Coffee Bag Pillows

Remember my awesome sofa I got? Remember how I told you I was going to show you more on my pillows that I made for it? Well here it is!  

I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seat.

I showed you some Pillows that I wanted to make for the sofa when I first got it. And I finally got around to doing it after I covered the Chair that I found...intheALI

So here they are!

 One side I used the coffee bag and on the other side I used the same fabric from my chair.

 I think they turned out so great. I love them.

 I think it coordinates well with everything in the room.

By the way........ I saw the fabric that I used in an article in Better Homes and Gardens. Man I'm just such a great fabric-picker-outer. :D

The Free Sofa RE-VAMP

About 2 months ago I got a new roommate. My old roomie took her couch with her, so I needed to get a new one. But the timing was Terrible and I could not afford a couch. My budget was about $50. I knew I could get something with potential for that price. I could always cover it or paint it or something. 

After searching craigslist I actually found one for FREEEEE annndddd..... Look at this thing:

Seriously. Too good to be true! This... free. If I had unlimited money to get anything I wanted, this would be the style I would choose. But.... it was a little dirty:

Check out the photos and the "after picture after the jump". 

(and you can also read the great story of how I got it into my apartment)

PREVIEW: Throw Pillows and New Sofa

I got this really great sofa on craigslist for FREE. Yea, thats right, be jealous. ;) 

If you go to my FACEBOOK page you can see a sneak peak of the "before" couch. (Then you can "like" me and then I will be really happy)

But it needs just a little fix up. 

Working on that currently.

But I've already got some ideas for my pillows. 

1. I will be copying  creating a pillow inspired by this pillow from World Market:

I will probably change the colors to match what I've got going on a little better.

2. Then with the coffee bean bags that I got from my boyfriends work (thats right, authentic :P) I will be making pillows similar to these from pottery barn:

I am so excited!! yaaaaaay! <--that's how excited I am, I'm showing my dorky side.
