Before...

Our apartment in Ohio was decorated with dark, warm colors. Which I thought I wanted at the time but I quickly realized that it wasn't my style. Our apartment in Maine has an open floor plan with tons of natural light. I want lots of cool colors- light blues, greens, yellows, white, etc. You need to have light colors if you live by the sea, afterall.

We can't afford to buy everything new so we're thinking of ways to bring in more colors. We found this hideous chair at a thrift store for $15. We liked the bones of it, so we bought fabric to get it reupholstered.




After contacting several places, we realized how expensive it is to reupholster! But, at least we got to pick the fabric. We also had a friend from Jonathan's work make us pillows as a goodbye present. I'm hoping it will add some color to our couch. 






Stay tuned for the AFTER pictures and more craft projects. T-minus 3 days!
