Most of our furniture is either hand-me-down, yard sale, or thrift store purchased. With all this mix and match one might think they can't have a nicely coordinated decor. Ha! If you have recycled furniture of any type, try throwing it.
A Pretty New Corner |
Two Goodwill blankets dressed this ugly recliner up so much that even my husband, who looks at furniture only as a means to watch football, made a positive comment after I had fancified it. Each throw cost $3. The pillow is a Christmas pillow that my mother made that I turned around after the holiday. About 15 minutes after I very carefully put this little corner together, our cat, Booger, jumped up and initiated the "new" chair with a nap.
This is what the ugly chair really looks like. |
So why not rethink buying new or coordinated furniture. Pick up a few blankets and give your old junk a whole new look.

Um, some one needs to tell my cats it's the same stupid chair we have alway had. They are fighting over it now.

It has also become a play platform for Bryndal & Booger
