I have some bad news!
Tomorrow the Impossible Challenge is over and my bedroom looks exactly the same! :(
Good news my living room is finally getting the updated look I have been going for!! :)
Today I will show you a few things I have been working on and tomorrow I will give you a mini tour. Since, I'm suppose to show you my challenge final progress, my living room will take it's place!
Our ottoman was in need of some serious help!
A combination of milk, glue and who knows else...It was either time to get rid of it or give it an update! And since I don't throw much of anything away! Update it is!
I first unscrewed the legs off...at this point I haven't decided if I would paint them or not
I got some awesome fabric from fabric.com. I got 2 yards for like $8 a yd!
I just wrapped the fabric around the ottoman, and stapled in between the cushions
Turned it over and.....
I'm in LOVE
I decided to not paint the legs. It's hard to tell on the brown rug, but I liked them as is!
I'm so happy with the way it turned out!!
Here are a few other things I have been doing
I'm making pillows with the other fabric I ordered!
Here is a an awesome thrift store find I got for $4!!!
Have a Fabulous Monday!!
I love how the ottoman turned out & the color used for your décor piece.
