I feel like I started this series so long ago and I assumed it would only be a few months until I had to change the name to “Home Sweet Home”. Finally, after almost 5 months, it looks like escrow will close in the next week… probably when I’m in China! I’m so excited to move in and have a permanent home for awhile.
I realized, with escrow closing soon and selling my old couch after I sold my home, I would need a new couch! Best place to look… Craigslist! I found a perfect couch for $75! Funny thing is after a little bit of Facebook stalking (from both parties:), the seller and I have a mutual friend and we go to the same church. Small world! She bought the couch with the intention to recover it but then found another one that didn’t need to be recovered. My plan… to recover it! I love the style of the couch but the colors and condition of the fabric aren’t great. My friend and interior designer, Kelly Lafosse, came up with the idea of red and pink. What do you think? Red couch, pink piping or pink couch, red piping? Decisions, decisions! I’m really excited to get it recovered and I will be sure to post the final results.
Here it is now… sitting in my parents garage. Please excuse all the stuff behind it… more of my things waiting to go home. =)
The plan is to make it one solid cushion instead of three seperate ones.
Some of the details…
A few fun finds from HomeGoods. Love that store!
This is a candle holder OR a giant coaster. =)
