My bedroom makeover is coming along nicely. I thought I'd give you a sneak peak of a snipet of the room (or rather an element of the room...or rather just my chair styling).18 months ago I found this wing chair in a thrift store. It was upholstered in blue fabric and very dirty. I bought it for a song with the intention of having it re-upholstered. After the fact I learned how much re-upholstery cost. Ouch! That's was I get for being over-eager. Live and learn. Anyhow, I went ahead and had it
One man’s junk…
Is this girl's treasure!
An office was throwing out these old, dirty, falling apart chairs.
I could see why, they were pretty narsty!I could also see that they had great lines for simple slipcovers.
They now sit at the heads of my table.

Since re-doing my bedroom I've had bedroom furniture on my radar. I'm on a scrawny budget so I'm on the lookout for inexpensive furniture or anything I can makeover.

Dearly Beloved, we gather here today to honor Tupu, our wonderful blue fish of 8 months and 11 days. Tupu, you were a faithful pet companion who brought joy in to our lives as we watched you swim. You never asked for much except clean water and a pinch of dried worms every morning. Little Gavin, next door, liked you so much he named his own very first fish after you. May you swim happily in fishy heaven.
