A Futon Facelift

Delightfully Noted

About a year ago I recall coming across an article of 15 things you should never have in your home after 30 and there taking the #1 spot is the not-so-all mighty futon.
I admit until recently I was quite thee futon snob myself but when life hands you lemons....you squirt someone in the eye. No, just kidding....what I meant to say was when life hands you lemons, and that lemon is in the shape of a futon, you make lemonade.
When we were working on our playroom, I had visions of a cute little yellow couch in there but after replacing the floors and creating the built-ins, the budget wouldn't allow for it. So I had to get creative!


We acquired this futon about eight years ago when we moved into our first home.


The prior owners left it behind like a neglected, little puppy.
Luckily for me and this futon, I was able to breathe life back into it.


It's amazing how just a little paint and a new cover revived this thing!
So see! A futon can thrive in an environment sans kegs and ramen noodles!


Since we already had the paint on hand, the best part was that this project only cost us about $35. Not bad for something that provided both a functional and colorful impact to the room!
