A quick DIY

So, I think I have stated this before, but I have a slight obsession with craigslist. We recently purchased a bamboo chair/desk and dresser. The chair had a less than desired seat cushion, so I immediately knew I had to get to the fabric store and buy some more "beachy" looking fabric.

My mom and I took a trip Jo-Ann Fabric's. We were walking around for a good 30 minutes, nothing catching my eye, and then in a last run through the back part of the store, I found THE perfect fabric. Oh and it was 75% off. Score!

We are in the middle of painting our downstairs family room. Going from dark wood paneling and like a yellowish wall color to Cilantro..which is like a pale turquoise. And the fabric goes very well with the new wall color as well, so I have some extra fabric for some throw pillows.

Anyway..here is a before and after of the chair:




Still debating whether or not to paint the chair...

Here is just one wall done with one coat of the new color. (As of today, the entire room has been completed..yay!)
