A simple Project!


A while ago I was given this bench by a friend. I didn't know quite what to do with it and it eventually ended up here in my bedroom.

Then I got this bright idea that I was going to make this duvet cover designed by Heather Bailey but couldn't find 19 different fabrics that coordinated that I loved enough to live with in my room. Then one day I went to DI and found three throw pillows that match the curtains that I bought on clearance at target.

So I put one of the pillows on the chair. It looked pretty good.... Then I remembered my duvet fabric stash.... Then all it took was about 20 minutes and I had recovered the seat of the bench.

Here's what it looks like now! I love it!

That looks so much better. Great job! Have you thought about painting the frame? Maybe a dark Chocolate brown?

Homemaking 101

Does anyone else feel like it's time for a refresher course on homemaking 101? Maybe we should watch a few seasons of Leave it to Beave...
