BURLAP AND LACE

Good morning, everybody!

Today, I am sharing a new, simple project with you all.
Last week I showed you my kitchen decorated for Fall.
If you missed it, here is the link to that post.
Moving on to the kitchen

I have been looking to buy a runner for the island, but couldn't
find anything I really liked.

I have been seeing these runners all over the internet, some of them sell as high as $70,00.

 I really like the look of them now for Fall, but not the price tag, so, I decided to 

try my hand at making one.

As luck has it, I went to HL and Hancock Fabrics are they were out of burlap.

Couldn't believe it!  I guess this is the season for burlap!

Two weeks ago, I finally found some when I wasn't even looking,

 of all places, at Walmart!

This is a very good quality burlap, even better than the one I have been buying at HL.

 I was very surprised, and at only $2.97 a yard! Great price! 

So here is how I used it.

 I used my trusty hem tape. Love it! So, no sewing needed.

But, I did stitched the lace on the runner.

I think this simple project dressed up the counter a little.

I still kept one of my old Fall placemats under the metal basket for a little more color.

Here is a before and after. 

 Still working on decorating my pot rack.

I want to add some basket and may be some dry flowers to it.

More to come on that.

 And here are some pictures of the kitchen, breakfast table and family room 

decorated for Fall.

 I have a lot of extra burlap, so I may make one more runner

for a hall table upstairs.

Thank you for visiting!

Another week starts today! 

Hope is a great one for everybody!
