Doesn't it feel great to make over something you already have and have it turn out great and be just what you wanted? You'd be amazed what you can use to cover things with. Your new ottoman looks very chic. How smart of you. <br />I wanted a new slipcover for a couch we have that I really don't like in too many ways but no money. So I went trolling in an old trunk in my sewing room and voila found a matelasse bedspread, was just what I wanted for a while anyway til I get a yen for something else. It's a nice light green color so will be cool and casual in our living room. Our coffee table is a wicker outdoor table with a glass top and wicker shelf underneath, perfect size for our small l/r. Your blog is very inspirational.srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-10817270257198978662012-06-03T22:25:41.328-04:002012-06-03T22:25:41.328-04:00Oh I agree what a beautiful job.

And storage is a big plus as you all said. <br /><br />Fabric is even better than paint sometimes for a change in the decor or look of a room. That's why I often use a natural background so it can be updated with just a bit of fabric. <br />Happy Weekend~Donna, The Decorated Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772637069933752736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-30846997379907545422012-06-01T17:58:32.083-04:002012-06-01T17:58:32.083-04:00Fabric is the same as paint sometimes--it can chan...Fabric is the same as paint sometimes--it can change things so dramatically.

Although it was considered a very temporary solution, it has worked out well all around. The storage is dearly needed though!<br /><br />Thanks Marty & Kathy for stopping by.Donna, The Decorated Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772637069933752736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490180327385502642.post-29244266883361505042012-06-01T06:57:09.020-04:002012-06-01T06:57:09.020-04:00That was a great idea, Donna.
