The magnificent back stairs sampler wall.
My favorite room in Patti and Mark’s house is their kitchen. It is so cozy and fun and has a beautiful back stair case leading up to the sitting room. This avid reader, traveler, movie goer, bridge player, exercise lover, and great Weight Watchers chef has a desk in there and the cutest powder room with all black and white toile wallpaper and silhouettes , both of her children, and vintage silhouettes. Under her stairs, an adorable room for her dog was planned and Patti has even decorated that. On her back stairs she has a large collection of needlepointed samplers she has done over the past 10 years.
the KITCHEN and BACK STAIRS
From Treglown Designs, this wall hanging is near the back door. Beautiful vintage ribbon from the Ribbonry in Chaparral Needleworks.
A dog house under the stairs was the perfect place for Shelly, the family's Sheltie, to nap. I still miss that dog!
What a smart idea to have the dog's house under the stair landing! Patti needlepointed dog ornaments and put them on a wreath and collected little dog saying and has hung them around the opening of the dog's room. I LOVE this part of Patti's house!
Ornaments designed by Our Faithful Friends and stitched by Faith and Carolyn, were sold as an exclusive series at Chaparral Needleworks several years ago. And unlike many four-footed friends I know, Shelly never chewed or played with the needlepointed ornaments on her wreath. What a good dog!
Patti and Mark's back stair case wall is covered with needlepointed samplers she has done.
From Dream House Ventures, this big Shepherd's Bush sampler was a lot of fun to stitch and is somewhat a sweet Halloween piece!
Close up of the top of the sampler on which Patti added lots of fun buttons and pre-made flowers from the Ribbonry.
Cute bottom of the Dream House Ventures Halloween sampler Patti stitched in my class. She had this sampler made into a wall hanging.
