Reclaimed, Restored with HarmonyArt Fabric

Santa Fe has a drove of consignment shops and thrift stores with high end furniture, kitchen wares and an assortment of other household goods. Residents whether permanent or here only part of the year seem to enjoy recycling their belongings and others seem enthralled with other's castoffs. 

Downsizing as we have from almost 1900 square feet to just under 1200 square feet has provided an opportunity to remake what we moved, shed what no longer pleases us and/or takes up too much space. Two chairs Dwight brought from his first marriage have sold at the Consignment Warehouse where two separate women were so excited to each have one.



The above chair was purchased at Barkin Attic, which is one of the two retail stores for the Espanola Humane Society, and recovered by Dori at Danny's Upholstery and Fabrics with the same HarmonyArt fabric Let It Grow that was on the two we released. This chair is so comfy that Dwight has even had a nap while enjoying the comfort of this chair.



And our four mismatched oak chairs my parents bought at an estate sale in Iowa have been refinished. EEK! the price of these chairs has skyrocketed from a mere $50 totally to well over a $1000. However, they do look fabulous! AND my thinking is that this refinishing is the last I will have done in my lifetime. The tablecloth is HarmonyArt fabric Animal Farm which I love.



Our "library" is probably the room that has shrunk the most with our downsizing but we seem to have enough space for what we really want in our library. Here is the "computer table" with chair. The computer when not in use is covered with
HarmonyArt fabric 10 Flowers as is the pillow on the chair. This is one of Harmony's most recent creations and I fell in love with the design as soon as I saw it. It does fit well with the color scheme of this cozy room.

As change, which is inevitable, occurs may we each embrace the opportunity that the change offers and all the while
