Family Room makeover (mini)


This is what my family room looked like before, a little too much red and too much brown and I was getting sick of looking at so much red. I think it's a great accent color, but primary needed a change.


And this poor sad chair and it's drabby cushions had seen it's last days.

I found this gorgeous fabric at IKEA awhile back. It's the kind of fabric you get goosebumps over. I loved it so much and have not (until now) had the heart to cut up the fabric. Just so beautiful. But this was deserving of such fabric.

Ta-da!



The cushions had some pretty new pillows made and the old cushion covers put back on (and cleaned) Yes, it's a tiny makeover, but a refreshing break to the way it was. Ahhh, much better.

LOVE those little lovelies that a Mom at home can do to keep things cheery in her castle. I have a couch and love seat that used to be cream colored and is in desperate need of something drastic,and am encouraged by your post.

I love that fabric, I've seen it before at IKEA. You did an awesome job and you just built God's kingdom in your house before your family. Keep it up!
