Mini Makeover

I've been in desperate need

of some new pillow covers for my

living room, it's amazing what a two

year old can do to your furnishings.

I went with something green

and summery that goes well with the fern

prints I have hanging above my sofa.

I also made a matching valance for the kitchen.

Our kitchen and living area are one TINY

open space so I wanted to keep it cohesive.

This window has been

naked for the past year, and I finally

whipped up this valance. 1 hour and $6

dollars later, I can't believe it took me

so long to get around to!

I also made this "EAT" sign, I've seen

so many of them and decided that this

little wall was the perfect spot for it!

All in all I spent only $30 for four pillows,

the valance, and EAT sign, and it made this rental

finally feel so much more like a home!

just turned a set of these chairs...

into these beauties!!

Check out her BLOG for an amazing

step by step tutorial.

Now I need to find an inexpensive chair

and inexpensive fabric and see if I can

manage to turn it into something half

as stunning!

Wouldn't it be nice...

to do laundry in a room that was as

pretty as this:

It's not too over-the-top for a laundry room

but it's SOOO much prettier than mine.

And that mirror is an old door, genius!

...One day I guess...
