...out with the old...

I've really wanted new couches since we got married because we've always had hand-me-down couches that I've always covered with blankets because I couldn't stand the sight of them. Finally my wonderful husband let me get some. So here is my new Chair and Couch! :)


 I took the cushion from our OLD love seat (you can see why I had it covered) 
and wanted to make a Dog bed. Here is before...

 Afer : I used extra fleece I had because it was dark and wouldn't show Diamonds hair as much and it soft... they love soft stuff. I just made a slip cover with a big long zipper along the back to I can take it on and off to wash it! It fits like a glove! We'll see if they like it!

 Here is just something fun I wanted to do for us! I love modern paintings!

just a lil paint!

before
after

So I really need to find a way to store all my craft (paints, sewing, art, patterns, you name it!) somewhere better seen and up off the floor! I didn't want to spend a ton so I searched ksl.com for a few days and found 3 bookshelves for only $25 for all 3!! Above is the before and after pictures - lots of sanding and hours of painting! I did a gloss white on all three of them, 1 went in my bedroom and the other 2 in my craft room.

My Craft room before the shelves (awful, still a mess from moving)
TAAADAA! Soooo much better! Still need to finish the rest of the room but this is a huge difference!
