Gold Frame

I went shopping at the local thrift store with some friends today and what a find. I got this frame for a whopping 3.98. What a deal. Mom you would be proud. The lady at the register looked at my frame and said, "what a great deal, this is a very expensive frame." I had to chuckle to myself because, really its not an expensive frame. Its made out of plastic. I'm not sure what color to paint it yet, or if I want to make it into a chalkboard or a mirror. Any suggestiong? I will post the AFTER pictures when I finish it.

Couch Makeover

When we moved into our first house about 13 years ago, we purchased our first couch. It sat in our formal front room most of that time unused, except for a few home/visiting teaching occassions. The fabric is dated and it was looking very sad, so instead of buying a new couch, I made an attempt to recover it.

This is the before picture... and this is the After picture. Not too bad for a first try.
