15 minutes.....and $11.00....gets you....
This has got to be one of my easiest and least expensive makeovers.....ever!
You just have to have a little vision....when you see an ugly....avocado green....70's sofa like this....with great lines....and for only $6.00 at a local thrift store...it was a no brainer for me. All this makeover needed was about a yard and a half of muslin (at only $3.00 a yard) and a staple gun....throw on some pillows I already had....and there you have it....an $11.00 makeover....I gotta say....that may have been the best $11.00 I ever spent.See ya!

Some little furry ball sure loves it too... Great piece... Happy Fourth.
ReplyDeleteUhm yeah!! love it! and that sweet little furry thing that has found on home with your cute pillows!!! happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a great piece now! Great vision in seeing past the avocado to what it could become.
ReplyDeleteLove it! So vintage. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is what thrifting is all about. I don't care if you have all the money in the world this makes you feel so good. reuse helps the planet!
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
