Covering Our Couch: Part 1

June 30th, 2009

Me and David adopted this small sectional couch from a friend last year and I had every intention of immediately covering it with some crazy fabric.  Well… I procrastinated, but now I’m finally working on covering it!  I feel silly posting these pictures because it will show how hilarious and (I hate this word, but it really fits) “ghetto” our cover job really was.  We wanted to cover it with a fun, crazy color because we’re going to have to buy new couches in a couple of years anyway, might as well have fun with these :) . Having no experience and just guessing our way through this, I think we did a pretty okay job!

On to the process!

Scrabble Table Gone Bad

June 14th, 2008

Ugh, so I’ve been all over ebay trying to find the best deals on scrabble tiles because we had this great idea to cover a table in them for our apartment. I finally found 500 of them for 40 dollars (which is actually a deal, as high as that is) and thought we’d be set.

I went to test them out on the table and to my horror this is what I saw

After measuring it I saw that we’d have to spend at least another 80 dollars in tiles to cover the table! :( . So now we’re probably going to end up just making a couple of end tables (an end table only needed about 350 tiles).

Anyways, I figured I’d share the idea on here, if you’re willing to spend that kind of money! After the tiles have been glued down (spell out some words in there!) make sure you coat the table in resin so when you spill grape juice all over the table it won’t stain :) .
