs are my faux wicker chairs that I bought at Big Lots a few years ago. Maybe weather-resistant is a more becoming term for them.
Speaking of Big Lots, I found this somewhat nautical looking lantern there today. Originally $7.00, but on sale this week for $5.00.
It's made for citronella candles, but you could use any type of candles with it.
And for $5.00, I couldn't leave it there.
I love me some Big Lots.
Wow - I love the new fabric you used to redo your pillows! What a difference a change of fabric can make!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that little red chair and all the beautiful plants surrounding it!
You picked a fun, colorful fabric Pam-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteThe pillow turned out great....when I was a little girl my grandma had an old beat up wicker couch on her porch and guess what... it was black! I kind of like the black look....I have two white real wicker rockers I got at World Market for Mother's Day a few years ago, totally dried out, pieces broken everywhere and can't repair....next time I m going for the resin- faux look too! Yours look brand new! :)
ReplyDeleteWow does this fabric pop!!! I love it Pam!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. Who cares if it's not outdoor if you are like me you will probably tire of the pattern before it wears out. I love it on your set. Great choice!!!
Beautiful fabric choice and the lantern is wonderful. Good deals and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the new fabric and your porch looks wonderful. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fabric choice! As long as your pillows don't get too much sun or moisture, that fabric might last longer than you think! I haven't been to Big Lots in awhile...looks like I need to stop in again! Thanks for sharing your lovely porch!
ReplyDeleteOH- I absolutely LOVE that fabric. I think it is fresh and pretty and looks like summer to me! And that lantern is really cute. I wouldn't have left it there either. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric on your "new" pillows...I think is looks very summery, even if the background is black!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric looks so good with that wicker :)
ReplyDeleteI was just at Big Lots! I will have to go back and see if there are any. That is too cute! Love th red chair it's on too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabric. And lovely lantern; I love lanterns for the deck!
ReplyDeletePam, I love the fabric and the black is gorgeous in it. I also love Big Lots. This week I bought "Core" bamboo products there that are sold on One Kings Lane. I also bought three more bird feeders as if I need more! I wish we could shop there together cause I go by myself. hugs♥O
ReplyDeleteGreat pillows Pam! They make the porch so inviting! I'll be over..
