About Me:

I am a collector, and if I'm not careful, I may turn into a hoarder. I've attempted to purge my stuff, but I am just not comfortable without it. My rooms are probably much too cluttered for most, but the clutter is what makes it home for me.

  • I started by removing the covers and washing them.
  • I labeled the "fluff" taken from the back cushions so I wouldn't get confused when it was time to re-stuff.
  • I used this quilt batting ($9.99 at Walmart) to beef up the cushions.
  • I simply trimmed the batting and wrapped it around the bottom cushions to boost their fluff-ability. Yep. That's the technical term. ;)
  • I put the covers back on the new beefed-up cushions and now my couch looks as good as new.

Spray Painted Dining Table and Chairs

Since painting furniture is my decorating love, I thought I would share a before and after with you of my dining room table and chairs! I painted the entire set with spray paint and I love it!
