In the coming weeks, we'll be finalizing our move to the Chicago area. We're trying to sell or give away as much as possible to make the last move easier, which puts us in the market for... a new sofa! Initially, I thought I wanted a sectional. One sofa doesn't give both of us enough room to lay down and, let's face it, we're sofa layers. As I was shopping, I had a hard time finding a sectional that I liked and in the right color (my heart is set on gray). Then I found this beauty!
I love the shape and it's an awesome deal. No, it's not a sectional, but I love it! The solution is that we'll have to get two of them, of course. The color shown is Oyster, but it also comes in this amazing gray textured fabric. It reminds me of boucle.
I'm very excited! Just need to figure out how we're paying for it.
One project I'll definitely be undertaking for the living room is this fantastic wreath made of torn book pages.
Love, love, love it! Thanks to Living With Lindsay for the idea and tutorial. She made this for about $2 with items from Dollar Tree. It has a wonderful vintage vibe and would be awesome if you used a book that has sentimental value. If you could bring yourself to do it, that is.
Shop-side, I won a bid on Etsy's Alchemy, so I've been working on a custom purse. I'll post some pics when that's done. Should be cute!
I've seen those wreaths before- they are awesome! What book(s) are you going to use when you make it?? You know there will be SOMEONE {cough} who is going to be a smart a** who tries to read the pages. :o)
ReplyDeleteI was just going to get a cheap romance novel at Dollar Tree, but maybe I need to use a self-help book for nosy people. :-)
