My Frenchy Table Runner

Now I love burlap don't get me wrong, hey doesn't everyone? But my dark walnut table top looked washed out with my burlap table runner, brown on brown just didn't pop. So what's a girl to do? Why break out the trusty sewing machine and make like Betsy Ross of course! I contemplated making my new runner out of..you guessed it 'drop cloth'. But I opted for onasburg instead. It has a nubby texture and is a little softer and more refined than drop cloth. I measured the length of my table  and made allowances for a five inch doubled ruffle on each end. I also doubled the runner itself to give it more body. I  added a Frenchy graphic from where else...Graphic Fairy. Here's the completed runner.

You can see my bucket handles from my new Farm House Light Fixture hanging down. 

Here's the old burlap runner.

It wasn't bad I just wanted a lighter touch.

Yep, I like it!

So what's up next? Hmmm...maybe the ceiling??? Stay tuned.

Til then....Teresa
