My New Obsession

I have been to the mecca of all that is good and holy. Row upon row of slubby basket and slubbed duck, prints in every color and pattern... I'm talking of course about RichTex Fabrics. I used to secretly think Krista was NUTS for going every week to check out the new arrivals. But now.

Oh, but now.

I have been redeemed.

We (I) decided that my very old couch needed a makeover. It has been through 6 roommates, untold numbers of boyfriends (not any of mine, of course) and a million parties. It is just time. Justin told me that I could trade in both Valentine's Day gifts and Anniversary gifts for said reupholstering. I told him that Moe's is fine with me, and off I headed to the fabric store. I'm such a low-maintenance wife. Of course I have taken his really nice offer and expounded upon it somewhat. We are going to get new pillows! And curtains! But don't tell him about that.

Here is what I have picked out. The pillow in the background is from the existing couch and chair which shall remain. I'm thinking of using either of the solid colors for the couch (can't decide! HELP!), the green print for some window panels and the others for lots o' pillows. Ooohh and the little breakfast room needs some color too! This is so much fun!Justin is going to be so surprised. He doesn't read my blog, by the way. He says that I just tell him all the stuff that I write about, so he doesn't bother. So let's keep this on the DL. Okay?

And then I am going to make curtains for the dining room! Oh the joy! And this is what I am going to use for that (the brown bamboo looking one). I am going to be such a busy bee.

If anyone knows how to sew, hit me up.
