Everyone needs an event at their home now and then to motivate action. Even though it is hard while you are doing it, the aftermath will be enjoyable. There are so many projects I have been trying to complete and so I'll show just one of them today.
My mom, Freda, loved to slipcover and upholster. Something I'm not very excited about doing but sometimes it must be done. An ottoman is doable for me. I made this ottoman cover from home dec fabric to cover-up a much used, but still very sturdy ottoman in our family room.
Normally I wouldn't choose fabric so "modern". But I think it goes well in the family room to bring some pattern and color to the room. We did get new furniture recently for our family room. Not a purchase we really wanted to or planned to make this year, especially with a wedding, but with lots of events at our house, we decided to make a few needed changes. If you look really carefully you can see our dog Shadow sitting on the back of the new sofa.

Wonderful fabric choice...enjoy the week...I'm thinking of you, and hoping you get all the rest you need with so many things going on! Well...maybe you won't get any rest this week...but hopefully next!
I like your choice of fabric. It looks fantastic in your family room. Enjoy your wedding festivities.
Very pretty Nanette! I love how Shadow just blends into the new couch. Hope all is going well with the festivities -- your inbox will be bursting by the time you re-join us!

Very nice. Hope the wedding went well and you can relaz now.
Thank you for posting this! That ottoman looks quite splendid, in my opinion. I should start readying my house in the same way, since we'll be hosting a wedding reception in two month's time!
