HG Kris

I may have mentioned that I've been fairly engrossed in HGTV lately... (When we finally took the plunge to get high-speed internet, there was a deal to get cable t.v. We've agreed to keep it only for the six months of the special offer, so I'm getting our money's worth!)
So...here are my recent projects. The first picture is the "during" shot of my thrift-store ottoman re-uphostery project. Yep, that is blue vinyl. Oh, and my accidental splurge...the batting was in the wrong bin. I thought I was buying $7.99 worth and it turned out to be some eco-friendly $23.99 version!!!!

The next shot is a bit bright, but is shows the finished ottomans with our love seat and the final one is a close-up of the toile. (I hadn't seen it in more than two colors before, so I thought it was novel.)

The kids, of course, like them because they are on casters and they move about the room very easily. They are good kid-height for playing, too. Mark even liked them!

Cost:
ottomans $30
toile $13
batting $24
staples $2
fabric adhesive $6

I mention this because my great deal was really not that great =) Every do-it-yourselfer ought to know better!
