Sack It To ‘Em

I use my burlap sacks as camouflage. 
to hide
unsightly
junk
Here in the laundry room, I have a little shelf that houses supplies but is pretty and screened off with my handy dandy burlap sack hung with a tension rod:
home 053 home 054
home 055
In my pantry I have it just slung over a shelf area (again hiding the not so pretty stuff that happens in life)
home 056
home 002
across from my fireplace – I have a chair that was my grandparents…I love the lines of it…..
here I’ve just stuffed the back cushion into a burlap sack and called it a day.
no sewing involved whatsoever and
I just love it.
burlap slip cover
I’m always on the hunt for more burlap or grain sacks…there will always be a place and use for them here.

I love the graphics on the one on the chair. It has great colors on it. And what a great idea, no sew is always the best way :)

Cool backdrop! I just love the rustic feel grain sacks offer an area, especially on that chair.

Great idea....love the designs on those old burlap sacks. I am thinking of using them as cafe curtains in my kitchen.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my foot stool.
I love how you've used the burlap sacks to screen off certain areas of your house and I like the idea of using the tension rod.
I read some of your other posts and your work space area looks great. You have all of the same type of storage containers I do....old wood boxes...metal containers. I really love that screen!!
Always nice to meet someone else who appreciates "junk"!!

I love these sacks too. I don't have any of my own though - I'm feeling a bit jealous of your collection!!
