A bit ago, after reading a post from Amber over at
I was so inspired and decided to search my local Craigs List.
I wasn't looking for anything specific, just something interesting. Here is what I found....
I know that it doesnt look that great, my children have told me, but it was SO cheap.
I really think that there is a lot of potential here. It is a great size, with wonderful lines, the fabric is just yucky. No biggie, it just needs new fabric right? How hard can that be?
Now I must tell you, I have never recovered anything before, ever. But this little love seat seemed like the perfect chance to learn how. I knew that I would need some major help,
Her enthusiasm gave me the extra motivation I needed to charge ahead.
So here is my dilema, I cannot decide what type of fabric to use!?
Part of me, the conservative side, wants to go a very neutral route. Safe and simple, something like this from Crate and Barrel.
But the other side of me is telling me to do something BOLD and fun, something that I wouldn't risk doing on a piece of furniture that cost more than the small amount of cash in my wallet.
Something more like this from Anthropologie.
I know, I know, they are opposite ends of the spectrum. But aren't they both Wonderful?!
The other problem is, that I don't know where in my house the finished product will go.
{I figure that will be determined after I see how well it turns out}
What do you think? I would LOVE your imput!
