Woo-hoo! FINALLY!

Jeepers, I seriously thought I would have this done in 2 days...but I couldn't scrape together enough time to get this thing done until today!! And I am still going to make a couple of small coordinating throw pillows for the corners. You might recall me posting a picture of this back when we got it off of craigslist a few months ago. I originally had planned for this little baby to go in our library re-do. But, alas, is was not meant to be!! haha! We actaully ended up inheriting a lovely sofa from my little sister that fits much better in there. So this was re purposed into our master bedroom. And BOY, am I glad! It has made that room so happy! It is practically glowing. (I'm not kidding!)

Here we have the "BEFORE" and you may not be able to tell but this was the ORIGINAL upholstery, and it was NASTY!!! Soooo dirty. Cost, $30.

Below you will see her after I have torn all the fabric off, staple by staple! It's tedious, but oh-so-worth it! Often times, the tearing off/disassembling part takes the longest. (Having the right tools for this makes all the difference, btw!) The wood was really dinged up so I chose to paint it a bright white.

THROW that old FABRIC in the TRASH!!!!!
ICK.

~
And... after a quite respectable amount of toil and effort.....

~Voila~

{please excuse the fabric bits and staple gun in the back!! That thing is my best friend. Talk about making a project easy!Well, especially when what I used to use was a $20 staple gun from Lowes. Yikes.}

And since I was getting all excited...I decided to dress up these lamp shades while I had the hot glue gun out...

...With some FEATHER-TRIM! ohhh. Me likey!

Now, put them both together...and here's a little bedroom glamour! =)

Uh-Oh!!

I think my bed is starting to get jealous now.... I might have to attend to that next!!
