future projects

Just an update! I will be out of commission this week due to a sinus/nose surgery, but here are some of the projects I want to tackle soon.

A few months back, neighbors of ours were moving and getting rid of their couches, so I may have taken them... I am not at all about having used upholstered furniture around my house, but I decided to leave them out of the home for a few months and Had them professionally cleaned. Our large family room is dying to be filled with family gathering worthy furniture and to lose the couch-wannabe futon. My plan with these couches, since I am not fond of the color, is to do a drop cloth slip cover, which I will feature in a tutorial. This will probably be my next project, since these bad boys will be taking residence indoors come this evening!

Along with these couches, I took a matching, horribly stained ottoman (not pictured) that I plan to gut and redo entirely.

Remember these ugly green guys? Yeah, they're still hanging out in my garage. Below is the color I think I'm going to upholster them in.

Lastly, my dining room table was passed down to us with only 5 chairs when it needs 6. I plan to turn one chair into a two person bench by detaching the legs and sides, constructing a new bench with them.
