But we thought, hey, we'll get covers for them, the sunflowers will be gone in a month, tops.
Fast-forward to two weekends ago, when I happened to look into the Last Chance bin at Ikea - and got $500 worth of couch covers for $30! Sure, they were meant to fit different-sized cushions, but I thought I could make them fit ours. So, one panic attack (at the thought of using scissors on such gorgeous fabric - I made the first cuts while on the phone with my Mom, I'm so glad she was home or I might not have had the guts) and a whole lot of thread later:
Bliss. One tiny corner of our tiny home has been tamed.

Don't ya love when you find a deal like that? They look good.
This end up! Our bedroom furniture was from there when hubs and I first got married. Actually his mom bought us our bed and armoire and we just brought his desk and dresser from home when we got our first apartment.
Wow! I wouldn't have known where to start altering something like that. It looks awesome! It is the best feeling to make something look good and yet also have it be such a deal.
I agree, such a great change. I love the discount area in Ikea. Ian often finds stuff for his "inventions" there and we have gotten a few pieces of furniture in that section also.
Okay...just for the sake of being devil's advocate here...you COVERED the sunflowers???!!! Didn't happen to save the fabric, did ya?? I LOVE those doggone perky flowers!! :)
