Wishing For Slipcovers...

By René @ Cottage and Vine 


This picture is from our living room.  The room doesn't receive much natural light and tends to be one of our darker rooms.   In an attempt to lighten the room, natural colored slip covers are on my list of things to make, but with the holidays quickly approaching, this will have to wait until after the New Year. 

  I opted to bring in some lighter colors.  I picked up a couple of compatible fabrics that were 50% off at a local craft store, and the pillow makeovers began.

Always looking to use what I have, I carefully removed the old fabrics from the existing pillows, took measurements, and created a fresh look.

 

You can't really see it well here, but in the first picture, there is a leather ottoman.  I'm thinking of making a slipcover for it as well (after the holidays of course). 

 

The room looks much lighter now does it not? And these changes with look great with my dream of a white (and green) Christmas.

Small changes can make all the difference.
