I Love this vignette in my dining room, but, I mean really....for someone who loves color, kinda lacking!!! Sooooooooooo, I found some just plane FUN material, and "got me some color!!"












A cheap, $4. lamp shade and a dollars worth of material....can you say color and FUN!!!
Now, if you are using a "nearly barrel" shade as I did, stay away from straight patterns such as stripes or plaids...it will surly show as crooked.
BUT, if you choose a pattern such as I did, it will just show as completely cool!!!!


A job I completed while watching football. Did not even have to leave the couch!!!

Go, make some fun today!!!!!!!!!!!

Reapholstering An Ottoman.....

We have a footstool that is used all the time, ALL the time. We have changed baby diapers on this stool, used it as a makeshift chair, coffee table, and of course, put our feet on it!

It was indire need of a re-do.......so, after a trip taken with my Mom, Aunt and Daughter a few weeks ago, which ended in some really cool material shopping, I finally tackled said footstool.

Here is the material that I purchased for the re-do

I decided to add 2 inch legs, to replace the slider disc that were previously on the bottom. The legs however did not come in 2 in length, so I commissioned my husband (through some eye batting) to cut the 8 in legs I purchased into the 2 inch ones I needed.

I cut a square of material to the desired size of the top and sewed right sides together the sides to the top. Pulled of old material, put on new, stapled about 100 staples to the bottom of the "box", added stained legs and voile'!!!! Love it!

Here are the results.
