Home Decor

I've been reading the Make it and Love it Blog and I'm OBSESSED with it. I got an itch to make our house look more like a home, so here's what I did! I started with pillows for my couches. There was nothing there before, and now, I LOVE these pillows! I went to Joann's while they were having 50% off of their upholstery/home decor fabric, so I Totally scored there! And I already had some decorative plain pillows, that I just made slip covers for. Most of the pillows are completely made though.




Then I had some leftover fabric so I started to make some slipcovers for my barstools. Okay, so I didn't have as much fabric as I thought I did, so I had to get some more, but still, it was a good deal!
Here's the barstool before:

And here's the after:



Then I really did have enough fabric leftover from the stools that I was able to decorate my curtains. Before they were just plain solid colored curtains from Ikea.(boring, right?) I was inspired and feeling like I could do this, so I had the image in my head, then I came up with this:

I also made a grocery bag holder, which the directions are on Make it and Love it, and the slipcovers for the pillows are on there too. I did all of this in a few days... It was the week before I had my ultra sound for the baby and I was super anxious. So I had to keep myself busy. But I think it was definitely worth it. I LOVE it all! It's so nice to be able to make things that you actually like! Especially when you can SAVE sooooo much money!
