The Living Room - Part II

Friday was my last true off Friday before school starts. So I took advantage of having the house to myself for the day and worked on The Living Room, a project that has been on my to do list for what feels like forever. The first step in my living room refresh was The Chair. Then, last weekend I made a flower arrangement to "soften" the room.

This past Friday I started off by making five pillows out of two different fabrics to tie the new chair into the style of the rest of the living room. Then the fun work started. I believe I previously mentioned that our furniture was getting a little old. The cushions were very smashed as Vega loves to sit on top of them so, they needed a little TLC. Blake and I pulled all the stuffing out of the back pillows, fluffed the stuffing and re-stuffed the pillows. The difference is amazing - and it did not cost us anything! We are already enjoying our "new" colorful living room!

  1. The pillows look awesome! I can't wait to see them in person! I've been fluffing our pillows on our couches b/c I don't want them to go flat! I'm glad that helped yours!!
