So much has happened in the last week that it all seems so crazy looking back on it. My husband and I have started a huge important "next chapter" in our life; becoming home owners. Be vawwy, vawwy, patient, we're hunting houses (like Elmer Fud may say).
It's safe to say, not only do we need a house to fulfill the bare necessities of life, but I need one to open up new opportunities for projects! I've recently become addicted to thrift stores; spending a max of 50 green ones on a gazillion pieces that have endless possibilities! Just to name two of the MANY:
OTTOMAN: ($5 dollars) Found a small circular ottoman that I would have liked when I was in college because it was bright pink and orange, but the cord fabric had seen better days. It cost me $5 for that, took it home, and reupholstered it. When I removed the old fabric, I cut it so that I could use it as a pattern for the new fabric I was going to put on it. I left an 1.5 inch extra fabric to be able to create seems and tuck it under the bottom. The ottoman turned out like a charm. It has sweet little chrome legs that give it a modern touch. All in all, it was about a $10 project. Can't beat that! Wish I had a before picture for y'all, but I was so anxious to get the piece started, taking pictures wasn't the first thing that came to mind!
PICTURE FRAMES: ($3, $1 each, bought 3) Picture frames have endless possibilities! I painted mine a celery green. A friend of mine is having a baby girl who's room colors are pink and green. I thought they would be a perfect addition to the babies room and add a bit of design and functionality at the same time.
