Let's Try this again!

There is a blog, my most favorite, most AMAZING blog ever! It is called Better After, and it is all the work of many talented men and women who have taken junky things and repurposed or reinvented them.  It is all before and after photos and stories.  A few days ago, I sent a before and after photo of a chair I reupholstered... AND Lindsay featured me! I can't even tell you how excited I was!  It totally made my life!  Her blog is such an inspiration to me and I find myself checking it periodically throughout the day!

Now, I have decided to get my talents to work for me and I am trying to re-do furniture to sell so that I can finally decorate my living room the way I want it.  I have fallen in love with this fabric design from Robert Allen & Dwell Studio I have been stalking the online fabric stores since apparently none of the stores in my area stock it... not sleeping at night.  It has been rough!  Then, my neighbor tells me that she has an old Ethan Allen wood frame couch that she is going to give to the DI I haven't even seen it & I am already in LOVE!  Hopefully I'll be able to post pics of it soon... BEFORE & AFTER!

Anyway, a few weeks ago I was in Oregon with my BFF's Kriss & Shauna when I found this FABULOUS lamp set! There are two... here's one of them Before...

And now....

For

the

AFTER!

Yup... My living room is going to look FABULOUS when it's all done!
