Couch Revamp

This sofa apparently has water damage. You can't really tell how bad, based on the photos. They are only asking $200 though, so I think it is a total steal. My roommate and boyfriend vetoed my decision to purchase it, because a) it will take me forever to reupholster it and b) they think it looks uncomfortable. Whatever. Grab a pillow and you're good to go. It is so dang cute. 

Maybe this baby was meant to be yours... available in the Inland Empire. 

Portland Brass

OUTDOOR COLLECTION :::installment two:::

This table is solid brass--I think I'm in love. It is so unique. Pretty sure this is the one I'd choose for my outdoor living room. I'm looking for chairs and am working on some other great outdoor pieces. Stand by for more! Happy hunting!

OUTDOOR COLLECTION :::the first installment:::

Back to blogging. Had a minor delay, as I was busy working on my sister's Bridal Shower. I'll do my best to make-up for it in this week's posts.

For starters, I'm inspired by the glorious weather that is now upon us. I love the idea of bringing your formal dining room outside. I think this sort of novelty creates memorable moments and I'm a firm believer that supremely appealing environments cause us to stop and soak in not only our surroundings, but the moments that encompass them. That being said, here is the first of a forthcoming Outdoor Collection.

Work with me, here. Pretty cute wrought iron vintage table below...

Plus....this pretty cute chandelier that would look way better with some tlc...

Equals...A Craigslist version of this beautiful Domino Mag outdoor living room. I love the juxtaposition of nature meets fine dining.

I think this beautiful coffee table speaks for itself. It is unique, simple and quite lovely. It is of course a little pricey, but again, compared to retail prices, it is a total steal.

Austin: Takin' care of business

I hardly EVER post about Craigslist finds that I think are overpriced. Based on how much time I've spent searching for deals, I really think asking $1000 is pretty daring. Hardly anyone seller would do that, because I think most people that are on Craigslist aren't looking to spend that much money. 

However, I saw this bed and these photos and just had to post. I mean...how lovely is that bed? Maybe it's the wood floors and the good amount of white that makes it that much more tempting,  but if I could, I'd buy this bedroom and make it my own.

Sorry to post about reupholstery again, but how cute is this chair? And it is tufted. I can't resist a tufted chair. It is available in Orange County.

I've rummaged through the internet for a site that has a step-by-step photo guide for DIY upholstery. This one is pretty good, but I'd love some suggestions.

Lastly, PurlSoHo (above) is one of my favorite fabric websites. (There aren't many well-designed fabric sites out there). PurlSoHo has such impeccable taste, that if it were me, I'd order several yards worth and get to work on some new furniture!

Greetings, Denver

Darn you Craigslist...I wish I had room for all of your great stuff. These benches are so great--imagine all the fun you could have deciding what to do with them. This pair is only $75 from Denver's List.
