I'm planning a much prettier look for this piece:</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsJNoHc3GcrCT6UoJQsWZ6SE1WLCOZvUuWDFXDpVlxp5LnqD6C5glxvSwsujIZlQbE2RxhfhHkUWxNfcEKtxk6O5CJm9AVWJ6Z4W-ybApnrbR0DpguK4aFjghTS_z1Br7LBmbK5mVK5g/s1600/kijiji+sofa+image+1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsJNoHc3GcrCT6UoJQsWZ6SE1WLCOZvUuWDFXDpVlxp5LnqD6C5glxvSwsujIZlQbE2RxhfhHkUWxNfcEKtxk6O5CJm9AVWJ6Z4W-ybApnrbR0DpguK4aFjghTS_z1Br7LBmbK5mVK5g/s400/kijiji+sofa+image+1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm0vzEh5XpjHNWBPO0oub5zbhOpq3LGzh3y_QsmI71higTjXRw2HUFh5sZTN4Ivk9eXrwknxTjuAATB3O826HBjW-PWWElMzms_MUjIeszuxrjH69lKIi4qe2_SeEh52giQowhZYWnqQ/s1600/kijiji+sofa+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm0vzEh5XpjHNWBPO0oub5zbhOpq3LGzh3y_QsmI71higTjXRw2HUFh5sZTN4Ivk9eXrwknxTjuAATB3O826HBjW-PWWElMzms_MUjIeszuxrjH69lKIi4qe2_SeEh52giQowhZYWnqQ/s400/kijiji+sofa+2.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I love that it's white for all of the colorful accent pillows I'm planning to add. It's also on the smaller side (which will be perfect for my new rental space in the fall). The seller was asking $100 originally but because she really wanted it gone to make room for new furniture, she let it go for 70. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The only problem is the cushion covers are DIRTY y'all...but I think a good bleaching and scrub will have them looking good as new! </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Do you have any tips for washing cushion covers from IKEA?</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I'm also thinking about painting the wooden frame black..any thoughts? </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">xox<br />Tiffany Leigh</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">ps. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and happy mother's day to all the mums out there! </span>

Favourite Furniture Fridays: Courtney Lane

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Hi guys! I'm Courtney. I'm an interior design student in Seattle, and I blog about my love for design over at my blog, <a href="http://courtneylanemichaels.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Courtney Lane</a>. I was so happy when Tiffany asked me to come over and share my favorite piece of furniture with you guys!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The piece of furniture I'm showing you today is something I recently bought at a thrift store and am making plans to majorly update this summer!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I'll be honest, I'm not a huge DIYer. I know, I know. A blogger that isn't a DIY guru, what? I <i>do</i> like to do crafts, but usually when I see a DIY project that has more than 3 steps, I quickly decide to do something else. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">But every <i>once </i>in a while, especially in the summer when I'm free as a bird, I get in the mood for a bigger project.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_tyDd6mHbuuENLZpmL23mYciV6c8k8RNyvpmCfUC8LeGpna-SCdfx-q5XhLSa31TuENF8MZFJNKQ28K4zPBPU_e6eFc156zMEZX_lpNoeFhjZa1jDMMkF_YGaXE74Zzff0OXmH9xCkA/s1600/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table+close+up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_tyDd6mHbuuENLZpmL23mYciV6c8k8RNyvpmCfUC8LeGpna-SCdfx-q5XhLSa31TuENF8MZFJNKQ28K4zPBPU_e6eFc156zMEZX_lpNoeFhjZa1jDMMkF_YGaXE74Zzff0OXmH9xCkA/s400/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table+close+up.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCnkxLUMqsLaZJ-jWzk31KYUo9tptrMgiKt55VsOdIhLAO0a_5QkVArc9cWdHpeA-_g80_FyfdHI78IZTiyosx2Ew3e8t_KwtFmb4WQ8DXQhdaH4Mes_HX1qPYbs4m-cdiI3L9Y9gpYg/s1600/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCnkxLUMqsLaZJ-jWzk31KYUo9tptrMgiKt55VsOdIhLAO0a_5QkVArc9cWdHpeA-_g80_FyfdHI78IZTiyosx2Ew3e8t_KwtFmb4WQ8DXQhdaH4Mes_HX1qPYbs4m-cdiI3L9Y9gpYg/s400/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">When I saw this sewing table at the thrift store, it was love at first sight. I had recently been given my own nice sewing machine for Christmas, so I definitely didn't need another sewing machine. But it was definitely a plus that this one was in good working condition too. But I saw this desk and had visions of keeping my sewing supplies in the drawers and just having an extra work space. I loved how the machine could fold down into the desk too if I needed more room! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Then I came back to reality and realized I should check the price tag. I guessed it would be closer to $100 dollars and then it would be out of the question. But...score! It was only 35 dollars. So my mom and I hauled this cute thing out of the store and brought it home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">My plans for this sewing table are still coming together, but so far I know that I want to paint it either an antique white, a light gray, oooor a fun color. {I really narrowed it down there, didn't I? Ha}. I also want to switch out the handles for some cute Anthropologie ones like one of these styles:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQtBG0JBGY-85zjyz2Z6Y0Np8cYu_ywfuQyfLKoUkhd4I0oL0RYk9xGNB-K-bEv86WNATUZ7ARQF1Fyia6ypvcIyiarhilPdgTxaFyt1K6oDrgOxUjFY6cu1dnfOEAeI9SZRMLMrO_DNQ/s1600/anthropologie+handle.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQtBG0JBGY-85zjyz2Z6Y0Np8cYu_ywfuQyfLKoUkhd4I0oL0RYk9xGNB-K-bEv86WNATUZ7ARQF1Fyia6ypvcIyiarhilPdgTxaFyt1K6oDrgOxUjFY6cu1dnfOEAeI9SZRMLMrO_DNQ/s200/anthropologie+handle.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb0wYULQmHz2xp3QCPRCM1biCkMOTcGRckUFkbn6eceLcHP9k5QkM61JUZq0SRe06qf05RCMAXzWgJME1tS2JaxA4IS33YAswEg6boewOZbJ3RNigQK9I6Q_J9BlFYwOTiPaDXu8PksE/s1600/anthropologie+glass+handle.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb0wYULQmHz2xp3QCPRCM1biCkMOTcGRckUFkbn6eceLcHP9k5QkM61JUZq0SRe06qf05RCMAXzWgJME1tS2JaxA4IS33YAswEg6boewOZbJ3RNigQK9I6Q_J9BlFYwOTiPaDXu8PksE/s200/anthropologie+glass+handle.png" width="200" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-hardware/22665525.jsp" target="_blank">Library Pull</a> or <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/973166.jsp?color=cle" target="_blank">Bubbled Glass Handle</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I am so excited to get started on this project when I'm out of school in June.
