It's finally here...

Some of you may remember I posted here that I had taken my oxblood Dansko's to match something I was going to purchase... well I am so happy it has arrived. But first let me show you what it is replacing
this uuugly floral sofa and loveseat!

Let me share a few tips from the" learned the hard way ole' soul"
1.Never buy a sofa when you're bone tired from looking.
2. Never give your old sofa away until the new one is in route... and
3.Never say it's not what I want but I can make it work.
I just spent five years of my life hateing this furniture everyday!


                                                                                                                                                               The sleeper had never been slept on and it was good as new or should I say "ugly as new."
This thing was indistructible... I know,    I tried!

Finally here it is... my red leather suit.

It looks brown in the photo but in real life it is a rich, oxblood red color.


The love seat is closer to the real color.


I found this fabric to make pillows and rod covers for the doors and windows
for seven dollars a yard.




After cleaning all of the cobwebs behind the sofa and chasing away dust bunnies,
I did get in a little thrifting. I found this cute cottage at Goodwill for $3 and this little
vintage stocking for $1


I'm using them at the condo as it is decorated primarily in white vintage.



Thanks for dropping by and y'all come on back.
