I warned you that this living room thing would be a slow process. Ha ha!
My husband and I finally got around to rearranging the space. I love it. It just seems to flow. Plus when I’m lounging on the couch I don’t have to worry about people peeking in through the window next to the front door without me realizing it. Yes, people in this state do that. Most Kirby sales people and the housing office people. It’s so rude and annoying, come to my house and you can knock on the door not stare at me through a window till I walk over. Now I just walk over and close the blinds when they do it. Rude maybe, but not as bad as them peeping into my home.
Ok, ranting over. Ha!
I’m slowly……very slowly…..redoing the living room starting with our big ugly brown couch.
It has no back cushion, just big pillows… It was designed that way. I hate it.
My plan is to turn the pillows into large throw pillows and make my own back cushion. To be honest, I would love to recover the entire couch with a better fabric. However, this couch is big and it just do happens to be a sleeper sofa too. So, that being said, my hubby and I decided it would be cheaper and less of a headache to just make a super comfortable back cushion and then cover it with a nice couch cover. Then toss in loads of throw pillows because you can almost never have enough pillows… Well, you can, but still, pillows are amazing.
Here is the start of my project.
I found the how-to from http://www.marthastewart.com. Its her tailored pillows. 🙂
